Tarja is one of the most relevant and distinctive voices in the world of hard rock and
metal. Since launching her solo career, she has consistently charted internationally
and built one of the most loyal fanbases in the genre – willing to follow Tarja in every
new adventure.
Across more than two decades, Tarja has released a highly successful catalogue,
reaching the Top 10 of multiple European album charts and establishing herself as an
artist of rare consistency and presence. Her live performances have become a
defining element of her career: touring worldwide and appearing as a celebrated guest

For her global fanbase, a new metal album by Tarja is not simply anticipated - it is
essential!
"Frisson Noir" is a bold and uncompromising statement. The album is, without
question, the heaviest of Tarja's career and a clear commitment to metal in its purest
and most powerful form. Across 10 tracks, Tarja delivers intensity, emotion and
strength, supported by stellar guest performances by Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth),

define Tarja as an artist: dramatic, emotional and unmistakably metal. This is pure
Tarja and leaves no doubt about where she and her music belong.
