Bio:
Nightwish is a symphonic power metal band from Kitee, Finland. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of its debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2002, Vänskä was replaced by Marco Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.Although Nightwish have been prominent in their home country since Angels Fall First, they did not achieve worldwide fame until the release of the albums Oceanborn (1998), Wishmaster (2000) and Century Child (2002). Their 2004 album, Once, has sold more than one million copies and was the band's breakthrough in the United States. Their biggest US hit single, “Wish I Had an Angel” (2004), received MTV airplay and was included on three US film soundtracks to promote their North American tour.The band produced three more singles and two music videos for Once, as well as a re-recording of “Sleeping Sun” for the “best of” compilation album, Highest Hopes (2005), before Turunen's dismissal in October 2005.Her last performance with Nightwish was recorded on the live album/DVD End of an Era; after the show, the other members announced to Turunen that she was no longer a member of Nightwish.In May 2007, Nightwish announced Anette Olzon as Turunen's replacement.That September, the band released their sixth album, Dark Passion Play, which has sold almost 2 million copies. The album's lead single, "Amaranth", became one of Nightwish's most successful in Europe.[6] The supporting tour, one of the band's largest, started on October 6, 2007 and ended on September 19, 2009.The band released an E.P./live album, Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places), in March 2009 as a MCD/DVD, and their seventh studio album, Imaginaerum, was released globally on various days in late 2011/early 2012.On October 1, 2012, Nightwish announced that they had parted ways with Olzon and would be finishing the current tour with ReVamp and former After Forever vocalist Floor Jansen.In October 2013, Nightwish made Jansen and longtime session uillean pipes player Troy Donockley permanent members of the band.Nightwish is the third-best-selling band and musical entity in Finland with certified sales of nearly 900,000 certified copies.The group is also the most successful Finnish band worldwide, selling more than 8 million records and receiving more than 60 gold and platinum awards, having released five Number 1 albums and thirteen Number 1 singles
Album:
Yesterwynde is the upcoming tenth studio album by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, and is set to be released on 20 September 2024 by Nuclear Blast.This is their first studio album since Century Child to not feature Marko Hietala following his departure from the band in January 2021, and their first to feature Jukka Koskinen as the new bassist.The title of the album is a word made by band member Troy Donockley, which Holopainen describes as the feeling of time, history, memory, and being connected to past generation, who have "all had their lives, their ups and downs, and they don't exist anymore, except as atoms scattered all over the universe. And we're going to be in that state pretty soon as well. So that should give you something to think about."Holopainen has described the album as being about humanism, history, and the inspiration thereof, and that outlook of the album is positive and optimistic.The album's name was announced on 30 April 2024 along with a release date for 20 September 2024.The first single for the album, called "Perfume of the Timeless", was released on 21 May 2024.The second single, called "The Day of...", was released on 8 August 2024.There is no tour planned to support the album, as the band is set to go on a hiatus from touring following the album's release, which Hahto had said would last for "two or three years".
