Outlanders

'Outlanders' is Tarja Turunen and Torsten Stenzel. Tarja's vision of 'Outlanders' is to create something exciting and new: 'Outlanders' combine chilled but exciting electronic beats with Tarja's emotional, classically trained vocal skills and unique guitar performances. These three elements are a constant in all the songs and are equally important. Each song presents an exceptional guitarist as guest including Al Di Meola, Joe Satriani, Jennifer Batten, Steve Rothery, Mike Oldfield, Walter Giardino, Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal, Vernon Reid and Marty Friedman. Recorded and mixed mainly on the Caribbean island of Antigua during the last 10 years, the sounds of 'Outlanders' is mystic; soft and powerful; catchy and dreamy; modern but vintage at the same time. Their music contains opposites that magically attract each other and the three aesthetic pillar elements unite to create one unique sound.
