TARJA AND MARCO REUNITED FOR 'RASKASTA JOULUA'


Fresh from the announcement of her Christmas album From Spirits And Ghosts, Tarja Turunen is going to be spreading more cheer by joining the Finnish Raskasta Joulua (Heavy Christmas) tour. The yearly metal tour already has a stellar line-up including Tony Kakko, Elize Ryd and Tarja's former Nightwish bandmate Marco Hietala.  Both have commented that they are happy to put the past behind them and share a stage once more.

There are 25 dates in total with Tarja joining for the last 4. All dates and ticket links can be found here. She has further solo Christmas concerts announced for the Czech Republic and Ukraine.

VIDEO: MY INDIGO - MY INDIGO


Last week we learnt about Sharon Den Adel's new solo project, My Indigo. Written while dealing with personal struggles before working on the next Within Temptation album, the music is fairly pop but with a unique Sharon twist (particularly where her beautiful voice and lyrics are concerned). A lyric video has been released for the self-titled debut single - there isn't much in the way of visuals here, but it's a good way to learn the lyrics.

Check out the video in the player below.

Aww I'm so happy for Floor Jansen and Hannes Van Dahl! :) They always seem so happy together. Also I'm really excited about the new Sharon project. She does a good job with pop music.

 

Oh wow, so happy to hear that Marco and Tarja are willing to reconcile :) That's so lovely to hear. I still need to check out the Dark Element...

 

@Critica agreed! <3

@S.E Berrow yeah it's nice! I'm mixed on The Dark Element but I have really enjoyed some of the songs.
