Once again, the Finns have outdone themselves: "HUMAN. II: NATURE." is a musical bag of magic, which is filled with unexpected twists and turns stylistically ranging from rock to metal, from folk rock to the neo-classical – yet every second sounds 100% Nightwish.

Imagine the cave where music was born. In the introduction to their 9th studio album "HUMAN.

In the course of the millennia, this amazing cultural achievement evolved via Bach and Beethoven into blues, rock and heavy metal – a mental journey that the Finns trace in their upcoming full-length’s first song, ‘Music’. This opening track features all the elements that Nightwish have fused into their own unmistakable sound ever since the band came to life in the small Karelian town of Kitee in 1996. Making the most of the two excellent male voices of Marko and Troy, Tuomas has gifted each with a tailor-made song
