The Dark Element - "The Pallbearer Walks Alone" (lyric video)
Η Anette Olzon Blyckert συστήθηκε στο heavy metal κοινό μέσω των Nightwish, στους οποίους διατέλεσε τραγουδίστρια. Η αντικαταστάτρια της Tarja Turunen έμεινε στην Φινλανδική μπάντα μία πενταετία (2007-2012) κι εν συνεχεία αντικαταστάθηκε από την Floor Jansen (τι δισκάρα το "Decipher" των After Forever!!!).
Προ τριετίας σχημάτισε, μαζί με τον κιθαρίστα - συνθέτη Jani Liimatainen, το συγκρότημα The Dark Element. Το ομώνυμο ντεμπούτο τους κυκλοφόρησε το φθινόπωρο του 2017. Ο διάδοχός του είναι είναι προ των πυλών. Τιτλοφορείται "Songs The Night Sings" κι αναμένεται τον Νοέμβριο...
Δελτίο τύπου: «The Dark Element is a musical project featuring vocalist Anette Olzon (ex-Nightwish) and Finnish guitarist and songwriter Jani Liimatainen (Insomnium, Cain's Offering). “Songs The Night Sings” takes off where the self-titled debut left off, with immaculate vocals from Anette and fabulous anthems written by Jani.
The Dark Element made their live debut in June 2018 at the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden. They also completed a short Japanese tour and performed at the Frontiers Rock Sweden festival in October at Fryshuset Klubben in Stockholm.
More tour dates are planned for this upcoming album, so expect to see the band on stage again soon. Since word of this project initially got out, fans were frothing at the mouth with anticipation for its arrival. And no wonder considering the talent involved!
Anette is widely known for being the immaculate voice on the hit albums from Nightwish, “Dark Passion Play” and “Imaginareum”. Jani has recently been busy in Insomnium as well as Cain's Offering alongside Stratovarius singer Timo Kotipelto, but left a deep mark on the minds of all power metal fans thanks to his time in Sonata Arctica.
The resulting debut album released in November 2017 took no time to prove that the resume of the individuals involved did indeed add up to the musical output.»
Anette Olzon: «It’s a thrill that we’re releasing yet another album and for me it’s been even easier to record this one since me and Jani now know each other really well. For me, this album is bigger and better and I believe the ones who liked the first one will really like this one too. All I can say is that I already long to do another album. Hep hep!»
Jani Liimatainen: «I think the album is very heavy, but still hyper melodic, and this time we are even exploring new musical territories we didn't on the previous album. Now that me and Anette have one album together under our belts, we have found the style we want to pursue and also the ideal way of working together. Given all this, I think it's safe to say that with this album you'll get even more of what made the first album so good, only it's gonna be bigger, better and bolder!»
