NIGHTWISH - Anette Olzon Answers Fan Questions; Comments On Band's Upcoming Album

NIGHTWISH hit the studio in late October to record the follow-up to 2007's Dark Passion Play album.

Vocalist Anette Olzon has issued the following blog update:

"I thought I'd start the day with answering some more questions:

Q: What are your impressions about the incoming CD? Do you like it best to DPP?

A: "I think it's a great and varied CD. The feeling in it are great and there are a lot of elements in it so I am sure it will have many different favourite songs for the listeners since the songs are so different in styles and sound. DPP is a great album and this one too, so I dont know yet which one I like more, but of course for me personally, this one feels better to do since the songs are more adjusted to my voice and my style."

Q: What is your favourite outfit you wore?

A: "There have been so many I love but one of my favourite ones are the white dress from the last Paris gig from Designers remix collection. It's pure and beautiful."

Q: What was the best gig you did? In which country?

A: "It's a hard questions cause there has been many gigs that have been feeling really good on tour. To name some: the last show in Hartwall, the last gig in London, the gig in Savonlinna, Metaltown in Sweden and the very first show in Copenhagen because all my family and loved friends were there."

Q: What would be the perfect present for you for Christmas?

A: "Peace in life and lots of love from the ones I love."

Q: What are your favourite movies/series?

A: "I love vampire movies and series so Vampire Diaries and True Blood are great. I like to laugh so Two And A Half Men are super! Desperate Housewives, House and Top Model are also favourites."

Q: Few days ago i found a photo on the internet of you with TARJA TURUNEN: have you ever met her or this photo is a false one?

A: No, I have never met her so any kinda photos are fake."

According to a recent update from Nightwish drummer Jukka Nevalainen, the songs on the new album "have again a massive variety and mood changes from lunatic circus to a hazy jazz club."

Dark Passion Play has sold over two million copies since its release, being Nightwish's most successful album to date. The album topped the charts in no less than six countries.
