R!N Leaves Aldious

Power metal band Aldious have announced the departure of their vocalist R!N.

In a statement on the band's website, it was explained that R!N was recently hospitalized due to depression exacerbated by severe stress. Subsequently, her bandmates have accepted the singer's decision to end her two-and-a-half tenure with Aldious. On her personal blog, R!N revealed she was first diagnosed in January and had lost nearly 10 kilograms in recent weeks as her symptoms worsened.

R!N officially joined Aldious in August 2019, having toured with the band as a support vocalist. As part of the quintet, she recorded the retrospective self-cover albums Evoke and Evoke II, as well as the recent digital single Show Down.
