NIGHTWISH has checked in with the following update:
This summer, NIGHTWISH published the first application about the band for tablet computers. It has now been updated. The new version includes three unreleased live recordings by NIGHTWISH, a videoblog by the band’s new vocalist Floor Jansen, profiles of the band members, new photos, and other interesting updates. NIGHTWISH FanPOD also includes details of all NIGHTWISH´s online services.
NIGHTWISH FanPOD is available for download in English, Portuguese and Russian on iTunes App Store and Google Play.
Commented NIGHTWISH manager Ewo Pohjola: “NIGHTWISH has always taken a keen interest in everything new. With FanPOD we can give our fans much more than just with traditional printed fanclub newsletter. For one thing, with printed newsletter there’s no way we could publish actual recordings and rare video footage that we have here plenty in our archives.”
NIGHTWISH has issued the following on the band’s Facebook Page:
Today we release the second video clip – `Ghost Love Score’ – out of the upcoming DVD / Blu-ray »Showtime, Storytime« (out on November, 29th). Check out the live videoclip here:
On November 7, Dutch singer Floor Jansen of NIGHTWISH and REVAMP was interviewed in the studios of Finland’s Radio Rock when REVAMP played at Nosturi in Helsinki as the support act for KAMELOT. You can now watch a clip from the chat below. Excerpts follow.
On whether she has spoken to her friend, former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen, about their shared experience of fronting the band and the circumstances that led to Tarja‘s departure from the group:
Floor: “Not really. No. Because I feel everyone is different. Time and times have been different. People grow, people change. And I don’t wanna go down that road. I’d rather see what happens around me and be in the here and the now with the people I work with and don’t go behind backs and [say], ‘How was it for you? What happened?’ You know. I don’t do that.”
On whether she has any fears that, due to the band’s troubled history with lead vocalists, her time with NIGHTWISH will not last very long:
Floor: “No. And whether this is in NIGHTWISH or in anything with anyone in everyone’s lives, what guarantees do you have? So it’s just about what you make of it and with the chemistry that you believe in. And I believe in the chemistry that we have today, ’cause it’s been very strong since the beginning and grew to be better throughout the months. It’s still a very recent thing. But what feels good now, that’s where you should go from, and that’s what I do.”
Finnish symphonic metallers NIGHTWISH will release their new DVD, “Showtime, Storytime”, on November 29 as a limited 2Blu-ray + 2CD digipack, limited 2DVD + 2CD digipack, limited 2CD digipack, 2LP (colored) in gatefold and an exclusive Nuclear Blast mailorder edition.
“Showtime, Storytime” contains NIGHTWISH‘s entire August 3 performance at the Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany. The show, which was played in the front of 85,000 screaming metalheads, was directed by Ville Lipiäinen, filmed with seventeen cameras and has a total running time of 85 minutes. The second disc consists of a 120-minute tour documentary, “Please Learn The Setlist In 48 Hours”, also directed by Ville Lipiäinen, with no shortage of drama or overall madness. Also, there is a 16-minute NIGHTWISH Table Hockey Tournament, filmed on tour. In addition, there are two music clips: “I Want My Tears Back” (live at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland) and “Ghost Love Score” (live in Buenos Aires).
The Wacken Open Air appearance was the first of the three final shows of NIGHTWISH‘s “Imaginaerum World Tour”, which saw the band and their Dutch singer Floor Jansen (REVAMP, ex-AFTER FOREVER) playing 104 concerts in 34 different countries, with a total audience of over 1.5 million fans around the globe.
Commented NIGHTWISH mastermind and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen: “Our darling flying Dutchwoman, Floor Jansen, has been nothing but incredible during her time in NIGHTWISH on this tour, so this is a perfect opportunity to immortalize the current vibe of the band on film!”

Marco appears as ”The Rival” on the new album from Ayreon titled ”The Theory Of Everything”.
The man himself says: When Arjen (Lucassen) asked me if I was interested in doing a role on his latest Ayreon concept album, I immediately said yes. It´s great that someone still does independent prog, rock and metal albums of quality totally out of the mainstream. I have, and I´ve been listening to previous albums of Ayreon myself a lot!
Marco has also been a long time member of ”Raskasta Joulua” (Heavy Christmas) project in Finland. There´s plenty of other familiar faces from Finnish metal scene in the project also. They are starting their shows in Finland within two weeks. Here´s the link to their new video ”Tulkoon Joulu” (Let Christmas Come):
