Nightwish filmed the first video from their upcoming album this past week. Jansen remarked: "Oh yeah this will become something special!

The yet-untitled creation will be the first Nightwish studio-record to feature Dutch vocalist Floor Jansen and is set for a release in spring 2015 via Nuclear Blast. Longtime drummer Jukka Nevalainen will sit out on the recording sessions due to health issues; Kai Hahto (Wintersun) will replace him.

Nightwish recently released their seventh album trailer. In this episode the band recaps the summer and recording main parts of the new album at their Nightwish summer camp. Check it out below:

Commented keyboard player and main songwriter Tuomas Holopainen: “We are actually ahead of our schedule. Incredibly, Floor has sung about two songs a day. Marco cut the final bass parts in 1.5 days and Emppu did the rhythm guitars in a week. I think it was because everything was so well-rehearsed this time. We’ve tried to work more like a band.”

Jansen added: “Tuomas challenged me, using everything I have to offer. High, low, soft, whatever, but definitely lower stuff and very soft and intimate things. Something that more by coincidence was something that I kind of missed doing. Something I haven’t explored much and Tuomas wrote parts where I have to use this completely, where I have to go into it entirely. I’m very happy with what came out there.”

Nightwish just recently revealed the famed evolutionary biologist and atheist writer/leader Richard Dawkins as a guest on their eighth studio album.
