Album name:Dark Passion Play
Dark Passion Play is the upcoming sixth studio album from Finnish symphonic power metal band
Nightwish. It is scheduled for release on September 26, 2007 through Spinefarm and on September 28,
2007 through Nuclear Blast and Roadrunner Records. It is band's sixth studio album and the first album to feature the band's new lead vocalist, Anette Olzon, and the first without former vocalist Tarja
Turunen, due to her departure in October 2005. Dark Passion Play will be the band's first studio album
in three years, the longest non-album gap in their history.
It reportedly cost over 500,000 to create ─ twice the cost of 'Once' ─ making it the most expensive
Finnish album ever recorded. Most of this money was spent at Abbey Road Studios with the London
Session Orchestra, and an extra 270,000 was spent recording the videos.
The band is cooperating with the London Session Orchestra and Metro Voices Choir, as they did for
Once. They are also working with several guest musicians─band founder, keyboardist and main
songwriter, Tuomas Holopainen, commented that people might be wondering what's going on with all
the musicians running to and from the recording building in London.
