Magnus Karlssonin naisvokalistien tähdittämä Heart Healer -metalliooppera julkaisi ensimmäisen singlen ”Into The Unknown” tulevalta levyltä “The Metal Opera by Magnus Karlsson”. Albumilla on mukana seitsemän eri laulajaa kuten Adrienne Cowan (Seven Spires, Sascha Paeth’s Masters Of Ceremony, Avantasia), Netta Laurenne (Smackbound, Laurenne/Louhimo), Youmna Jreissati (Ostura), Ailyn (Her Chariot Awaits, ex-Sirenia), Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast), Margarita Monet (Edge of Paradise), ja Anette Olzon (The Dark Element, ex-Nightwish).
”The opera is about The Heart Healer, a character played by the awesome Adrienne Cowan, who wakes up with no memory and does not know who she is. She soon finds out that she can heal people with just a touch of her hand, but every time she does, she gets weaker. On her journey to find out who she really is, she meets new characters who want to help her, those who want her help, and those who are scared of her and start to hunt her.”
”I have worked with so many amazing singers in my career, but mostly male singers,” Magnus kertoo. ”I have of course worked with some incredible female singers such as Noora Louhimo, Amanda Somerville, and Anette Olzon, for example. But I really wanted to write for and record with more female singers and this was a perfect opportunity. I also saw that my label Frontiers had signed a lot of awesome bands with female singers and that also got me inspired. Of course I want to have the best singers, but I also want to have different kinds of singers. They all have very unique voices and sing in different styles, which is very important for a project like this.”
”I think this has something different. It’s not just a bunch of songs. It’s a journey with epic music and beautiful voices.”
