The time has come, the clock strikes twelve and another era in the wonderful and literally fantastic history of NIGHTWISH has begun: the Finnish Symphonic metal veterans have released their new album Yesterwynde, a stunning journey through memory and monumental music. Known for heavy, orchestral, melodic and folk trademarks, the band’s tenth studio album is a dark chest of wonders that, once opened, pulls the listener into a magical world beyond time.
Tuomas Holopainen about the new album: “Yesterwynde is finally here and ready to open its cabinet of stories, timelessness & hope for you dear listener. We are infinitely grateful that we get to share this ocean and all of its islands with you all.”
Together with the release, NIGHTWISH have dropped a music video for their song Lanternlight, an intense, quiet, reflective ballad touching themes of loss and mortality.
Tuomas on the video: “Lanternlight was the first song written for the album and the natural finale of the Yesterwynde journey. A love song, reaching for the timeless; a music to immortalize the memories of those dearest to us.”
