NW-band camp going on. Playing, rehearsing, recording, swimming, celebrating, enjoying the Finnish summer and Troy's magical tricks. Jukka was on duty so missing from the photo. I could have played all the drum parts but they didn't ask.

Nightwish is rehearsing and recording their upcoming new album in the backwoods of Kitee. In September 19th - 21st they gave few people a change to hear the new songs and we had a really nice party together as well.

Now after hearing every masterpiece of up-coming Nightwish album I can only tell you all… It's going to be heavy. After Imaginaerum I was sceptic and thinking there is no new direction to go anymore, but so wrong I was!!! This new album will blow your minds!

Still some Nightwish recordings to do before mixing. Now in Petrax Studio, Hollola, Finland. I also hang around this weekend there enjoying the company, Troy's magic and fantastic food and hospitality of the owners, Rappula family.

"We have always produced the albums ourselves as a band, and we have had the same engineers since we started out for recording, mixing and mastering. The guy who's mixing our albums is a sworn Genelec user, as is our mastering engineer." - Marco Hietala, Nightwish - after 8 millions of sold records.

Over half way of Nightwish mastering. Instrumental and Orchestral versions are ready, The album itself is still under work here. In weekend after this week's hard work we are having a last check and final listening with artist, producer and mixing engineer. And I'm preparing myself to start all over again from the beginning in next week 'cause they sure will, like always, find something to improve. smile emoticon

Already on my way to North Karelia and Joensuu. Tomorrow I will check Nightwish rehearsals on the main stage, maybe have a cup or two with the boys and the lady and then on Saturday the first Nightwish show of the European tour 2015. Also my mates from Children Of Bodom and Sonata Arctica will be there so it's going to be a kick ass party. Photos coming later so stay tuned here!
