A stopgap to see the former
Nightwish chanteuse between albums, it may say EP on the cover, but given the quality and abundance of material on offer there's no danger of feeling short changed. Previously appearing as a bonus track from
Tarja's
My Winter Storm,
The Seer now features
Doro Pesch sharing simply spellbinding vocals and sounds. Alternate versions and remixes of several cuts from
MWS, including
Die Alive and
Lost Northern Star, are complemented by four live tracks recorded in Finland to bulk up the rest of the disc for full-on operatic metal overload. With so much to keep you occupied, you'll be bummed when it's Finnished.
