Former Nightwish vocalist, Tarja Turunen revealed her new solo album cover entitled "Henkäys Ikuisuudesta"

Turunen recently announced the following message:

"We've finally reached the moment we have been waiting for. Henkäys Ikuisuudesta is ready!! I want to thank all the persons involved in the process of making this album: the musicians, producers, engineers, cloth designers, partners, make up artists, the artwork designer, the record company, the press and promoters and all of the composers for borrowing me their songs. Even though quite hard, the complete process has been very enlightening and fun. I hope you'll enjoy the album as much as I do. We've spent so many days behind the mixing board that all those buttons seem familiar now. We finished mixing the complete album last September 28th. The following day, I filmed a short TV advertisement for the album. We also filmed an interview that will be uploaded in few days to this website, where I discussed many things about Henkäys Ikuisuudesta."
