After reading the latest news from Evergreys site i started investigating. After visiting Jaris Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/jarikainulainen) i noticed that he provides the following info:

1. Killing Machine is before Evergrey on Jaris "Top friends" list
2. killing-machine.com is the link to the band that he is in (before it was evergrey.net)
3. His "bio" says: "Bands and previous bands: Killing Machine, Evergrey, Mess, E,Vil..."
Killing Machine is before Evergrey.

This is why i think that Jari is leaving Evergrey.
 
Lol, if this is true I remember what Tom said on stage at the concert in Helsingborg last year when he introduced the band, something like "Jari is our fourth bassist, and probably not our last."

U.S. metallers KILLING MACHINE have announced the addition of former STRATOVARIUS and current EVERGREY bassist Jari Kainulainen to the group's ranks.

Jari will continue with his position in EVERGREY, but the chance to challenge himself in a different field with KILLING MACHINE was an opportunity he did not want to miss.

Commented Kainulainen: "When [KILLING MACHINE founding member and guitarist] Peter [Scheithauer; ex-TEMPLE OF BRUTALITY, BELLADONA] contacted me and asked me to join KILLING MACHINE as replacement for David Ellefson [MEGADETH], I had to check it out. And after listening to a few songs I knew straight away that this is something I definitely wanted to be a part of. I especially fell in love with the fast and blasting bass lines and kick-ass guitar riffs., so it was an easy decision for me. I'm really looking forward to start playing with these guys."

Added Scheithauer: "First off, I am so thrilled that I can finally announce Jari Kainulainen as the new bass player!!!

"Once I was done with the demos, it was time to think about getting the band together. I wanted people who were ready to tour — no egos. Plus, returning to Europe, I wanted someone we can hang with who was first and foremost a true metalhead. Csaba [Zvekan, vocals] and Jon [Dette, drums; SLAYER, TESTAMENT] were already in and I knew David [Ellefson] was out of the question for the obvious reasons.

"I always loved Jari's playing. I saw him several time with STRATOVARIUS and love EVERGREY. If someone can play crazy bass lines and be creative it's him. And besides being an outstanding musician, he is a very cool guy and at the end that's what really matters."

The complete KILLING MACHINE lineup is:

Csaba Zvekan - Vocals
Peter Scheithauer (TEMPLE OF BRUTALITY, BELLADONNA) - Guitar
Jari Kainulainen (EVERGREY, STRATOVARIUS) - Bass
Jon Dette (TESTAMENT, SLAYER) - Drums

KILLING MACHINE will relocate to Europe for a series of summer shows and recording of the new album. The band has already confirmed an appearance at Germany's Headbangers Open Air festival on July 29.
