#366: Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish)

Tarja Turunen is our guest for our first-ever holiday episode of
The Metalsucks Podcast. We discuss some of her favorite memories of
Christmas while growing up in Finland, how a personal tragedy
ruined the holidays for many years, her decision to make her first
solo record in 2006 a Christmas album, her upcoming Christmas
livestream performance, and her favorite Christmas album as a
child. She also speaks to the difficulty of not being able to work
during the pandemic, the struggle of finding inspiration during
this time, her desire to do a full tour for the In The Raw album
before releasing a new rock album, and how livestreams will endure
as a platform for bands for years to come. Petar, Brandon, Jozalyn,
and Sylvia tackle the four metal bands that get the vast majority
of streams, our first hard rock/metal albums we got for the
holidays, and much more. Songs: Tarja - “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”
(Live) and “Dead Promises” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
