《Dark Passion Play》是来自芬兰的歌特金属乐队 Nightwish 夜愿 的第六张专辑，同时也是新的主唱 Anette Olzon 加入后的第一张专辑，并且第一次在演唱者名单上少了 Tarja Turunen 的名字，因为她于2005年10月离开了 Nightwish 夜愿。Nuclear Blast 和 Roadrunner Records 预计2007年9月26日发行的本专辑推迟到了28日，此辑也是乐队三年来的第一张专辑，由此在乐队的历史上留下了一段较长的空白期。
据说制作《Dark Passion Play》总共花费了超过500,000欧元，这种制作成本是 Nightwish 夜愿 之前的专辑《Once》的两倍，也是芬兰历史上最昂贵的专辑。其中大部分花在了在Abbey大道的录音室里与伦敦Session管弦乐团的合作上，另外270,000欧元用于专辑MV的拍摄。

An extremely experimental and strong offering, as the band's improvement from its first disc is commendable. There are images of Stratovarius, Balance of Power, and Kamelot, all the while being firmly planted in the Power Metal realm (via Nightwish's thick and clear distortion). The female vocals mix well with the band's unique delivery, and the music becomes downright enchanting in places.The metallic and chunky "Gethsemane" makes excellent use of both piano and symphony sounds, while the riff-stutter drive of "Sacrament of Wilderness" is more straight-forward. The driving "The Riddler" is a top spot, and "The Pharoah Sails to Orion" is lavish and somewhat wicked. Other good cuts include "Stargazers," the mixed male/female story told within "Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean," and the rollicking instrumental "Moondance". Spinefarm.
