While NIGHTWISH are currently working on the successor of 'Imaginaerum', drummer Jukka Nevalainen, who has been with the band since 1997, surprises us with the following statement: “How to begin telling something that you wouldn’t want to have to tell, although you know that the decision you made is the only (at least the only right) one you could make at the moment? I face this dilemma now, and will do my best to find the right words.

For a number of years, I have suffered from occasional but very difficult insomnia, something that has been my unwanted companion during many of our tours, too. I’ve done my best to try to control it or at least to cope with it. Still, we don’t even really know why we need sleep, so unfortunately there’s not much information available on why some of us suffer from sleeplessness. There is no 100% cure for the problem.

Entitled 'Between Wine and Blood", the album is both a brand new studio mini-album of 6 new songs and an 11 track live album recorded on the band's current "Between Dog and Wolf" tour. "Between Dog and Wolf", released last September, received some of New Model Army's best ever reviews in their 34 year career and was certainly their fastest selling album in 20 years, charting top 30 in UK and Germany and the major European tour through the end of last year reflected this success. The live album features songs recorded at London, Nottingham, Cambridge, Cologne and Amsterdam.

The title track perfectly showcases the many versatile sides of Lord Of The Lost. Intro and verse have harsh guitars meeting thudding Electronica and a Club-compatible beat, while front man Chris Harms juggles with the many facets of his charismatic voice, easily moving from deep, spine-tingling singing to death grunts and demonic Black-Metal-style screams. In a constant balancing act between dark atmosphere and pumping aggression, the song culminates in an anthemic chorus that will prove earworm-worthy even to those who have not been initiated into the wild world of Metal. The single includes the album version of “Six Feet Underground” plus two exclusive remixes. With the first mix, German Electro-band CHROM proves that the song also works perfectly well as a Synth-Pop-anthem, by creating a top notch floor filler.
