Our Take

Finnish symphonic metal veterans Nightwish have always been a band that defies categorisation, blending elements of metal, opera, and folk music into a bombastic and theatrical sound. Their latest offering, "Yesterwynde", is no exception to this rule.

From the moment the album kicks off with the epic opening track "Lord of the Rings", the listener is catapulted into a world of fantastical imagery and powerful melodies. Lead vocalist Floor Jansen's vocals soar effortlessly over complex orchestral arrangements, paving the way for a truly immersive listening experience.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Mermaid Lagoon", a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases the band's knack for storytelling and emotional depth. With lyrics that transport you to a mythical underwater realm, this track is a true highlight that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the listener.

However, not every track on "Yesterwynde" is a winner. The band's attempt at a more pop-oriented sound on tracks like "Electric Dreams" and "Neon Nights" fall flat, feeling out of place amongst the grandeur of the rest of the album.

In the end, "Yesterwynde" is a strong addition to Nightwish's discography, showcasing the band's versatility and ambition. While it may not be their strongest effort to date, it still offers enough moments of brilliance to please die-hard fans and newcomers alike. So grab your swords and shields, and prepare to embark on a musical journey like no other with Nightwish's "Yesterwynde".
