Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish) Frisson Noir

Tarja’s metal album *Frisson Noir*, set for release in 2026, is a powerful statement about identity, strength, and belonging. After years of exploring different musical worlds, Tarja is now exactly where she belongs: in metal. The album showcases Tarja’s unique blend of epic orchestral arrangements, classical elements, and modern metal. Across ten tracks, Tarja unfolds a wide spectrum of emotions, brimming with energy, passion, and strength. She is supported by top-tier guests such as Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth), Apocalyptica, Marko Hietala (ex-Nightwish), and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). The album was mixed by GRAMMY-winning producer Neal Avron (Linkin Park, Skillet, Disturbed), who combines the modern, powerful sound with the dramatic and emotional elements that define Tarja’s distinctive style. The CD digipack includes a 28-page booklet featuring illustrations, photos, and all song lyrics. The first edition is finished with high-quality copper foil and embossing.
