TARJA 'Numb' - Official Live Video

From the album 'Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church' (August 11th)

“Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church” is the document of a very special concert in the idyllic setting of Wacken Church. Released on August 11th, 2023 on earMUSIC, it is the first release of the live series “Rocking Heels”. It is available as a Ltd. 2LP Vinyl Edition, CD mini LP replica and on Digital.

In front of just 300 handpicked fans, this onetime-only event opened the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2016. Tarja presents unique arrangements of rock and heavy metal classics by her favourite artists including “Numb” by Linkin Park, In Flame’s “Alias”, Metallica’s “The Unforgiven”, songs by Joe Satriani and Slipknot as well as a Nightwish song and Tarja originals.

The first single, a cover of Linkin Park’s “Numb”, perfectly reflects the intimate setting of this concert. Tarja's operatic prowess and hauntingly beautiful vocals add an extra layer of ethereal magic to an already powerful masterpiece. The song explores themes of emotional isolation, frustration, and the struggle to find one's identity in a world that often feels overwhelming. The lyrics convey a sense of detachment and numbness, reflecting the emotional struggles and inner turmoil of the protagonist.

Only Tarja could take a song this popular and make it operatic without losing any of the original feelings. Perfectly done

[Vez]

She did this beautifully- I think Chester would be blown away by her rendition. Hers is a truly beautiful voice and I am glad I finally got to see this.

Chester, it's for you darling ❤ we still love and honour your life and work, and here is Tarja, one of the most recognized female metal singers and absolute amazing opera singer, paying such a deeply emotional tribute to you, Chester ❤ and to the delight of us, fans of both of you 💜

[devanarmoriescu]

Damn! I can see Chester huging Tarja after her performance ❤

[TaliesinCeawlin]

Tarja, finally realizing her full potential, Thank you Tarja, Beautiful as ever, you are, in voice and in form!

I'm so grateful for existing in the same time with her. She has one of the best voices I ever heard in this planet. It's impossible not feeling goosebumps with the passion and interpretation she shows. Tarja is everything. ❤️🥲

Freaking amazing. This album release did come as a huge surprise to me but I'm so happy about it. It's been great to have many releases lately from Tarja, her Best Of album last December (2022), Outlanders very soon June 26th (2023) and now this album too and hopefully the "dark christmas part II" album later this year. As a Tarja fan I'm very happy. Would love to have this released as a live dvd/blu-ray too.

[ArianaGramsci]

I can always rely on Tarja's voice and performance to make me relate to any and every song she sings!

[KamikazeBk]

Tarja is simply amazing. But Max Lilja. What a 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[laurikguitarcovers]

As a fan of both Tarja and LP, gotta say i'm in the skies right now.

[rooannaa]

There's no way not to get emotional. An explosion of brightness and perfection, missing the eternal Chester and with the voice of this goddess it was wonderful. Thank you for existing Tarja. ♥️

[astralwillow]

I've loved Chester and Tarja's music more than any others for the past 20 years of my life. To hear her perform his song is something I never would've thought I would get to experience. Thankful for this gift 🖤

[nfl_djouder]

Oh my goodness! This is just amazing ❤️🎹🎻🎼🎶🎵
Thank you very much for giving us such an opportunity to listen to this 🙏
Thank you for everything you are doing
Thank you for existing 🥹
I love you ❤️

What I love about Tarjas cover versions: She never tries to simply copy the original artist & song but offers an alternative version with her very own style instead.
It‘s the same with Darkness, Still Of The Night, Supremacy or O Come, O Come Emanuel - the outcome is always exciting, magnificent and unparalleled.
Covering such a popular and loved Linkin Park song needs BALLS and she f*cking nailed it! Well done, Queen. 👌
