It's the dawn of spring 2020. During one morning, Esa Holopainen's mobile vibrates laboriously, and the guitarist picks up the phone. After some quintessential compliments, there comes the core question. 'Esa, would it be the right time to start working on your solo album?' This gentle voice belongs to Nino Laurenne, renowned music producer and owner of Helsinki-based recording facility Sonic Pump. Esa Holopainen doesn't have to think for too long, the electric guitarist extraordinaire already knows the answer.
