About this album

Century Child is the fourth studio album of Finnish quintet Nightwish, released in 2002 by Spinefarm Records. It is the first album with current bassist and male vocalist Marco Hietala.

The album is a notable departure from previous Nightwish releases, musically and lyrics-wise. It contains orchestral backing, an ethereal production, a much more streamlined vocal work from Tarja Turunen and vocals by Marco in songs like “Slaying the Dreamer”, “Dead to the World” and “The Phantom of the Opera”; Furthermore, the lyrics depict the strongest concept album undercurrents yet. This could also be considered one of Nightwish’s darkest albums. The album received strong positive reviews.
