This was a good interview read with Tuomas

It was indeed! it makes me optimistic for the album.

Thinkiing waaaaaaaay ahead, unless something dramatic happens and the band does not retire for good, when they will come back, will they do another album or they will do a "we missed you guys" kind of tour? playing, let's say, only in 2027 songs that were released in 2024? what I mean, will we get a "Winterwynde tour" three or four years belated, a greatest hits tour, or a tour for album 11? well, let's start to enjoy this album for now

New song is out:

Sounds kind of like NW of the last two albums to me, very familiar sound and style.  Good song after one listen.

Song was fine. Like you said, same as last two albums, which doesn't do much for me.

But that video....eesh. That's a rough video.

Song is quite cool, I'm confident for the album.

The video is only going to be a "problem" until the album will be out, then, who's even gonna watch it anyway?

It sounds exactly how the current Nightwish lineup would sound.

I love them utilizing Floors operatic vocals more and the orchestration. Reminds me of a blend of Pendulum and The Poet, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, and Procession.

Yeah, I can see that.

Music video is amazing by the way

I was thinking it was my work laptop, but seems a lot of people are saying what I felt... the mix sucks.  Floor is too low.

She is not. The main focus is the music and how her vocals mix with it. That's the entire premise of Music and Noise.

Sometimes vocals need to be mixed lower than the music in order to bring out the presentation and purpose of the art.

Okay, so it wasn't just me.

The mix sounds fine to me, listened through my Bose Atmos bar and it was fantastic.
Best thing for me is how good everything sounds, even the drums have a nice punch.
For me this is NW best lead off single since Nemo.

Listening on my work headphones and it's much better, but Floor is still too low in the mix IMO.  She's just too good and powerful to not be a bit louder. Orchestration is louder than her.
