Soldato
Just heard the promo version of the new Nightwish due for official release in approximately a month, after being told by a mate it was now available. (Oddly right around the time the Amaranth video has gone out).
Have to admit, some of the tracks on it seem pretty good, I'm looking forward to the album's release in September, the new singer is certainly very different from Tarja, but that was to be expected, and despite what some of the rabid Tarja fans would have you believe, she actually has a pretty good voice. From the Amaranth video, she also seems more energetic/lively than Tarja, who always seemed to focus on imposing, strong poses in the older videos, but always seemed very 'immobile' for it.
Given an album or two, she just may grown into the role
Amaranth (catchy chorus!), Last of the Wilds and 7 Days of the Wolves being highlights for me so far, although others may grow on me
There also seems to be a lot of leanings towards ambient sound and background atmosphere to lend 'airs' to songs on this album.
Anyone else heard the promo album, and looking forward to/got an opinion on it?
Please note, I am not saying anyone should go and download this promo album, and not buy the actual release if they like it, if nothing else, the actual release will be worth it for not having the promo voice interludes in songs!
