Once again, Tarja is bringing the festive season early with the reissue of her highly acclaimedChristmas album “From Spirits and Ghosts (Score for a dark Christmas)” on November 6.

Get ready for an extra dark Christmas this year!

Once more Tarja brings the Christmas songs to a never before seen level, uniquely blending her classically trained voice with darker gothic influences.

Utilizing the sound of a grand orchestra, the most successful Finnish solo artist puts a sinister spin on traditional songs.

Additional to the 12 Christmas carols from the2017 edition, the reissue includes 3 versions in alternative languages plus the collaboration with Tarja´s friends Cristina Scabbia, Doro Pesch, Elize Ryd, Floor Jansen, Hansi Kürsch, Joe Lynn Turner, Marco Saaresto, Michael Monroe, Sharon Den Adel, Simone Simons, Timo Kotipelto and Tony Kakko for the beloved “Feliz Navidad”.

The 2020 edition of this festive album adds even more to the perfect dark Christmas spirits. Further to the additional studio recordings, the reissue comes with the previously unreleased live album “Christmas Together: Live at Olomouc and Hradec Králové 2019“. With this first ever Christmas live album, Tarja takes her fans back to an atmospheric celebration and invites them to be a part of her always successful Christmas tours.

Tarja about the album: On this album, I explored the other side of Christmas. The Christmas of the lonely people and the missing ones. The Christmas for those that do not find joy in the blinking lights and the jingle bells.”
