Album Notes & Community Reviews

Introducing Anette Olzon as their new lead vocalist following a highly publicized split with Tarja Turunen, the Finnish titans produced their most expensive, orchestrally ambitious album to date. Recorded with the London Session Orchestra, the project explores exceptionally dark, theatrical themes and massive, Celtic-infused power metal.
