Nightwish, the Finnish/Dutch/British symphonic sensation, is back with its tenth studio album, Yesterwynde. Known for its seamless blend of acoustic melodies and symphonic heavy metal, the band continues to push musical boundaries with every release.
Tuomas Holopainen shares that Yesterwynde took over three and a half years to create, making it their most meticulously crafted album yet. The new record delves into universal themes like memories, mortality, and humanism, concluding a lyrical trilogy that began with Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2015) and Human. :II: Nature. (2020).
With its rich compositions and intricate details, Yesterwynde has sparked diverse opinions, being described as the band's heaviest, most progressive, and most collaborative work. Holopainen hints at its depth, saying, "If something in the composition puzzles you, the words might clear it up".
Yesterwynde will be available as an exclusive 4 LP Boxset with calendar, on exclusive splatter and marbled 2LPs with 16-page booklets and various other strictly limited formats on 20 September via Nuclear Blast Records and is already available for pre-order.
The band has just shared the first single and video, "Perfume Of The Timeless". Link
