TARJA TURUNEN Interviewed In Zagreb (Video)

January 30, 2012

Tarja Turunen was interviewed by Tea Fluksi of the "Metal Eye" show on Z1 TV when the former NIGHTWISH singer performed at Boogaloo in Zagreb, Croatia on January 23. You can now watch the chat below.

New episodes of "Metal Eye" can be seen live via the Internet every Sunday at midnight and Wednesday at 1:00 a.m. CET. The show is in the Croatian language, but most of the interviews are conducted in English and many new metal videos are aired during the program.

Turunen's new project, HARUS, last month released a CD/DVD/Blu-ray, entitled "In Concert - Live At Sibelius Hall".

The HARUS live album/DVD was made available worldwide by earMUSIC in collaboration with Edel's classic music division Berlin Classics. This joint venture from two music labels apparently far away from each other would probably sound bizarre at first sight (a label operating in alternative and metal music with one representing traditional classical music artists). The reason lies beneath the many sides of Tarja Turunen's music.

The first output of HARUS features traditional and emotional music from Finland presented together with more international repertoire.

Tarja's sophomore solo album, "What Lies Beneath", sold around 1,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 24 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"What Lies Beneath" was released in North America on September 14, 2010 via The End Records.
