Nightwish reveal Endless Forms tour edition

Nightwish will release a tour edition of eighth album Endless Forms Most Beautiful, to mark their run of European shows.

Their first title with singer Floor Jansen was launched in March – and the new edition will be be issued on October 30 via Nuclear Blast.

Nightwish say: “It will include a DVD with lots of great bonus material including 21 making-of episodes, two previously unreleased live clips, five special clips, Elan and Endless Forms Most Beautiful official videos, and photo gallery.”

Pre-orders are now being taken via Nuclear Blast. Nightwish’s European tour launches this week and includes a stop at London’s SSE Arena, Wembley, on December 19. Mainman Tuomas Holopainen recently said he was flattered to influence other artists – although he revealed he’s yet to hear another band his own.
