Regarding Track 10 - Hiraeth.....I am from Wales in the UK and Hiraeth is a Welsh word. In my language it means longing or yearning for something/someone that is lost to you. Often refers to a longing or homesickness for the Welsh homeland, and the past. It is both a beautiful and heart-breaking sentiment and always makes me nostalgic as a child of the late 70's/early 80's who grew up in Wales, a small country in the UK which was slow to catch up to the progression and modernisation of the wider world. We Welsh preferred to stay rooted in tradition and the old ways. Sad to say that we've now caught up with the rest of the Western world but I certainly have 'Hiraeth' for the old Wales. I absolutely cannot wait to hear this one!
The Antikythera mechanism is an Ancient Greek hand-powered orrery, described as the oldest known example of an analogue computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. From Wikipedia.
There was no replacement for Marko as singer on the last Trour, and that will be the case on this album too. Technically, Floor is so versatile that she doesn't need a male counterpart. She just can't sing duets alone. Tuomas has almost never based himself on myths or legends. He reads a lot of contemporary literature and gets his ideas from there.
@@AndrewMarloweTV That's why I limited it to the duets. Troy's voice is not flexible and he cannot replace Marko. Floor can replace Marko as far as solo parts are concerned. Now we will probably hear more growls from Floor in the new songs, which Marko would have done in the past.
Tuomas said himself: the time for singing bassplayer was amazing and it cant be done better so it wont be done again. Jukkis said that he would have "killed himself" rather than accepted a singing bassplayer job after Marko.

TROY would sung in Welsh on that track too with his indtrumentals Play.

Yea,so pride to live in Athens Greece
The last 2 album was great,was different but also beautiful
Floor hinted that its going to be heavier then the last
So did Kai🇬🇧
If I'm not mistaken, this album is the last of a trilogy. EFMB-HN-Yesterwynde.

Won't be the same without marco...Troy's voice doesn't carry the same weight unfortunately

I still find it unfortunate they didn't hire a stronger bass player replacement after marco left. There are plenty of bass players that can sing
@@AndrewMarloweTV The smartest thing would be a second extra male singer. If Marko returns, I would only let him play the bass in exceptional cases.

Dig the shirt!
Children of 'Ata is about the Tongan Castaways sort of an opposite Lord of the Flies but real life,
Really appreciate you all letting me in on the mythology behind the new album. It seems really fascinating
Andra Ariadna, is, to me, the best nightwish cover artiste. Now Tuomas follows HER with a track Hireath.
Hireath. ANDRA ARIANDA'S COMPOSITION. Tuomas follows Andra's lead.
