The keyboardist and leader of Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainenwhose progress towards the publication of his new album, ‘Yesterwynde’they have all their followers looking forward to the arrival September 20 For its release, he has chosen as his favorite rock and metal song of all time one of the great classics of Metallicaa band that claims to be key to Nightwish currently being among the top metal bands in the world.
As he declared to the Germans Rock Antennathe album ‘…And Justice For All’ contains Tuomas Holopainen’s favorite metal track of all time: ““One”, by Metallica, is a brilliant composition, lyric, and music video. And that was around the time I discovered metal music, so it brings back a lot of memories. I went to see Metallica and Guns N’ Roses to Kansas City in September 1992, and “One” was the last song they played before the encore. “It completely blew my mind.”
Tuomas remembers that his first encounter with one of the black riders was not as he would have hoped: “I don’t think we would be where we are right now without Metallica. About a year ago, we were playing a festival in… I think it was Belgium. After the last song, I walked off stage and there it was. James Hetfield giving me a pat on the back. All I could say was, “Fuck.” Never meet your heroes. “That’s what they say.”
Some time ago, the keyboardist already pointed out Metallica and another of their classic albums as the one that changed his life. As published Louder In 2020, the “black album” was that album: “It was the first metal album I bought. I had a kind of late discovery of metal. I was 15 years old and I spent a year on exchange in Kansas. There I saw Metallica and Guns N’ Roses and that was the turning point. I didn’t have “I really wanted to go to that concert, because I had a lot of prejudices towards those bands, but that night changed my vision of music. I instantly became a fan of Metallica and metal.”
Back to the present, “Perfume of the Timeless” It has been the first single to advance the release of the album ‘Yesterwynde’which will come through Nuclear Blast on September 20.
