My "evolution" on this went from not being sure about the mix, through comprehending why it was mixed that way, to hearing it in my head all day. I can't wait for the album!

Nightwish dont dissapoint "did you feel the ghost energy song" I listened to this song many many times by now, and it is one i like to listen to with my headphones or without, its really a good song, when i can do so to me. Some say Floors voice is low in the mix, and i can agree its hard to get all words she sing, but if you look at it soundwise it sounds amazing!! and after a listen or 2, you know most of lyrics, and its no problem at all, its done fully on purpose for the sound experince of it, and Floor being part of the ancestor choir.. cant wait for rest of album!! Yesterwynde is the opening track on new album, i belive its only like a intro, its a little over 2 min long, #2 on album then is a almost 10 min song, thats proberly another epic!! #3 is where i think they bring in a heavy track, and this Perfume of the timeless is #5.. so i think its gonna be a good mix of heavy songs, Epics, and maybe a full balled.. Perfume of the timeless, well its almonst a ghost energy song right, telling all these ancestors is around in a timeless world, being around you still, and yourvthe perfume, also a message that your existens matters!! i feel tuomas also put in a little message that mankind could do better still, Einstein turn to ape.. The title of the album is a word made by band member Troy Donockley, which Holopainen describes as the feeling of time, history, memory, and being connected to past generation, who have "all had their lives, their ups and downs, and they don't exist anymore, except as atoms scattered all over the universe. And we're going to be in that state pretty soon as well. So that should give you something to think about." Holopainen has described the album as being about humanism, history, and the inspiration thereof, and that outlook of the album is positive and optimistic ] Track listing Yesterwynde: release date 20th September 2024 All tracks are written by Tuomas Holopainen.

Glad you got to this so soon, Brian. This song has been stuck in my head since the day it came out. The layers in the soundscape are superb. You're spot on about Kai, he is a masterful drummer. If you really want to see what he can do, there is a wonderful video of him doing a play through of "Sons of Winter & Stars" (a Wintersun song) at a drum clinic. Watching him play that is phenomenal.

Nice reaction. I’m with you. I wish they would let Emppu cut loose every now and then like we know he can. Hopefully he gets his time to shine on the new album.

We would love to have a live for this too, but it won't happen anytime soon. They have said they won't tour this album, taking a break. Rumors say 2026 before we see them on the road. Kai Hahto is the drummer on this, he has been with them since 2014 when Jukka Nevalainen stepped aside. The newest member, recording on his first NW album, is bassist Jukka Koskinen. Male vocals here is Troy Donockley. The Yesterwynde album is the 3rd in a trilogy of albums, along with Endless Forms Most Beautiful and Human:II:Nature, all with themes of science , life, nature, evolution, etc. Perfume of the Timeless is the first single from that, with 2 or 3 more videos , I think, to be put out before the album drops Sep 20.

Nightwish is influenced by Irish folk, not the Middle Ages. Irish folk comes from the 18th century, so directly after the Middle Ages. This is more Middle Ages: FAUN - Federkleid (Official Video) Nightwish is more of a "symphonic band" than a rock band. Empuu sometimes falls behind. Drummer Jukka dropped out in 2014 during the recording of the first album with Floor. Originally it was assumed that it was a temporary dropout and then an anniversary album came along. That's why Kai won't become an official member until 2019, even though he'd already been working with the band for 5 years. An interview should be possible. Floor and Marko are solo and need advertising for these projects. I've seen current interviews from Tuomas about the album: Nightiwsh 2024: Tuomas Holopainen about the new album "Yesterwynde" @ROCKANTENNE

The image of the person diving from the tree .passing the picture of floor into the book, is a image of floor

🤗🍒🤘🏻Still well done

Loving your channel.most rock music is based on classical music,the kinks .leg Zep ,deep purple black Sabbath 😊😊

Love it.

Thanks ❤

It will be awhile for any live reactions to any song on this new album. They have already stated that they will not tour for this record as they have put off touring for an undetermined amount of time. This was Kia on drums. Also most of the time its not Emppu that is not soloing. Tuomas rights the songs and if he does not put a solo in the song then there is no solo to play.

Kai Hahto🥁👍

Go to run too!

I was a NW fan since "Angels Fall First" and "Oceanborn" came out. After Tarja left, it seems like Tuomas went in a different direction with the song writing. This new song is a prime example. It's more of a "movie soundtrack thing", than a "metal song". This song is 8 and a half minutes, and not a single guitar solo. This song should have at least 3 guitar / keyboard solos in it. Maybe Emppu is getting lazy in his old age, who knows. If Tuomas fancies himself as the next Howard Shore... then so be it. For me, the video is more interesting than the song itself. Thought provoking imagery.
