While waiting for the release of “The Shadow Self”, Tarja has yet another surprise for her fans: Turunen and earMUSIC have announced the release of the new album’s prequel, “The Brightest Void”. With over 50 minutes of new music, the extra album will sweeten the wait until August.

“The Brightest Void” was released on June 3 via earMUSIC as a CD digipak, LP+download code and as a digital download.

“The Brightest Void” features not one but three incredible guest artists: fellow Finnish star Michael Monroe, icon of the glam rock scene and former frontman of inspiring band HANOI ROCKS; Chad Smith (who doesn’t need any further introduction) and a new mix of WITHIN TEMPTATION‘s collaboration “Paradise (What About Us)”, carried out with Tarja and world-renowned sound engineer and producer Tim Palmer. The prequel presents Tarja‘s new single, “No Bitter End”, as the album opener and furthermore shakes you with an incredible cover of Sir Paul McCartney‘s overlooked gem “House Of Wax” and adds a new twist to Dame Shirley Bassey‘s James Bond theme “Goldfinger”.
