10 Things About Yesterwynde
I know... it's been a while - but we have a new Nightwish album to get hyped up for! Here are 10 things we know about the upcoming record Yesterwynde - single speculation, analysing the cover and pulling together what the band have told us already about their 10th studio record . Oh and apols for the occasional audio popping, I didn't have my mic with me to record this time and was too excited to wait to talk Nightwish!

Episode 62 – Passion and the Opera (featuring Ambre Vourvahis from Xandria)
In our second episode, we're chatting to Xandria vocalist and Nightwish superfan Ambre Vourvahis! It's also a good time to share my experience seeing Tarja live as we discuss the difficult Oceanborn sessions and ponder whether it's odd for her to still be performing Nightwish songs in her solo sets.

Episode 60 – Dead Boy’s Poem
Who's there knocking at my window with that owl? Phew! Sorry for the delay, hopefully this episode's epic tune (and thematic staple) makes up for it. We'll be flitting through the entire catalogue for references to the titular Dead Boy and maybe even get a nice silver lining to end our season on. Dead boy's alive, y'all!
