This was already announced in our previous update about Petri Mäkipää joining Shear, but this definitely deserves its own update as well.
On November 21st we will be playing our first show ever in Tokyo, Japan at Astro Hall! We’re extremely excited for the event and can’t wait to hit the stage!
More information about the event can be found here.
Shear welcomes Petri Mäkipää as drummer! Juhana Karlsson had to step down from his position as SHEAR’s drummer due to logistic reasons. We would like to thank Juhana for all these years, he was an important part of SHEAR and will be greatly missed. We wish him nothing but the absolute best!
Petri Mäkipää (Ghoul Patrol, Diablerie, The Nibiruan, Fleshred) has played various gigs with SHEAR throughout the last 6 years and he even filled in for Juhana on our European Tour last year. Pete has proved to be an amazing drummer in addition to being a great friend, so we warmly welcome him on this journey!
To Juhana, we love you, take care and keep rocking!
To Pete, fasten your seatbelt, next stop LOUD & METAL MANIA VOL.2 and HOKUO MUSIC FEST in Tokyo, Japan!
