#338: Nightwish Vocalist Floor Jansen

Nightwish vocalist Floor Jansen is our guest this week. We discuss
the band's new album, Human. :II: Nature., whether there were any
concerns about releasing it during the quarantine, working with a
real choir and orchestra instead of using samples, and finding her
vocal timing in the studio, as well as how COVID-19 has taught
people to slow down in life and why not doing concerts is the
safest way to take care of fans. Floor also shares a story about
the time Vinnie Paul showed up at a Nightwish concert, her
experience performing at a venue with a bowling alley next to the
stage, what it was like to become the first band to ever film a
video at London's National History Museum, and having a new species
of beetle named after her. Petar, Brandon, and Sylvia discuss the
new concert safety guidelines that don't permit moshing or
crowdsurfing, MS co-founder Vince Neilstein's article on age
defining your taste in heavy metal, and Serj Tankian’s comments
about how his new EP will consist of songs he wrote for System of A
Down. Songs: Nightwish - “Noise," “Tribal," Killswitch Engage - “To
The Great Beyond” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
