NIGHTWISH will release their new album, “Yesterwynde”, on September 20th through Nuclear Blast Records. It marks the band’s tenth studio album, following on from the release of “Human. :II: Nature.”, in 2020. To celebrate the news, NIGHTWISH have opened the door to their newly-built universe a tiny bit and allowed their fans a first glimpse of “Yesterwynde”. The band shares their first single, “Perfume Of The Timeless”, a beautiful song that provides a taste of the grandeur, drama and heaviness the new album has to offer.
Tuomas Holopainen comments on the song: “You are the result of an unbroken chain of millions of ancestors and their loves. ‘Perfume Of The Timeless’ reminds us all of this amazing fact. And if you’re not amazed, listen to it again, because it’s important.”
Working with Nuclear Blast since the release of their highly lauded 2004 album “Once”, NIGHTWISH have gained international fame and success selling more than ten million records and receiving more than 60 gold and platinum awards, having released six #1 albums and thirteen #1 singles. In October 2018, NIGHTWISH was inducted into the Tähtikatu – Walk of Fame Finland, becoming the honorary gallery’s eleventh member. 2020 saw the release of the band’s last studio record, “Human. :II: Nature.” that crowned the band’s discography with another #1 success in Finland and Germany as well as several other impressive chart entries worldwide.
