Tarja Turunen has released a live video showcasing her track Undertaker.

The performance has been taken from Tarja’s upcoming album Act II and follows a promo for Love To Hate which arrived earlier this month.

The follow-up to the former Nightwish singer’s 2012 debut live album Act I: Live In Rosario will launch on July 27 via earMUSIC on 2CD digipak, 3LP, DVD, Blu-ray, limited edition mediabook 2CD/2Blu-ray and on digital formats.

Tarja says: “Act II is not a live video, it is a live art video and you are free to discuss it very controversially – which is exactly what I want.

“Turn off the lights, volume up and dive into the show!”

The new package is split into two separate sets – the first was filmed at London’s Metropolis Studios on June 6 last year in front of just 20 competition winners from across Europe.

The second set was recorded on November 29, 2016, at Milan’s Teatro della Luna Allago, and features tracks from all four of Tarja’s solo albums, including Innocence, Die Alive, Until My Last Breath and a cover of Muse track Supremacy.

Tarja will tour across Europe throughout October.
