In a shocking turn of events, NIGHTWISH singer Floor Jansen has announced her upcoming studio album, “Hytress”, which is set to destroy our eardrums on January 15, 2027, via REVAMP Music/Warner Music. I mean, who needs personal relationships or a social life when you have a new Floor Jansen album to look forward to? 🙌
As Floor explained in an interview with Janne Vuorela of Finland’s Imperiumi, “Let’s not forget that before I joined NIGHTWISH, I had my own bands where I always wrote. So in that sense, it was nothing new to be more in the position of a songwriter or the one that steers up stuff.” Yeah, because being the lead singer of one of the most popular symphonic metal bands in the world isn’t enough, she also has to go and make solo albums that will inevitably make us all question our life choices. 🤔
The “Hytress” Era: A New Chapter in Floor’s Musical Journey
Regarding her musical decisions on the new album, Floor said, “I don’t think we thought in lines like that directly from the get-go. It’s more we had the ambition to make the album heavier.” Because, you know, what’s heavier than a NIGHTWISH album? A Floor Jansen solo album, duh! 🤘 She also mentioned that she was inspired by bands like BLEED FROM WITHIN, GOJIRA, and PERIPHERY, which is just code for “I’m going to make an album that will blow your mind and melt your face off”. 🔥
But wait, there’s more! Floor also talked about the production decisions on “Hytress”, saying, “Well, one of them was definitely the format of the songs. And as we were searching for a heavy sound, we got much inspired by the down-tuned style… But also that style of building, a double bass, drum-and-bass sound with that type of guitar playing, but then mixed with accessible choruses and my type of vocals.” So, basically, she’s going to make an album that’s like a punch in the face, but with catchy choruses and vocals that will make you cry tears of joy. 🎉

I mean, with song titles like these, you know you’re in for a wild ride. 🎢 It’s like Floor is trying to tell us something, but what? 🤷♀️ Is it “I’m a metal goddess and I’m here to destroy you”? Or is it “I’m a sensitive soul and I just want to make music that touches your heart”? 🤔 Either way, we’re here for it. 🎉
In other news, Floor has been busy with her personal life, including welcoming her second child, Lucy, with SABATON drummer Hannes Van Dahl in October 2023. Because, you know, being a metal mom is the coolest thing ever. 🤘 She’s also been touring with NIGHTWISH and releasing live albums, because why not? 🤷♀️ The woman is a machine, folks! 💪
The Legacy of Floor Jansen: A Metal Icon
Born in the Netherlands, Floor joined her first band, AFTER FOREVER, when she was just 16 years old. Because, you know, being a teenager isn’t hard enough, she also had to go and become a metal legend. 🤘 She then went on to join REVAMP and eventually NIGHTWISH, releasing albums and touring the world like it’s nobody’s business. 🌎
And let’s not forget her solo tour, which sold out in less than 24 hours, because of course it did. 🎟️ I mean, who wouldn’t want to see Floor Jansen live? 🤩 It’s like she’s trying to break some kind of record for most albums sold or most faces melted off. 🤯
In conclusion, Floor Jansen’s new album “Hytress” is coming, and we’re all doomed… err, I mean, excited! 🤩 So, go ahead and clear your schedules for January 15, 2027, because you won’t want to miss this. 📅 And if you’re lucky, you might even get to see her live, because that’s a thing that happens when you’re a metal goddess. 🤘🎸
