Finnish solo artist Tarja stands as one of the most captivating and versatile voices to emerge from the heavy music scene. Since parting ways with Nightwish, she has spent over 15 years crafting a rich and diverse catalogue that spans rock, classical, and cinematic soundscapes—earning her a devoted global following and a reputation as a true genre-defying icon.
Now, Tarja invites you to experience the season like never before with her new album, Score for a Dark Christmas. A stunning collection of her most evocative and atmospheric christmas interpretations, this release brings together the finest moments from her acclaimed albums Dark Christmas and From Spirits and Ghosts, offering a rich tapestry of sound that blends classical elegance, gothic beauty, and emotional depth. Score for a Dark Christmas offers a completely new listening experience for Christmas music, featuring a freshly curated running order and striking new artwork that deepens the album’s atmospheric allure.
From the haunting serenity of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and Pie Jesu to the reimagined whimsy of Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Tarja transforms familiar melodies into cinematic masterpieces. Tracks like Dark Christmas, Amazing Grace, and O Holy Night showcase her signature vocal power and orchestral grandeur, while beloved classics such as Last Christmas, All I Want for Christmas Is You, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas take on a new, introspective glow. With 24 tracks in total, this album is a journey through the shadows and light of the holiday season.
Score for a Dark Christmas will be available in multiple formats to suit every listener: a limited 2LP black/white marble Gatefold edition for vinyl enthusiasts, a ltd 2CD + Blu-ray Digipak packed with exclusive content (over 300min), and a digital release for instant access. The Blu-ray includes behind-the-scenes Making-of videos, the full-length Dark Christmas Movie in Dolby Atmos, and the unforgettable 2011 concert at Sibelius Hall with Harus, along with additional rare footage that fans won’t want to miss.
Available via earMUSIC, Score for a Dark Christmas is set to be released on December 5, 2025
