Nightwish drops new single

With „The Day Of…“, Nightwish is back. The single is another harbinger of their tenth studio album „Yesterwynde“, which will be released on September 20th. The song carries a hopeful message.

Tuomas Holopainen, the band's creative head, describes "The Day Of..." as a song that gives hope in the midst of daily chaos. "It's a long way to a dream world, but there are no monsters under the bed, as the children in the song cheerfully remind us," explains Holopainen.

Nightwish are breaking new musical ground with this song. The number, which borrows from the world of synthpop and other genres, sounds different from other Nightwish songs - and yet is still very familiar. Fans of the symphonic metal veterans will still need several attempts to "warm up" to it. But it's best to make up your own mind:

The single is accompanied by a music video that perfectly captures the atmosphere of the song. Curious fans can listen to the song on all major streaming platforms and enjoy the video on YouTube.
