TARJA TURUNEN Checks In From The Studio

08.02.2010

TARJA TURUNEN (ex-NIGHTWISH) has issued the following new blog entry from the studio:

"We are working very hard to get the songs in a shape where everybody feels good and comfortable. Mike (Terrana; drums) did again amazing job today. He recorded few more songs and we are well in schedule.

Among those songs was 'In For A Kill' that I have performed last year a couple of times with an orchestra. Now it turned to be really cool with the drums and the reference guitars from Alex. Is already very promising.

It was a surprise for everybody in the studio the cover song recorded today. We managed to refresh a great song from the '80’s. Is a bit sad that songs like this one nobody writes any more.

According to Mike; he played today the longest drum fill he had recorded in nearly 100 albums!!

We had fun with his performances and sometimes it felt that he did more than what he expected himself to do! So it made him very happy.

It was a tough day for all of us, but very rewarding."

Tarja Turnen is detailing work on her new album, What Lies Beneath, on her official blog at Tarja-whatliesbeneath.com.

  1. So.. there's a cover. I wonder whose it will be.

    In for a Kill is a very good song. I think it will sound great with guitars.

  2. Great!!!!!! Mike + Tarja = EPIC PERFECTION

    So she'll make a cover...which one will be this time?
    I remember than on My Winter Storm booklet, she said that for her next album, she'll make a cover of a song called "The Rock", but maybe she was just kidding, we'll have to wait to see.
    I hope she'll make a Metallica cover, I always wanted her to make a cover of them.

  4. awesomeeee!!! i love In For A Kill..I am really looking forward to listen the cover too...

    here are parts of another blog post by Tarja:
    "We are planning some crazy stuff for the next ?world? tour. It?s just so fantastic to be able to decide myself the stage set up, the design of it and plan all the matters of the touring after all.

    We need to start things already now, very early in advance, so that we are not running late when we need to hit the road with the new album.

    Today was a magnificent day. Mike finished 3 songs and he is laying down damn good material.

    ?LL?, ?DS? very heavy songs and ?U? a beautiful ballad. You didn?t think I was giving you all the song names right away, did you?
    My friends from Same-Eyes Film Company are around too, shooting the whole production so that one day you?ll all see what we have been up to. Is nice to have things filmed so that we can remember everything afterwards."

    i can't wait to hear the album!

  6. Another cover? Oh my :-/
    I don't really want one. I didn't even think Poison was *that* bad, though I don't really like the song all the way, but it completely didn't fit in. I mean, My Winter Storm created a beautifully melancholic and dark atmosphere, and then suddenly this catchy "I wanna love you but I better not touch" stuff destroyed it. It's not only the song, though; I really like Nighwish's Over the hills and far away cover, but I wouldn't have wanted it there, too...
    Well, we'll see. Maybe I'll like it better this time, who knows.

    But it's amazing that In for a kill is going to be on the album!Love that song :D

  9. Go Tarja, go!! xD
    Hmm, 80's song? Hope she has done a metal version for a song by Tears For Fears or Depeche Mode for instance..;D

  10. 80's song cover again?
    Please don't. I can hardly enjoy Poison anymore, not to mention Smells like teen spirit.
