The album was produced by Ben Varon. Marko Hietala produced the vocals of Ari. The music is more progressive than ever on Amoral's albums and it has more metallic touch as their two previous albums. [10] [11] The album has received predominantly very positive reviews from metal magazines and webzines around Finland, Europe and the US. The band has been praised for their instrumental and vocal skills and liberated versatile music. [12] "Fallen Leaves & Dead Sparrows" reached Finland's chart-position No. 18 in the first week and stayed on charts for two weeks. The first video Blueprints was published in March 2014. The second video Prolong a Stay was released 29 August 2014. In January 2015 Amoral released The Cure cover Burn.

In Sequence (2016)

In February 2015 Amoral started recording their seventh album In Sequence, which will be released global 5 February 2016 and in Japan 29 January 2016. [13] The album continues the progressive metal style of "Fallen Leaves & Dead sparrows" but heavier. Beside the six members there are also some quest musicians featuring in the album, as percussionist Teho Majamäki, Indica singer Jonsu and Amine Benotmane from Acyl. [14] The first single "Rude Awakening" was published in December 2015 on YouTube, and the second single "The Next One to Go" in January 2016. In an interview with German metal website Negatief.de, Ben Varon spoke about the album's concept: [15]

"...in general we wanted to keep the focus on clean vocals, even though Niko is back in the band. I think the melodic side of Amoral is such a big part of us nowadays. I didn't wanna go all the way back to growling. Niko's vocals are more a special effect that we use when it's necessary and brings that "extra something" to the song. Then again Niko also came back as a guitar player... The album is obviously heavier because of Niko. Ari sings super clean. There is no rock'n'roll in his sound on the new album. Niko does all the aggressive parts and when Ari comes in its really smooth and deep."

Touring with Amoral

Ari Koivunen has toured with Amoral in Finland and in Europe from 2009 on. Ari debuted with Amoral in the US at SXSW event and in China in spring 2012. The band performed also in Japan at the same tour. Ari was touring second time in Europe with Amoral in autumn 2012, when Amoral supported Ensiferum at the "Bearers of the Swords 2012" tour. [16] The band toured in Asia in April–May 2013, playing at Pulp Summer Slam festival in the Philippines and at the Peking and Shanghai Midi Festivals in China. The festival in Peking was the biggest one in the band's history with an audience of 10 000 people. They toured in Europe again in November 2014 with Swedish metal band Dark Tranquillity. [17]

The band had the In Sequence tour in Finland in spring 2016. [18] Ari Koivunen did not sing on the "Old School Tour" of the band in Finland in autumn 2016, as the band only played the three first albums with original singer Niko Kalliojärvi. Ari's last performance in Amoral took place on 5 January 2017 at the final show of Amoral in Helsinki, Finland.

Disbandment

27 July 2016 the band announced, signed by all the current members, that they will disband in the beginning of 2017: "It is with heavy hearts that we announce that we've decided to disband Amoral. This was not an easy decision, as this band has been such a huge part of our lives (in the case of Ben and Juhana, for about 19 years!), but yet it felt like it was time. Constantly conflicting schedules and a fading interest in touring by some members have made the band run at half-speed. Amoral is not a "half-speed" band. It's all or nothing. And, to be honest, the idea of starting something brand new after all this time has become very appealing...." [19]

Other projects

Beside Amoral, Ari has played also solo and duo shows among others with his previous bandmates, Erkka Korhonen and Luca Gargano.

Ari has joined the Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) – tour in Finland each year since 2007 (except 2017 for vocal cord infection) with a group of well known Finnish metal vocalists.

Ari sings in four Heavy Christmas albums: "Raskasta Joulua"(2013), "Raskasta joulua 2" (2014), "Tulkoon joulu – akustisesti" (2015) and "Raskasta joulua IV". The two first albums have sold Platinum (over 20,000 units) in Finland. [21] [22] Ari sings in the first album a traditional Finnish Christmas song Arkihuolesi kaikki heitä, in the second album "The First Noel" and in the acoustic album Sylvian Joululaulu and in the fourth album "Kun joulu on". The two first albums and the fourth album contain also a song where all the singers sing together, on the 1st one Tulkoon joulu, on the second one Joulu, juhla parahin and on the fourth they sing "Joulun rauhaa".

2015 Ari started to perform at the Music Theater Palatsi in Tampere, Finland. The theatre changed its name to Finnish Music Theatre, Suomen musiikkiteatteri in 2017. Their first play with Ari was the rock musical I Wanna Rock in 2015, where he plays the roles of Michael Monroe, Axl Rose and Steve Perry. [23] He went on playing in the theater also 2016 in a musical called Autiotalossa where he plays the name role of the legendary Finnish rock musician Neumann from the band Dingo in the 80s. [24] In winter 2017 there was a premiere of We Rock! Heavyrock Night, where Ari and 5 other singers sing legendary heavy metal songs. In autumn 2017, there was a premiere of the Finnish 70s retro rock musical Raparperitaivas, [25] where Ari plays one of the main roles.

Idols

Idols 2007

In late 2006, Koivunen auditioned for the third season of the Finnish singing competition Idols , which had had a prolonged break since 2005's second series. Prior to auditioning, he had been working as a bartender. His strong and very distinctive voice impressed the panel of judges (Asko Kallonen, Nina Tapio and Jone Nikula) and he was passed through to the next round of the competition. He was then granted a place in the semi-finals, which would allow the public to decide which contestants would make it into the live final rounds. In his semi-final round, Koivunen received a massive public vote of 86%, thereby allowing him to breeze through to the live finals.

Idols performances

  • Audition: "FullMoon" by Sonata Arctica
  • Semi-Finals: "Piano Man" by Billy Joel
  • Top 7 Birth Year: "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple
  • Top 6 Dedications: "The Evil That Men Do" by Iron Maiden
  • Top 5 Kings and Queens: "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake
  • Top 4 My Idols: "Rock and Roll" by Led Zeppelin
  • Top 4 My Idols: "Hunting High and Low" by Stratovarius
  • Top 3 Finnish Hits: "You Break My Heart" by Broadcast
  • Top 3 Finnish Hits: "Sielut Iskee Tulta" by Kilpi

  • Top 2 Grand Final: "Still Loving You" by Scorpions
  • Top 2 Grand Final: "On Top of the World" by Ari Koivunen – Declared 3rd Finnish Idol

A resident of Lahti, Koivunen breezed into the finals after winning 86% of the public vote for his rendition of Billy Joel's Piano Man . On the first of March 2007, Koivunen reserved himself a place in the second round of competition with his version of Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers .

Koivunen moved into the third round of competition on 8 March with his performance of the Iron Maiden classic The Evil That Men Do .

On 15 March, Koivunen made it into the fourth round of competition, singing the Whitesnake hit, Here I Go Again . Despite some criticism from the judges for singing only heavy metal songs in the finals, Koivunen was unperturbed. "I don't see any reason to consider what people might like, since it seems they like the same thing I do," said Koivunen. At the end of the evening, Koivunen, the six other Idols finalists, and three of the semifinalists were presented with gold records for their album Idols 2007, which sold over 15,000 copies in the two days after its release.

The fourth Idols final was held on 22 March, and Koivunen chose to sing, in keeping with the week's theme, two songs by his own idols, the Led Zeppelin hit Rock and Roll and Hunting High and Low by the Finnish metal band Stratovarius. The judges, however, were not pleased with Koivunen's continuance of the heavy metal line, and gave him an unprecedented four negative reviews. The voting public was of a different opinion, as Koivunen again made it into the next round without being in danger of elimination.

The fifth Idols final was held on 29 March, and Koivunen won over the judges completely with his version of the Broadcast ballad You Break My Heart. For his second song, Koivunen sang the Finnish hit Sielut iskee tulta by the heavy metal band Kilpi. With these performances, Koivunen made it to the Idols final which was held on 6 April 2007 in the Helsinki Ice Hall, where he defeated his fellow competitor Anna Abreu by gaining 57% of the public vote. Koivunen sang the Sonata Arctica song FullMoon (which he also sang in the auditions), the Soundgarden hit Black Hole Sun (chosen by the judges), the Scorpions ballad Still Loving You and the song On the Top of the World which was composed for the Idols winner.

As his reward for winning Idols 2007, Koivunen received a recording contract with Sony BMG, and an advance payment of 30,000 Euros. His first solo single was On Top of the World, the song composed for the Idols winner. He had already sung with the other Idols finalists on the single "Pop-musiikkia".
