Still, Finnish Symphonic metal legends NIGHTWISH filled this word with life, when they announced their tenth studio album at the end of last month. Today, NIGHTWISH have officially launched the pre-order for Yesterwynde.
Yesterwynde will be available in a number of different vinyl variants, as a jewelcase, digipak, earbook and as part of a deluxe vinyl boxset.
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' today, a beautiful song that provides a taste of the grandeur, drama and heaviness the new album has to offer.
Tuomas Holopainen shares his thoughts about 'Perfume Of The Timeless':
”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.”
