Please help us welcome our new Brother and please stop by his MySpace page and add him to your list.

Bio from Chity:

The Native Sri Lankan, Chitral "Chity" Somapala (CIVILIZATION ONE, ex-FIREWIND) broke into the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal scene in 1996, and has recorded, toured, and made guest appearances with several bands around the world, including AVALON, FARO, Firewind, and RED CIRCUIT, to name a few. His unmistakable style of singing combines the passion of blues and soul, with the heaviness of hard rock and heavy metal. Chity has been compared favorably to Ronnie James Dio (RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN AND HELL, DIO) and Klaus Meine (SCORPIONS), and he has established himself as one of the leading heavy metal vocalists in the business today.
