Dark Passion Play is the upcoming sixth studio album from Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish. It is scheduled for release on September 26, 2007 through Spinefarm and on September 28, 2007 through Nuclear Blast and Roadrunner Records. It is band's sixth studio album and the first album to feature the band's new lead vocalist, Anette Olzon, and the first without former vocalist Tarja Turunen, due to her departure in October 2005. Dark Passion Play will be the band's first studio album in three years, the longest non-album gap in their history.
It reportedly cost over 500,000€ to create — twice the cost of "Once" — making it the most expensive Finnish album ever recorded. Most of this money was spent at Abbey Road Studios with the London Session Orchestra, and an extra 270,000€ was spent recording the videos
The band is cooperating with the London Session Orchestra and Metro Voices Choir, as they did for Once. They are also working with several guest musicians—band founder, keyboardist and main songwriter, Tuomas Holopainen, commented that people might be wondering what's going on with all the musicians running to and from the recording building in London.
