Yesterwynde is the tenth studio album by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, released on 20 September 2024 by Nuclear Blast.

Holopainen began drafting ideas for the next Nightwish album in March and April 2021[12] while also engaging with his side projects Auri and Darkwoods My Betrothed.

[14][15] In March 2022, Holopainen entered the studio to write demos for the upcoming Nightwish album,[16][17] which were later completed in June 2022.

[21][22] After completing the demos in July at an undisclosed location, the band began tracking the album in August.

[28] The title of the album is a word coined by band member Troy Donockley, which Holopainen describes as encapsulating the feelings of time, history, memory, and the connection to past generations, who have "all had their lives, their ups and downs, and they don't exist anymore, except as atoms scattered all over the universe.
