Nightwish - Update On The New Album


Nightwish vocalist Anette Olzon has posted the following message on her blog:

About the upcoming Nightwish album: "Tuomas demo is finished and ready. In July-September we go and rehearse the songs together and do a final demo. Then the recordings start and my part will be recorded early next spring. So everything is going just according to the plans and its exciting times ahead."

Anette stated in February that the new Nightwish album is planned to be released earliest in the summer/autumn of 2011.

About the project with Fredrik and Martijn (Within Temptation) she adds: "It's going forward and I have recorded one song that is with Martijn for mixing at the moment and I look forward to hear it soon. The project album is also discussed with record labels at the moment and as soon as we know more I promise to tell you who more will be involved etc."

And she writes the following about her baby: "Me and the baby are doing just fine. The baby is growing according to the curve and lying with the buttom down at the moment. My belly is not super big but it has grown quite fast the last weeks. We are awaiting our newest member in the summer and its exciting to be a mum again."

I personally think Anette>Tarja. Anette's voice goes better with the new stuff the band is coming out with. Saying that I think Tarja does a better job at the old songs.

It'll probably turn out good but I still will not see it as a Nightwish album.

As Heissayen said, she's a good POP singer. Not a METAL singer. And Nightwish has been dead for me since the new album, this is their chance to make up for it. In any way, this is going to be interesting.

Anette is nowhere near Tarja's level of technicality and register, but her attitude is more fan-friendly. I am looking forward to Tuomas' new deployment of talent

Remember people, at the time Tuomas wrote DPP he didn't know witch level of vocalist they would get or her vocal techniques, but DPP turned out to be really good as well And this time he know Anette's vocal skills and he know what kind of songs he can write for her, so I think this will turn out to be a really good piece of music. I will always support them anyway, they have turned out to be a really big part of my daily life.

I'm glad she updated us on the baby. I was starting to wonder about that. Now though, I can sleep easy.

Isn't Anette singing Tarja's songs? What's wrong comparing them?

While I do think Tarja is a much, much better singer than Anette, let's face facts here - ANETTE is the one singing for Nightwish now. So, we all need to accept that. Hell, she's been with them a few years now, so everyone should have accepted it by now! I'm excited about the new album. Hope all goes well with Anette and the baby, too.

And in fact, some songs like Everdream or Ghost love score, ANette sings better.

Well, this is gonna be much anticipated, coz this album will be either very gud, or tragically awful, and I mean Vocally not musically, coz I have no doubt in Tuomas talents...

All this tarja fanboi shite is old and pathetic. She's gone...if you don't like it, fuck off.

No more of this "nightwish is dead to me" stuff on forums because it is just pathetic. If they were "dead" to yo, you wouldn't so incapable of not discussing the matter.

I find it pretty cool that the new album is being progressed. Also, I am looking forward to the baby being born as well. Motherhood is a monumental responsibility.

Oh and personally... I think BLAZE BAYLEY is Nightwish's better vocalist. D:<

I had high hopes that the album will be out at the end of this year, I can't wait to hear it! ... But I will have to, it seems . Oh well, at least it's for a good reason - a child is always worth it. . I hope they visit Bulgaria in the next tour, I'd love to see them.

I think some people already answer that question before me.
Tarja is an opera singer, Annete's not. So how can we compare? We can't. So let's just move on.
Who is better? I don't know, they're too different to compare.

You're not the only one. I also like both nightwish eras. End of an Era is a fantastic dvd and when I listen to it I'm a bit sad because obviously Annete can't sing the old songs like Tarja did, but I also like Dark Passion Play and I can't imagine Tarja singing the new song like Annette does. So for me is a tie.
