In celebration of Nightwish’s new album Yesterwynde, we’ve teamed up with the symphonic metal megastars for a very special bundle you won’t find anywhere else.
Alongside the new issue of Metal Hammer magazine, which will come with an exclusive Floor Jansen cover you can’t get in shops, the bundle comes with an exclusive Yesterwynde-themed t-shirt design.
The t-shirt is also available to buy on its own. But, you can only order it and the bundle via the Metal Hammer webstore – so get yours now!
Inside the issue, we get the inside story of 10th Nightwish album Yesterwynde. Despite coming after a turbulent few years for the band, in which frontwoman Floor underwent treatment for cancer and band leader Tuomas Holopainen lost his father, it’s thematically upbeat.
“Yesterwynde has a very optimistic vibe to it,” Tuomas tells us. “It celebrates life and humanity and morality. The important things.”
The band once again rehearsed at a campsite in Kitee, Finland, although Floor stayed at home in Sweden and recorded her vocals there, following the birth of her second daughter.
“I was pregnant, and before that there was the cancer, and then I had my baby and I was just really, really fucking tired, so I wasn’t there like I had been in the past,” she says. “The connection to the album is much less than it was before, because we haven’t been spending as much crazy time together as we usually would. That doesn’t mean I don’t give a shit – quite the opposite – but I’m still growing into what it means, and what it means to me.”
Also in the magazine, there are new interviews with Mastodon, Anthrax, Monster Magnet, Graphic Nature, Kittie, Mushroomhead, Crypta, Mimi Barks, Zeal & Ardor and more. Tap or click the images below to head to the Metal Hammer store and get your Nightwish exclusives.
