The Brightest Void is the third EP by Finnish rock and metal soprano vocalist Tarja Turunen. It serves as a prequel to the main album The Shadow Self. It was released on the 3 June 2016 and contains 9 tracks.

Background

This album came to Tarja as an idea for a big surprise and gift to her fans containing material recorded but not being included on the main album. She explained: "During the long process of recording the songs for my new studio album ‘The Shadow Self’, I realised that there were so many tracks... ...for just one album. So this time I decided to keep nothing for myself and to share all my favourite new songs with you, the fans, who have shown such passionate and constant support."

On 14 April 2016, earMUSIC released a trailer for the video, "No Bitter End". The whole video was released on 20 April.

On 27 May 2016, Tarja announced the full-length album was available for streaming on Apple Music.
