Fugazi Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 The Charismatic Voice has a podcast with Anette and Russell Allen (of Allen/Olzon). The take-home message from this interview is that Anette and Russell have never met and never even spoke to each other before this interview. 🤔 They made two joint albums without ever communicating directly, which goes to show that technology is a double-edged sword.

Fugazi Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Anette is working on a third solo album, but she was also featured on the latest single of this young Italian metal band called False Memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondance Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Anette's work with The Dark Element is fantastic, and I own both of those albums. I honestly wish I could see Anette in concert again, as I did back in September 2012, but the chances of that happening are extremely low.

Fugazi Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 I had to check setlist.fm to see that Anette did tour since leaving Nightwish, with her solo material in 2014-15 and with The Dark Element in 2018, mostly in Europe and Japan. I agree that chances of her singing in North America again are slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Anette has released a second single, 'Day Of Wrath'. “I am so happy to release my second single from the upcoming album Rapture. – reveals Anette. “My new song Day of wrath is the story from the humans perspective who now has awaken and understands the disaster we have done to the world but begs for forgiveness. Despite all the signs we’ve seen, no significant changes have been done to stop it and now the apocalypse is closing in on us”. Personally I like the first single better, this one is not as catchy as 'Heed The Call' and I don't think the growls work that well. While after hearing the first single I thought the religious theme was tongue-in-cheek, with this second single it looks to me that Anette has gone full Christian metal. There's no real second degree in the lyrics, it's a plain 'repent or be doomed' message and I don't remember religion was very present in Anette's previous work. 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
