“Songs The Night Sings” takes off where the self-titled debut left off,
with immaculate vocals from Anette and fabulous anthems written by Jani.
"It’s a thrill that we’re releasing yet another album and for me it’s been
even easier to record this one since me and Jani now know each other really
well. For me, this album is bigger and better and I believe the ones who liked
the first one will really like this one too. All I can say is that I already
long to do another album. Hep hep!" says Anette.
Jani adds, "I think the album is very heavy, but still hyper melodic, and
this time we are even exploring new musical territories we didn't on the
previous album. Now that me and Anette have one album together under our belts,
we have found the style we want to pursue and also the ideal way of working
together. Given all this, I think it's safe to say that with this album you'll
get even more of what made the first album so good, only it's gonna be bigger,
better and bolder!"
THE DARK ELEMENT made their live debut in June 2018 at the Sweden Rock
Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden. They also completed a short Japanese tour and
performed at the Frontiers Rock Sweden festival in October at Fryshuset Klubben
in Stockholm. More tour dates are planned for this upcoming album, so expect to
see the band on stage again soon.
Since word of this project initially got out, fans were frothing at the
mouth with anticipation for its arrival. And no wonder considering the talent
involved! Anette is widely known for being the fabulous voice on the hit albums
from Nightwish, “Dark Passion Play” and “Imaginareum”. Jani has recently been
busy in Insomnium as well as Cain's Offering alongside Stratovarius singer Timo
Kotipelto, but left a deep mark on the minds of all Power Metal fans thanks to
his time in Sonata Arctica.
The resulting debut album released in November 2017 took no time to prove
that the resume of the individuals involved did indeed add up to the musical
output.
