To have fun, indeed, seems to be the secret ingredient of the new album of Nigthwish…

After finishing the drum recordings, it’s time for the rhythm guitars. Emppu (Nigthwish guitarist) tells us how his work is progressing, and after completed everything he still needs to refine some parts and to have some distraction to  be able to do a better job …

…and the pike fishing seems to the best solution, as he caught a 5,14-kg pike… lol.

So he tells:

“Anyway, Tuomas and Mikko Karmila (Koo-Mikko the Comedian) were here a while ago (august). We messed around with the amps for a day, trying different sounds, and I’ve now completed about half of the rhythm tracks. It’s hard to say whether my job is 30% or 5% done, because if old signs hold true, the guitar parts just keep on increasing. Meaning that just when you’re about to pop open that bottle of champagne, you realize that, damn, this and that part still need something. In other words, having learnt something from previous sessions, I’ll keep the champagne on ice at least for another six months.”

Emppu also promises us that he will shoot some photos from the sessions … so we remain waiting for them.
