It turned out that she was exactly what they were looking for, due to her ability to both sing and contribute lyrics. This completed the band's lineup, now under the name of Amberian Dawn.[1]

Heidi started to write lyrics which were often influenced by Finnish and Norse mythology, and many songs reference the Finnish national poem Kalevala. She undertook three European tours with the band and performed at several European festivals.

On 19 November 2012 the band announced that Heidi had parted ways with them. The decision was made in early 2012, making thus Metal Female Voices Fest their last show together with Heidi.[2]


Dark Sarah (2012–present)


A few days after her departure, Heidi announced that she had started a new musical project called "Dark Sarah". She said Dark Sarah "is making one of my dreams come true, a dream that had been sleeping for many years but now has finally awoken."[3]

Heidi explained the concept:

Dark Sarah's story Behind the Black Veil tells a story about a young woman called Sarah. She is left at the altar by her husband and she almost has a mental breakdown but instead something wakes up inside her and she changes to another person, her meaner half: Dark Sarah.

The musical style combines elements of film music, metal music and music theater. On the album called Behind the Black Veil, which will feature several guest musicians such as Manuela Kraller, Inga Scharf (Van Canto) and Kasperi Heikkinen (U.D.O, Merging Flare). Dark Sarah consists of a talented band including musicians like: Erkka Korhonen (guitar) (Raskasta joulua, Northern Kings), Sami-Petri Salonen (guitar), Jukka Koskinen (bass) (Wintersun) and Lauri Kuussalo (drums).[3]

Dark Sarah has released 3 albums so far, after an initial EP. The first album, Behind the Black Veil, was released in 2014. This was followed by The Puzzle (released 2016), and The Golden Moth (released 2018). The Violent Roses EP was released in 2014.[3]

In 2020 the band announced their signing to Napalm Records and a new studio album called "Grim".
