Tarja Turunen has released a video for her track No Bitter End.

The song is taken from the former Nightwish singer’s prequel record, The Brightest Void, which is due out on June 3. It’ll be released ahead of the launch of her next full-length album The Shadow Self on August 5.

She said: “During the process of recording The Shadow Self, I realised that there were so many tracks, too many too dear to me, for just one album. So I decided to keep nothing for myself and to share all my favourite new songs with you.

The Brightest Void gives more than a first taste of The Shadow Self. I hope the release of the prequel sweetens the wait until August and that you will like the songs as much as I do.”

Tarja has scheduled a string of European festival appearances in the coming months. Both of her albums are also available for pre-order.
