== Background == === Production === Holopainen began drafting ideas for the next Nightwish album in March and April 2021 while also engaging with his side projects Auri and Darkwoods My Betrothed. He confirmed that the band had booked a studio for the next album, scheduled for three months in the summer of 2023 at the Röskö campsite. In March 2022, Holopainen entered the studio to write demos for the upcoming Nightwish album, which were later completed in June 2022.
