(2007)
Well known Finnish band are releasing their sixth album “Dark Passion Play”. It is scheduled for release on September 26, 2007. As this is a promo it has voice overs all over the album so this may not be the perfect copy to get…it might be a good idea to wait until theres a better release unless your a really big fan of Nightwish then go ahead and enjoy.
"Dark Passion Play" is the upcoming sixth studio album from Finnish Symphonic Power Metal band Nightwish. It is scheduled for release on September 26, 2007 through Spinefarm September 28, 2007 through Nuclear Blast and Roadrunner Records. It is band’s sixth studio album and the first album to feature the band’s new lead vocalist, Anette Olzon, and the first without former vocalist Tarja Turunen, due to her departure in October 2005. "Dark Passion Play" will be the band’s first studio album in three years, the longest non-album gap in their history.
The first single from the album, “Eva,” was released on May 25, 2007 as a download-only single. The income of the single will be donated to children’s charity (Finland: familyhomes “Viliina” and “Tiaisen Pesä”; the rest of the Europe: “Die Arche”). On August 22, about a month before the album’s release, a second single entitled “Amaranth” will be released. The third single of the album will be “Bye Bye Beautiful”, but the date of the release is still unknown.
The band is cooperating with the London Session Orchestra and Metro Voices Choir, as they did for Once. They are also working with several guest musicians - band founder, keyboardist and main songwriter, Tuomas Holopainen, commented that people might be wondering what’s going on with all the musicians running to and from the recording building in London. The first information about the album and its singles was revealed on February 19 on the band’s official website. The title and artwork were revealed on June 13.
