Finnish / Dutch / British troupe NIightwish – 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. Nightwish has indeed broken all kinds of boundaries – never deliberately, but perfectly naturally. Now guess what? Nightwish’s new studio album “Yesterwynde” – the band’s tenth overall – is no exception to the rule. But it is more…There’s a fascinating, but inexplicable feeling that Nightwish has once again been able to find unprecedented nuances, spices and perspectives in their new works – exactly: after a career of nine classic albums.
