Finland-based symphonic metal storytellers NIGHTWISH have just released their fifth "Making Of" trailer for their as-yet-untitled eighth studio album featuring new Dutch vocalist Floor Jansen.

“I am very sensitive for environment," confesses NIGHTWISH’s new Dutch vocalist Floor Jansen. "Don’t put me in the middle of the city in a super-shiny fantastic studio and keep me inspired for weeks. A place like this does. I love nature and I love calm. We can work for hours and then you can relax, truly relax. That I think is super important to keep the vibe going.”
“It’s hard to describe what it’s like - the peace, the stillness, the geology, the biology of the place,”adds Troy Donockley, the man behind NIGHTWISH’s pipes, flutes, and whistles. “The place is just teeming, swirling with life... and there’s a glorious lake. It’s wonderous.”
NIGHTWISH members are in the wilderness of Hattula, Finland working on new song demos with producer Tero “TeeCee” Kinnumen. Previous album trailers include:
