From today, Diamond Black officially move forward as a 3-piece:

🎸 Ben Christo – guitar, lead vocals
🎤 Adam Hart – bass, vocals, art direction
🥁 Jan-Vincent Velazco – drums

This marks a powerful new chapter for the band, and we’re feeling energised and focused for what comes next.

Our former vocalist, Jaakko Turunen, remains a respected part of our history. His contributions to the band’s visual identity, songwriting, and musical direction have helped shape Diamond Black into what it is today. All existing songs, videos, and co-written works will remain part of the DB catalogue, with unreleased material featuring his vocals still to come.

“We are grateful for Jaakko’s passion and creativity and wish him the very best for the future.”

With big plans already lining up for 2023, we move into this new era with strength, clarity, and — as always — gratitude to YOU, our incredible Diamonds.

🖤 Thank you for your patience, support and belief.

Love & respect,
Ben, Adam & Vincent
