Tarja Turunen returns with Frisson Noir, her 2026 release on Ear Music, a commanding statement in symphonic and gothic metal. Drawing on her signature blend of operatic vocal authority and orchestral arrangements, Turunen continues to expand the possibilities of metal's dramatic register, building on the theatrical intensity that has defined her solo work since departing Nightwish.

The album opens with the title track "Frisson Noir," setting a tone of gothic grandeur that runs throughout. Standout moments like "The Eternal Return" and "Leap Of Faith" showcase Turunen's gift for pairing intricate vocal lines with expansive metal arrangements, while deeper cuts such as "At Sea" and "The Trace Outlives…" reveal a restless compositional ambition. "Blaze Forever" punctuates the record with a particularly fierce deliveryâ€"the record balances symphonic sweep with genuine heaviness, refusing sentimentality in favor of architectural precision.

This limited edition double vinyl, pressed to 180g purple vinyl and limited to 4,000 units worldwide, arrives in a gatefold sleeve finished with copper foil stamping and embossed lettering. The package includes a 24-page LP-sized booklet featuring full lyrics, photography, and illustrations, making it an object worthy of sustained engagement.
