Nightwish's Dark Passion Play Saved Member's Mental Health
.
(Prog) Nightwish keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen says the Finnish band's 2007 album Dark Passion Play saved his mental health. The sixth studio effort saw the symphonic metal group working with new lead singer Anette Olzon following the dismissal of original vocalist Tara Turunen in 2005. As 10-months of production costs skyrocketed past �800,000 - including a pricey eight-day session at Abbey Road studios in London - the band remained confident in the music while harbouring some concerns over fan reaction to the lineup change and new musical directions that included ballads. Holopainen exclusivey tells Metal Hammer: "I'm still really, really proud of the results. The whole band was very inspired and we were all really confident about the material. The Poet And The Pendulum, Bye Bye Beautiful and Master Passion Greed were all borne out of the turmoil we'd gone through. "It would be an exaggeration to say Dark Passion Play saved my life, but it definitely saved my mental health." Read more here. Prog Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com. |
