The band issued the following statement via social media last week:
“Some of you may have already seen us playing without our drummer Mikko Siren in Brasil and Mexico earlier this year…or have heard rumors to this effect. We are very sorry to have to inform you that we have amicably parted ways with Mikko after 20 years. Recording our forthcoming album [“Plays Metallica Vol. 2”] was our last collective achievement. Also, we want to reassure all of you that we – Eicca, Perttu and Paavo [Eicca Toppinen, Perttu Kivilaakso i Paavo Lötjönen] – will continue as Apocalyptica. We wish Mikko happiness and success in everything he aims for in all his future endeavors!!!“
Mikko Sirén zaczął występować na żywo z Apocalypticą w 2003 roku, a pełnoprawnym członkiem zespołu stał się dwa lata później. Artysta jest endorserem marek: Pearl oraz Paiste.
