NIGHTWISH: Studio Diary Available
October 17, 2006NIGHTWISH drummer Jukka "Julius" Nevalainen has launched a studio diary covering the recording sessions for the group's new album. Read it at this location.
NIGHTWISH's upcoming CD will be the group's first release since the departure of singer Tarja Turunen. The band fired Turunen via an "open letter," which was given to the singer immediately following their final concert together, which took place on October 21, 2005 at the Hartwall arena in Helsinki, Finland. The Helsinki show was filmed and recorded for the recently released "End of an Era" DVD and CD, which entered the German chart at a No. 3 and has already been certified gold for sales in excess of 25,000 copies. "End of an Era" was also certified gold in Finland the day after its release. In addition to the live footage, the DVD includes 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.
NIGHTWISH is not expected to announce a replacement for Turunen until early 2007.
