Cain's Offering is a Finnish power metal supergroup that formed in 2009.
History
Cain's Offering was formed by former Sonata Arctica members Jani Liimatainen and Mikko Härkin, Stratovarius singer Timo Kotipelto, Norther and Wintersun bass player Jukka Koskinen and drummer Jani Hurula.[1] Their debut album Gather the Faithful was released in July 2009 through the Japanese label Avalon.[2] All music and lyrics were written by Liimatainen.[3] On June 25 the band announced that they've signed a deal with Frontiers Records and that their debut album will be released on August 28 in Europe and on September 11 in the USA.[4]
Many fans were asking about a tour, and this is what Jani said in an interview with "Power of Metal":
| “ | So far none, since as you probably know, Timo is very busy with Stratovarius now that they just released Polaris. Hopefully next year we get to do some live shows, as I would love to bring this material to life up on the stage as well.[5] | ” |
Jani posted a picture of his computer's desktop in 2013 showing a folder named Cain's Offering II, so it can be assumed he is working on a follow up to Gather The Faithful but no release date has been announced yet.
