Anette Olzon - 'Day of Wrath' (official visualizer)

Father here my prayer
You know I have failed
Forgive all my wrongs
I´ll redeem myself
This world oh so shallow
I know I failed
I´ve strayed
I´ve lost my way
To late to repent
Can I redeem me
Forgive the wrongs I´ve done I know
I can change be a better one
The trumpets sound all over us
And yet you defy
The world we know doomed for the sins we´ve done
No prayers will save you now
The day of wrath has come who´ll stand
All will be cleansed
Cry aloud make us repent or all end
Heaven or hell
Can´t tell what´s right from wrong
Be sure I will show you
Not sure I can change it
Forgive the wrongs I´ve done I know
I can change be a better one
The trumpets sound all over us
And yet you defy
The world we know doomed for the sins we´ve done
No prayers will save you now
The day of wrath has come who´ll stand
All will be cleansed
Cry aloud make us repent or all end
Blow the horn let it rain
Save your pennies for the river Styx
Sound the horn cleansed by flames
Rejoice the apocalypse
If all should end
What use was then
To make me live
Use all I could

In need of more
For every day
Resources pour
Nature loose more
All will soon end
The trumpets sound all over us
And yet you defy
The world we know doomed for the sins we´ve done
No prayers will save you now
The day of wrath has come who´ll stand
All will be cleansed
Cry aloud make us repent or all end

Η Anette Olzon Blyckert ουσιαστικά 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) και εν συνεχεία αντικαταστάθηκε από την Floor Jansen.

Έκτοτε συμμετέχει σε μπάντες / projects όπως οι The Dark Element, οι Allen / Olzon, οι Alyson Avenue (το συγκρότημα που είχε πριν τους Nightwish και επανασυνδέθηκε το 2015), ενώ τραγουδά και στο Ιαπωνικό συγκρότημα Ultima Grace.

Παράλληλα "τρέχει" και την προσωπική της καριέρα. Προ δεκαετίας (2014) κυκλοφόρησε το πρώτο της solo album ("Shine"). Επτά χρόνια αργότερα "βγήκε" ο διάδοχός του υπό τον τίτλο "Strong", με το τρίτο full length album να βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Day of Wrath" και αναμένεται τον τελευταίο φθινοπωρινό μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Former Nightwish vocalist Anette Olzon (also partner of Jani Liimatainen in The Dark Element) is set to release her third solo album entitled “Rapture”.

Similarly to Anette's second solo album “Strong,” the new release explores a much heavier and faster musical offering compared to her debut and once again stakes a claim for Anette’s well-deserved standing as one of the world's top female metal vocalists!

Once again the music for "Rapture" was written and composed together with acclaimed Swedish guitarist and producer Magnus Karlsson.

Together, Anette and Magnus managed to create an outstanding collection of songs, which showcase Anette’s enormous vocal range alongside Karlsson’s incendiary riffs. The growls, performed by Johan Husgafvel add some wonderful flavor to the sound, teased at first before taking their own spot in the limelight.

Musically while we are in a territory encompassing various genres from the symphonic to the melodic power metal and a dash of melo-death, the songs remain catchy and boldly melodic.

Coupled with Olzon's best and most versatile vocal display to date, “Rapture” is an album that masters the borders between heaviness and hookiness, all while showing an artist who doesn't rest on her laurels, but heads boldly into the future.

Like every winning team that does not change, "Rapture" is once again mixed by Jacob Hansen (Pretty Maids, Volbeat, The Dark Element etc).»
