She is from Sweden, ages 35 and is most gorgeous. No, I’m not writing about a new girlfriend today, but about the new lead singer of the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. I wrote about rumours about the new lead singer before, but this time it is now rumour, but official. Anette Olzon is taking over Tarja Tutunen’s place. Read more about her at the official band home page. Now I’m really expectant about the new single, which will be out by tomorrow.

Nightwish has been searching for a new vocalist recently. Although the official announcement is not expected until May, there have been recent rumours that that the job will be taken by the Norwegian vocalist Vibeke Stene, who left her band Tristania a while ago. Gotta get hold of some Tristania records now

In 2005 the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish ended an era by abandoning their famous female lead singer Tarja Turunen. This year they will be back with a new singer. I found the following announcement on www.nightwish.com today:

The auditions for the new vocalist have ended, with more than 2000 demos sent to us. (yesterday, 15.1. we received 120 demos!) A big thanks to everybody! So please don`t send anymore demos, since now we need to concentrate on finishing the album recordings.

The new vocalist will be announced at the end of May, together with the release of a new single.
