Former NIGHTWISH vocalist Tarja Turunen just released “Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church” on August 11, 2023 yesterday via earMUSIC, this album is a document of a very special concert in the beautiful setting at Wacken Church and the first release in a live series “Rocking Heels” and will be available on limited edition 2LP Vinyl, Digipak CD in LP-replica and Digital designs.
The video for SLIPKNOT‘s cover song entitled “Vermilion, Pt.2” can be viewed via the YouTube link at the end of this article.
In front of just 300 handpicked fans, this onetime-only event opened the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2016. Tarja presents unique arrangements of rock and heavy metal classics by her favourite artists including “Numb” by LINKIN PARK, IN FLAMES “Alias”, METALLICA’s “The Unforgiven”, songs by JOE SATRIANI and SLIPKNOT as well as a NIGHTWISH song and TARJA originals.
Tarja’s evocative voice, an intimate group of musicians and the sacred setting of Wacken Metal Church combine to transform this cover of IN FLAMES “Alias” into a hymn to our shared humanity and spirit, despite our differences and appearances.
