Yesterwynde, a word crafted to evoke the essence of time, history, memory, and a connection to past generations, is the latest title from symphonic metal legends Nightwish. Behind this inventive title is Troy Donockley, the band’s versatile multi-instrumentalist. Now with 10 albums and nearly two decades together, Nightwish raises the bar once again, and we had the opportunity to discuss Troy's remarkable journey with the band.
With contributions on Uilleann pipes, low whistles, acoustic and electric guitars, bouzouki, bodhrán, aerophone, and vocals, Troy’s role in shaping Nightwish's powerful sound is nothing short of monumental. His musical synergy with bandmates like Floor Jansen is undeniable, and this chemistry is fully realized in Yesterwynde.
In this conversation, we also dive into Troy’s passion for film, including a love for sci-fi—Alien fans, you’re in for a treat! Tune in now for an inside look, and don’t forget to buy and stream Nightwish’s latest release. Yesterwynde is available worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.
