April 30, 2010, 14 years ago
TARJA TURUNEN (ex-NIGHTWISH) checks in with the following "greetings from London":
"It has been wonderful in beautiful and sunny London these last two weeks. The weather has been just perfect, chilly at times, but full of light.When I landed at Heathrow, the airport got closed because of the volcano ashes from Iceland! I was very lucky to get here right in time. Actually the people at the studio were not expecting to see me any more when I arrived.
Now my songs are really starting to kick some a**!"
Read Tarja's complete update and check out more photos from the studio at this location.
Tarja has announced that the artwork for her forthcoming new album, What Lies Beneath, will be revealed next week via her official website.
Tarja recently finished recording What Lies Beneath, which is now being mixed at three different locations with three different engineers.
"The first stage will take us to London," says Turunen. "I am going to spend next couple of weeks mixing part of the album with Mr. Colin Richardson (MACHINE HEAD, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, SLIPKNOT) at Miloco Studios.
“We worked on 33 songs this time around from which I decided to record 17,” Tarja Turunen adds. “It has been great to have the freedom to produce my own record for the first time; these sessions have been such a gift, a real learning process and a true joy. In many ways, it feels like the first time…”The lead single from What Lies Beneath, title to be confirmed, is currently being discussed for an early August release, with the full album to follow later that month.
