In April 2009, Jani announced on his MySpace page that he would be playing in a band by the name of Cain's Offering. Info about the new lineup was also released in the April issue of "Burrn!" magazine. Timo Kotipelto of Stratovarius and Mikko Härkin (ex-Sonata Arctica) were also a part of the band. The band has released two albums, Gather the Faithful in 2009, and Stormcrow (album) in 2015. They also released an acoustic covers album in 2012 titled "Blackoustic".
