The long awaited new album from Nightwish is close and the single Nemo is here to give just a small taste of what the Finnish band has prepared.
From the first few notes, Nemo gets instantly hooked in your mind. Unlike most power metal bands, Nightwish manage to remain fresh and take a step further with each new album. This will probably be the most complete Nightwish album released so far and this single is only but a taste.
The Session Orchestra & Choir from London gives a unique feeling to the album. Keyboard compositions might have been good for the previous albums, but nothing can replace real instruments and this shows especially in Planet Hell, the hair raising experience of the orchestral version of Nemo and the overall feeling from the enchanting White Night Fantasy.
Tarja sounds amazing, even when using her normal vocals. Tuomas has done an amazing job and once again he has excelled himself.
There will actually be 4 versions of this single. This one is the normal one, including studio footage available to PC users.
There will be a Collector's Edition Digipack, a DVD version which -amongst other goodies- includes 5.1 mixes of Nemo and Planet Hell and a limited Mini-LP version. You can check all the details here.
