After their last highly acclaimed 2014 album Magic Forest, female fronted Finnish symphonic sextet Amberian Dawn return with Innuendo, their second studio album with gorgeous singer Päivi "Capri" Virkkunen. Presented in a catchier and more melodic way than previous efforts, Innuendo sounds like a deliberately fresh new start with some of the strongest vocal performances in the band’s history. With production work from Mikko Karmilla (Amorphis, Apocalyptica) and Tuomas Seppälä's apparent influences of the likes of Jean Michel Jarre to Vangelis, Innuendo showcases the epic trademarks of an album that could easily place the band into the forefront of the symphonic metal genre.
