Tarja Turunen's video for the song "I Walk Alone", can be viewed
below. The clip was shot in Berlin, Germany with director Jörn
Heitmann, who previously worked with NIGHTWISH on the "Sleeping
Sun" clip in 2005. The "I Walk Alone" single will be released
mid-October Universal Music, to be followed by a full-length CD,
"My Winter Storm", on November 9.
"My Winter Storm" is being produced by Daniel Presley (FAITH NO
MORE, JEWEL, THE BREEDERS), who has been joined in the studio by a
truly stellar line-up of musicians: Doug Wimbish on bass (LIVING
COLOUR, ANNIE LENNOX, JOE SATRIANI, JEFF BECK, MADONNA, ROLLING
STONES), Alex Scholpp on electric guitars (FARMER BOYS) and Earl
Harvin on drums (SEAL, PET SHOP BOYS, AIR), a player personally
selected by Tarja after she saw him stealing the show at a SEAL
concert. Keyboards and programming, meanwhile, are being provided
by Torsten Stenzel, whose previous credits include NELLY FURTADO,
MOBY, TINA TURNER, VANESSA MAE and more.
Released in 2004, the highly-acclaimed "Once" was Tarja's last
studio outing with NIGHTWISH an album that rose to the top of the
charts around the world, from Mexico through to the European
Billboard lists; the record picked up platinum awards in Germany
and Finland, and turned gold right across Scandinavia, as well as
in Brazil, Austria, Switzerland, Greece and Hungary.
