NIGHTWISH’s eighth studio album, »Endless Forms Most Beautiful«, will be out on March 27th (EU), 30th (UK) and 31st (US). Produced by Tero “TeeCee” Kinnunen, the title for »Endless Forms Most Beautiful«, was taken from the writings of English naturalist Charles Darwin and includes adult & children’s choirs, collaborative work with esteemed orchestral arranger Pip Williams, and a guest appearance by evolutionary biologist, writer, and atheist Richard Dawkins.
The video for the album single 'Élan' features some of Finland’s most beloved elderly actors & actresses and was shot in 11 days in eight abandoned Finnish locations by director Ville Lipiäinen.
