Featuring an orchestra and choir recorded at Abbey Road Studios, this album is even more symphonic, catchy, and heavy than their previous works?a true masterpiece! Nightwish is a symphonic metal band that Finland is proud of. Even in Finland, a country where metal is very popular, their popularity is outstanding. They are regulars at number one on the album charts, their concerts are stadium-sized, and it's no exaggeration to say they are national stars. In 2021, longtime bassist Marko Hietala left the band. In 2022, Floa Jansen (Vo) announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Furthermore, they declared an indefinite suspension of touring, a situation that must have been worrying for fans. But rest assured. Nightwish will not stop. Nightwish has released their first new album in four years, "Yesterwynde." As leader Tuomas Holopainen (Key) says, "It took longer to make than any of our previous albums," and indeed, it took three and a half years to complete. This album, which features Jukka Koskinen, bassist of Wintersun and Crownshift, for the first time, is as symphonic, catchy, and heavy as ever, and will be irresistible to fans and newcomers alike. The orchestra and choir, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, are simply gorgeous. There's no need to mention again how wonderful Floa Jansen's vocals are. On the other hand, as Tuomas says, "The songs are easy to get into, but there are a lot of interesting features hidden beneath the surface. It's an album that you'll have to listen to many times to fully digest," and indeed, this album is both accessible and incredibly profound. It is truly an album packed with the essence of Nightwish. A must-listen for all metal fans. - They are a regular number one on the charts in their home country of Finland.
