Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful (mars 2015)

[Mr. Sandman]

Today Nightwish have revealed the first glimpse into their new album and first to feature Dutch vocalist Floor Jansen. It’s set for a release in spring 2015 via Nuclear Blast.



Enjoy the ride, as Nightwish take you on a trip to where the magic happens: Settled right in the middle of the beautiful wintery landscape of Eno, Finland, band members and sound staff gather round the long table of “the Cabin” to discuss every aspect, relevant for the making of NIGHTWISH album #8. So far the bands’ mastermind, keyboardist and visionary composer Tuomas Holopainen and sound engineer Tero “TeeCee” Kinnunen recorded demo version of 12 songs.

Commented Tuomas Holopainen: “From the moment I start writing the song, I have the story in my head. I have a really clear vision how the songs should sound like at this point. Of course they will chance after band rehearsals and arranging. And they should change!”

Le batteur doit se retirer du groupe, pour problème d'insomnie :

Jukka Nevalainen will take a break from his duties as the drummer for the Finland-based symphonic metal band NIGHTWISH in order to deal with his health issues.

Nevalainen has released the following statement regarding his decision to step aside during the recording sessions for NIGHTWISH's forthcoming album:

"How to begin telling something that you wouldn't want to have to tell, although you know that the decision you made is the only (at least the only right) one you could make at the moment? I face this dilemma now, and will do my best to find the right words.

"For a number of years, I have suffered from occasional but very difficult insomnia, something that has been my unwanted companion during many of our tours, too. I've done my best to try to control it or at least to cope with it. Still, we don't even really know why we need sleep, so unfortunately there's not much information available on why some of us suffer from sleeplessness. There is no 100% cure for the problem.

"During the last month, it has become evident for me that due to my insomnia, I can't fulfill my duties as a musician in the way that I'd want and with the precision that the music deserves. Thus I have decided to step aside from my duties as the drummer of NIGHTWISH during the recording of the forthcoming album and the subsequent tour. I will still be involved in managing the day-to-day affairs of the band, but the dearest and the most important thing, playing, is, for the time being, not possible. Time will tell what the future holds.

"On a personal level, my decision obviously feels indescribably sad. Fortunately, looking at it with some distance, it is 'just' part of the constant, inevitable ebb and flow of life. The sad things are part of it as well as the beautiful, unforgettable experiences and adventures that I've already had the pleasure to experience in spades. Surely, there will still be many adventures ahead, too.

"My good friend Kai Hahto [WINTERSUN] will play drums on the forthcoming album. I'm extremely grateful that he didn't hesitate for a minute when he decided to help us in this challenging situation. What comes to touring, everything is still open, but we will let you know as soon possible what the lineup will be.

"If beginning this was hard, so is ending it. So maybe I will just quote something fitting.

"'You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.' ― Eckhart Tolle"

The "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" title came from Charles Darwin's "The Origin Of Species" book, where he wrote: "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, while this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

Commented NIGHTWISH keyboardist and main songwriter Tuomas Holopainen: "This classic quote is where it all began. We set sail for the ultimate journey in March 2015. Join us!"

A single called "Élan" will precede the full-length CD on February 13. The four-track single features the album version of the title cut, a radio edit and an alternate version of "Élan", as well as the non-album bonus track "

Titre chiant ... grosse déception.

[trace la route]

En effet, bof bof ce morceau, espérons que le reste de l'album soit tout autre...

[Bib]

Putain, mais quelle merde... Titre chiant, pompeux, entendu 1000 fois...
Apparemment Tuomas ne sait plus proposer autre chose !

[Mr. Sandman]

Un nouveau titre en écoute :

[over'phil]

le deuxieme extrait est meilleur mais bon les single chez Nuclear blast ne sont forcement des grands crus

[Everflow]

Sur ce deuxième titre cette fois c'est du vrai Nightwish à la hauteur de ce qu'on pouvait attendre avec Floor.

[NicoGan]

Bien mieux en effet et dans la lignée de ce qui était fait avec Annette
