Nightwish - Working On New Album


The first details about a new Nightwish album are surfacing. In a recent interview, keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen revealed he already wrote three new songs for the new album, including a 3min30 instrumental interlude. In the same interview, Tuomas said the new album will be will be his way to realise his biggest dream since he plays music:

"First of all when it comes to music and Nightwish I have a huge dream and we are doing everything we can to fulfill it on the next album. I am going to be a bit mystical here because I can't reveal to you anymore but there is going to be a big twist so to say, on the next album. I just hope we can realize that because it is going to be the all time dream come true if we can pull it off. It is going to take alot of time, effort, work, and money. We will see what happens, I am really looking forward to it."

The new album will be released by the end of 2010.

I'm very excited for this. I wonder what the twist is going to be. Are they going to be working with the London Symphony Orchestra?

I got to meet Toumas on their last tour. Really intelligent guy, really down to earth. Super nice.

I was wearing a Finntroll t-shirt at the time, and I asked him if he knew why Finntroll canned their lead singer, where he replied "I don't know, but that seems to be a growing trend now-a-days"

The look on everyone's face was priceless.


that really is priceless! He'd know exactly why considering the guy sang on Oceanborn! They'd be old friends.

Okay , that's enough Nw is my very best band ever , and Anette is Tuomas's choice he wanted her to be the lead singer , it's not her fault taking songs that doesn't go with her vocals , on the contrary she's a hard working singer trying to do her best and to take bad words from some ASSHOLES who don't have anything than saying Tarja Tarja , okay if you like Tarja she's her solo album go and buy it and don't ever listen to Nightwish ,,,

Wonder what Tuomas means by "twist?" Well, whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be an amazing aural experience. Can't wait for the new album, whenever it comes out! I know it'll be well worth the wait.

I can't wait to hear it, too! Ever since I read those news I've been wondering how the new songs would sound like. I also hope that they will be suitable to Anette's voice.
