Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Yesterwynde' operates as the tenth studio album by the pioneering Finnish metal band, continuing their long-standing exploration of grandiose, cinematic orchestration. The record delves deeply into philosophical concepts of time, memory, and human evolution, supported by lush, atmospheric symphonic arrangements. It notably marks their first studio release following the departure of long-time bassist and vocalist Marko Hietala.
