NIGHTWISH brings Human :||: Nature World Tour at the Skydome next week

Leave a comment

PULP Live World will start 2023 with a Heavy Metal explosion as we proudly bring for the first time to the Philippines the iconic Finnish Symphonic Metal band, NIGHTWISH Live in Manila for one night of
majestic Metal madness this March 29, 2023, 8PM at the SM North Edsa Skydome!

Forged in fire at a hidden camp at Lake Pyhäjärvi in Kitee, Tuomas Holopainen, the band’s keyboardist, spawned NIGHTWISH. His vision turned into a massive ensemble that made a phenomenal mark in the
industry with their debut album Angels Fall First reaching the number 31 spot on the Finnish charts, while their single, “The Carpenter” made it to the Top 10.

NIGHTWISH’s historic chronicle continued with more chart-topping albums such as Oceanborn (1998), Wishmaster (2000), and Century Child (2002) to name a few. The EP Over the Hills and Far Away released in 2001 dominated the charts for nearly a year. While their 2004
album, Once, sold more than one million copies. This hour-long masterpiece gave the band’s listeners fresh tunes with magnificent orchestral and choral arrangements, and became their gateway to conquer the United States.

As a pioneer of Symphonic Metal, the band has achieved legendary status today. Since its inception, the band has successfully released nine studio albums selling over 10 million records worldwide. NIGHTWISH is also inaugurated into the Finnish Music Hall of Fame, becoming the 11th
member of the honorary gallery and is considered Finland’s most successful band. They are also one of Europe’s most famed bands of all time, receiving more than 60 gold and platinum awards, having
released six Number 1 albums and thirteen Number 1 singles throughout their career.

Now, NIGHTWISH members, Floor Jansen (Vocals), Tuomas Holopainen (Keyboards), Emppu Vuorinen (Guitars), Troy Donockley (Uileann Pipes), Kai Hahto (Drums), and Jukka Koskinen (Bass Guitar) are geared to wow Manila with their symphonic melodies and multi-dimensional Metal tunes as they play their iconic hits and latest tracks from their newest album, Human :||: Nature. This ninth album proves that they’re not yet done surprising fans with highly-creative releases as this is their first gigantic double release that highlights both Heavy Metal and enchanting orchestral sounds.

Brace yourselves for yet another legendary show from PULP Live World! We’ll surely be blown away by an epic and out-of-the-ordinary live music experience at NIGHTWISH LIVE IN MANILA happening on March 29, 2023 at the SM North Edsa Skydome.

KAIA brings back the fun in pop music on the performance video of “Turn Up”

Leave a comment

fter earning rave reviews for their Y2K-indebted track “Dalawa,” KAIA marks another creative triumph for P-Pop with the release of another banger under Sony Music Entertainment.


The Filipino girl group’s new single “Turn Up” unabashedly displays their signature brand of sass while reviving the bold, explosive sounds of early 2010’s dance-pop.


The release of “Turn Up” comes with a music video (performance version) directed by Denny Lee and Jake Jung. The visuals find KAIA performing the track with a synchronized choreography.


“Because it’s upbeat and danceable, we thought a party concept will best for it, so people could have fun whenever they hear Turn Up,” KAIA shares in a collaborative statement. “We want our listeners to feel good as they vibe with the song.”

The catchy track was written by KAIA themselves, and helmed by acclaimed K-Pop producer Lee Oh Won, who has done impressive work for international artists such as Stray Kids, SHINee’s Taemin, TVXQ, SB19, and more.


As pointed out by the five-member act, “Turn Up” is an escapist anthem about setting one’s worries aside for the time being and taking pleasure in moments that call for fun and adventure.


“We got so busy stressing out about things that we couldn’t control,” says the Blah Blah quintet. “This song somehow encourages listeners to break away from the mold, live in the moment, and let their body groove into the music. Sometimes all you need is to disconnect from the outside world and be yourself.”


“Turn Up” will also be part of KAIA’s debut EP to be released in the coming months. The song will be performed live at the Pinoy Pop Convention 2023 (PPOPCON), an ultimate fan gathering and celebration of Filipino pop culture and music.


KAIA’s “Turn Up” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide. Watch the music video (performance version) here

5 SECONDS OF SUMMER RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘5SOS5’ AND NEW SINGLE ‘BAD OMENS’

Leave a comment

Multi-platinum selling pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer release their highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5SOS5. With 5SOS5, the band has ascended to the next level musically. The 19-track album showcases the band’s multi-faceted artistry and growth over their 10-year career, highlighting their dynamic pop-punk sound paired with reflective and intimate lyrics, with the majority of the new album written by the band and Michael Clifford leading on production.

The release of 5SOS5 includes their brand new single “Bad Omens’’ as well as previously released tracks “Blender”, “Take My Hand”, & “Me, Myself & I”, which gave fans an eagerly awaited preview of what to expect from the album. On Vulture’s list of most anticipated fall albums, they write: “Early singles ‘Complete Mess’ and ‘Me Myself & I’ promise more of the group’s signature power-pop sound, while adding a little synth-pop flair.”

5SOS5 also includes the band’s smash hit “COMPLETE MESS”, an anthemic single that took airwaves by storm as the #2 most added at Top 40 Radio with 100+ stations in the first week. The single was hailed by critics, with Rolling Stone (Australia) writing: “its nascent arrival showcase[es] the group’s evolved sound as they balance an expansive vibe with contemporary pop sensibilities … considered compositions and mature sound showcase a new version of 5 Seconds of Summer, but not one that is so far removed from what made them icons in the first place.”

In celebration of the release of 5SOS5, 5 Seconds of Summer played an exclusive global livestream “The Feeling of Falling Upwards” last night from the world-famous Royal Albert Hall in London. The band performed a set of reimagined versions of songs from their 11-year catalogue, plus brand-new songs from the new album, accompanied by an orchestra and choir. Watch the band’s live performance of brand new single “Bad Omens”

5SOS5 is the band’s first album to be released independently via BMG. The deluxe CD and digital versions of the album include 19 tracks with cassette and vinyl formats also available. Complete track listing is below.
