Finland's Chaoszine recently caught up with Nightwish keyboardist / mastermind, Tuomas Holopainen, to discuss the band's forthcoming album, Yesterwynde. Check out the interview below.

Holopainen: "Part of the musical experience is that you build your own story around the things that you hear. It's really important that we (the band) don't reveal too much, but what I can say is that it is a concept album, its themes being time, memories and mortality. All of these songs are related to these topics one way or another."

Following the album announcement of Nightwish's tenth studio album, Yesterwynde, the Finnish symphonic metal legends share another teaser with their fans: "The Day Of..." is another breathtaking output from the band, showcasing a wide range of the band's vast skillset.

Tuomas Holopainen states about "The Day Of...": "'The Day Of...' delivers a message of hope and deliverance from the deluge of fear and misery we are subjected to on a daily basis. And even though it's a long road to a dreamworld, there are no monsters under the bed; as the children in the song joyously remind us."

"The Day Of..." comes with a beautiful music video that can be viewed below. Stream the single here here.
