Tuomas Holopainen about the new album:
“Yesterwynde is finally here and ready to open its cabinet of stories, timelessness and hope for you dear listener. We are infinitely grateful that we get to share this ocean and all of its islands with you all.”
Tuomas on the video:
“‘Lanternlight’ was the first song written for the album and the natural finale of the Yesterwynde journey. A love song, reaching for the timeless; a music to immortalise the memories of those dearest to us.”
