NIGHTWISH: 'End Of An Era' DVD To Include Hour-Long Documentary

March 20, 2006

Finland's NIGHTWISH have announced more details about their upcoming live CD/DVD package, entitled "End of an Era". Due out June 2, "End of an Era" will contain recordings/footage of NIGHTWISH's final concert with singer Tarja Turunen, which took place on October 21 at the Hartwall arena in Helsinki, Finland. In addition to the live footage, the DVD will include a slideshow of pictures from the Hartwall show and a 55-minute documentary, "A Day Before Tomorrow", featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the band in the 15 days prior to the Hartwall Show. The documentary was edited by Timo Halo, who also edited and directed the "From Wishes To Eternity - Deleted Scenes" and "End of Innocence" movies that were released on previous NIGHTWISH DVDs.

Due to contractual reasons (namely a dispute with Turunun's manager/husband Marcelo Cabuli over the terms of Tarja's split from the group),the CD/DVD will apparently only be released in mainland Europe and will not be issued in the group's home country.

"End of an Era" track listing:

01. Dark Chest Of Wonders
02. Planet Hell
03. Ever Dream
04. Kinslayer
05. Phantom Of The Opera
06. The Siren
07. Sleeping Sun

NIGHTWISH fired Turunen via an "open letter," which was given to the singer immediately following the Helsinki show. The group are currently seeking a replacement vocalist before entering the studio in September 2006 to begin recording the follow-up to 2004's "Once", tentatively due in mid-2007.
