September 20 street date. Formed in 1996 and working with Nuclear Blast since the release of their highly lauded 2004 album "Once", Nightwish have gained international fame and success selling more than ten million records and receiving more than 60 gold and platinum awards, with seven No #1 albums and thirteen No #1 singles to date. Nightwish are one of the most fascinating rock bands of the last decades, whose enigmatic paths have proceeded from acoustic passages to symphonic heavy metal and from catchy folk to progressive majesty. If there is one trait the band has year after year, it might be this: expect something familiar but also expect the unexpected. "Yesterwynde", the band's tenth album overall, is no exception to the rule. The gravid ingredients of the songs are easily recognizable, but beneath the surface lies a large number of intriguing details and features. The lyrics of "Yesterwynde" deal with large-sized universal themes: memories, mortality, humanism, time and much more. The new album is the conclusion of the trilogy - textually it follows in the footsteps of it's predecessors "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" and "Human. : II: Nature" - while at the same time, "Yesterwynde" is the band's most lyrically driven album.
