Former Nightwish bassist/vocalist Marko Hietala is back with a mesmerizing new single, “Frankenstein’s Wife,” a tragic love song that blends dark humor with haunting melodies. This rock hymn is a journey into the gothic world of a mad scientist’s desperate attempt to reanimate the love of his life.
With its Tim Burton-like gothic qualities, “Frankenstein’s Wife” is both eerie and enchanting. The song showcases Marko’s signature storytelling, combining a great guitar riff and haunting keyboards that build into a chorus you can’t help but sing along to.
Marko Hietala comments: “I like to write my romance mixed with insanity and splatter. What it tells about me is anyone’s guess, but it sure is a classic combo for legends. Hope you like the song too!”
Producer and guitarist Tuomas Wäinölä adds: “Production-wise ”Frank” includes some personal favorite moments catching the vibe of the great Alice Cooper albums “Trash” and “Hey Stoopid”. I love that theatrical arena rock sound with broad tempos, big guitar riffs and synths, and some gang backing vocals.”
The music video brings this darkly romantic tale to life in a visually stunning way, adding layers of depth to an already unforgettable song. Check it out below.
