Nightwish Reveal New Album Details


. (Prog) Nightwish have revealed the tracklist for upcoming eighth album Endless Forms Most Beautiful. The 11-song follow-up to 2011's Imaginaerum will be launched in late March via Nuclear Blast, with lead single Elan to be released next month.

It's their first record with vocalist Floor Jansen, and with piper and whistler Troy Donockley as a full-time member of the band. Drummer Jukka Nevalainen was replaced by Kai Hahto in the studio as a result of ongoing health issues.

Mainman Tuomas Holopainen recently cited a Charles Darwin quote as his inspiration for the album: "Whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
