Tarja, the legendary Finnish vocalist and former centerpiece of symphonic power metallers Nightwish, released her new album “Frisson Noir” on June 12 via earMUSIC.
Below you’ll find another single and video from the album, this time for the track Tango, where Apocaylptica join Tarja as special guests!
By Tarja’s own account, this is the most metal-fuelled, spiked-up record of her entire career. After years of exploring all kinds of musical genres, Tarja is heading right back to where she belongs. Metal.
“Frisson Noir” reflects Tarja’s constant dialogue between cinematic orchestration, classical training and the intensity of modern metal. The album moves between intimate piano passages, dramatic orchestral textures and wound-up, guitar-fueled moments.
The album has ten tracks and a lineup of special guests! They are: Dani Filth (Cradle Of Filth), Apocalyptica, Marko Hietala (former Nightwish member) and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). The album was mixed by Grammy-winning producer Neal Avron (Linkin Park, Skillet, Disturbed).
“Frisson Noir” is already available to order.
As part of her new European tour next year, Tarja will also stop in Ljubljana at Cvetličarna on May 3, 2026 – “info and tickets”!
