Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church is the document of a very special concert in the idyllic setting of Wacken Church. It will be released on August 11, 2023 on earMUSIC and is the first release of the live series Rocking Heels.
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 favorite 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.
Coinciding with the release of her first-ever Best Of: Living The Dream one week ago, Tarja is being presented with six Impala awards commemorating more than 250,000 sales in Europe for her albums Beauty And The Beat, Act II, Luna Park Ride, The Shadow Self, In The Raw,and From Spirits And Ghosts (Score For A Dark Christmas).
To celebrate, Tarja and earMUSIC shared the live video for her song “Innocence.” First released on Tarja’s fifth studio album The Shadow Self, the fan-favorite expresses Tarja’s gratitude towards classical music.
Tarja has chosen this moment in her life to release her first-ever “Best Of: Living The Dream”.
Looking back on 15 extremely successful years of the Finnish singer’s solo career, the Best Of contains not only Tarja’s most well-known tracks, many of them newly remastered at “Sterling Sound”, and personal favorites from all six studio albums – ‘My Winter Storm’, ‘What Lies Beneath’, ‘Colours in the Dark’, ‘The Brightest Void’, ‘The Shadow Self’ and ‘In the Raw’ – but also the never-before-heard song “Eye Of The Storm”.
TARJA is officially starting the festive season with the first single of her upcoming live album Christmas Together: Live at Olomouc and Hradec Králové 2019. It arrives November 6 via earMUSIC. Pre-order it here.
With “Together,” Tarja has chosen a very special song to start the countdown to the new release. Not only is this the song on the album, which is packed with Christmas-classics, it is also the perfect outlook on “Christmas Live.”
