Where Nemo Fairlight and Soul in Sadness Sit After Nights Align (Feat. Sammie Champa) and Its Hindi Bridge
A Canadian-German Symphonic Metal Duo Points Toward Its Coming Album, Our Nights Align
Nights Align, a symphonic metal single, already holds second place among the popular tracks of Nemo Fairlight on Spotify, less than three weeks after it reached the service on 27 October 2026. Only one song ranks above it: Love Psalm, a Silent Hill cover made with Pixel Mixers, at 26,500 plays. Nemo Fairlight, a symphonic metal musician from Calgary, Canada, made the single with Soul in Sadness, a musician based in Germany, featuring Sammie Champa.
Nemo Fairlight and Soul in Sadness’s Nights Align sits in the playlist below, among hard rock and metalcore records, and the Nemo Fairlight and Soul in Sadness artist profile lists every article about the collaboration. The single came to this desk through PopHits.Co Music Charts. It verifies independent artists and places their releases across its network of music news desks. Press play on Nights Align, then read on.
That placement is the starting point here. This piece looks at where Nights Align sits in a catalogue that began with a love song in 2023, what changes on it, and the thread that runs through all of it.
Nemo Fairlight’s Catalogue Runs From Keys of My Heart in 2023 to Nights Align (Feat. Sammie Champa)
The run on Bandcamp is five releases long. Keys of My Heart came first, on 21 June 2023, written as a love song for a partner. Golden Fire followed on 31 January 2025. Then, on 2 October 2025, The Thread Between Us brought Soul in Sadness into the Bandcamp run, built around soprano and bass duets with a choir, full orchestration and Nick Jolly on flugelhorn and piccolo trumpet.
The cast kept growing. And on the Eighth Day, I Said, released on 3 July 2026 with Chromatic Apparatus on cello, is loosely inspired by Smetana’s Moldau and adds flute, sax, clarinet, oboe, trumpet, horn and a choir. Nights Align arrived on Bandcamp at the start of October 2026, almost exactly a year after that first duet single.
Spotify tells a second story. Next to the originals sit the game-music projects: Love Psalm, from Silent Hill: Book of Memories, and In the Blood, from Hades, which has 1,025 plays and Soul in Sadness in its cast. Waiting for Rain, with Soul in Sadness and Nicole Chang, adds one more collaboration between the pair.
Nights Align Gives Nemo Fairlight and Soul in Sadness a Viola Duet and a Bridge in Hindi
So what changes on Nights Align? First, the strings move to the front. Nemo Fairlight wrote the words and music, arranged and orchestrated the song, sings it and plays viola. Soul in Sadness sings the low part, plays guitars and bass, and co-produced, mixed and mastered the track. Sammie Champa plays the viola solo, and Stefan Siegl shares the arranging.
The solo builds into a viola duet at the bridge, and that bridge is sung in Hindi. None of the four earlier Bandcamp releases lists Hindi among its tags. Around it, the song keeps the shape the duo built a year earlier: a large choir, melodic symphonic metal, and Fairlight’s classically shaped voice set against the bass voice of Soul in Sadness. The song is about calm, safety and closeness, written for the bond that forms when you show someone your darkest side.
Epica and Nightwish Set the Template for the Duo’s High and Low Voices
The duo name both bands in their own tags, and the lineage is clear. Epica, the Dutch band founded by Mark Jansen, built its sound on Simone Simons’s soprano against Jansen’s growls. For its first album, Epica also assembled a choir and a string orchestra that included two violas.
Nightwish came first. The Finnish band formed in 1996 with the classical singer Tarja Turunen, and on Oceanborn her voice met guest growls from Tapio Wilska. Nightwish became the third best-selling act in Finland. Nemo Fairlight and Soul in Sadness swap the growl for a bass voice, but the contrast between a high classical line and a low one is the same idea.
That is the through-line of the catalogue. The songs keep coming back to love and healing, and both Bandcamp duets with Soul in Sadness lean on that high and low pairing. Nights Align is also a preview of the coming album Our Nights Align.
From the RockCharts.News curator team: “We added Nights Align to our hard rock and metalcore playlist, where its viola duet stands apart from everything around it.”
Play Nights Align, then go back to Keys of My Heart and hear how far the catalogue has moved since 2023.
