Former NIGHTWISH vocalist TARJA TURUNEN will release her new album, entitled Colours In The Dark, on August 23rd via earMUSIC.

Following up on the success of the multi-platinum and gold awarded previous records My Winterstorm (2007) and What Lies Beneath (2010), TARJA finally returns with her long-awaited new rock album.

Mixed and mastered by Tim Palmer in Austin, Texas (PEARL JAM, U2), the songs on Colours In The Dark do not shy away from taking a risk and surprising musical turns, introducing new sounds and new musical atmospheres.

Still, they maintain a heaviness that will surely bring a big smile to the hardest of rockers. With its grand orchestra and choir arrangements, TARJA’s next milestone emphasises once again the impressive vocal range of the Finnish artist and shows her artistic growth.

With ten brand new songs and over one hour of music, Colours In The Dark is definitely going to be one of the brightest moments for rock in 2013.
