Kalevala Jewelry, in collaboration with NIGHTWISH, is launching a new jewelry collection “Evolution Series by Nightwish”. Since spring, Nightwish’s lead singer, the Dutch soprano Floor Jansen, has lent her face to Kalevala Jewelry. Now the collaboration is being taken one step further with the launch of the jewelry collection Evolution Series by Nightwish, created together with the band.
The new jewelry collection accompanies the theme of the rich diversity of life – as on Nightwish’s album “Endless Forms Most Beautiful”. It is something that the band’s founder, musician Tuomas Holopainen, emphasizes in the collaboration.
“From the start, it was important for the band that when we start to create a jewelry collection it should in some way reflect the theme of our new album. The message on the album is associated with the endless variety of all living things on our planet: we are one, made out of the same DNA, of the same matter. It’s an extremely beautiful and humbling fact, which we wish to bring out in the album. The same theme is also present in the new jewelry collection.”
The Evolution Series by Nightwish collection includes two different silver pendants and a bracelet. The larger pendant has been inspired by the form of the fossil of the ancient marine animal, the ammonite. The smaller pendant echoes the spiral form of DNA.
Launched to shops in mid-October, pre-sale of the jewelry collection starts in the official Nightwish shop (shop.nightwish.com) on August 18. Pre-sale of the jewelry collection, as well as of the numbered, limited edition gold charm starts in Kalevala Jewelry’s online store on September 1. The jewelry collection will also be sold on Nightwish’s World Tour.
Right before the European leg of the “Endless Forms Most Beautiful” tour kicks off, NIGHTWISH announce a strictly limited (no re-prints!), special tour edition of their current record, coming with a bonus DVD, out on October 30th via Nuclear Blast.
The DVD contains all 21 making-of episodes, which came along before, during and after the album release. Besides those, the DVD includes two new, unreleased live clips for “Yours Is An Empty Hope” and “Stargazers” as well as five special clips incl. documentary scenes for the songs “Planet Hell”, “Last Of The Wilds”, “Storytime”, “Arabesque” and “Last Ride Of The Day”. On top, there will be a huge photo gallery with more than 400 pictures, taken on the road and during the promotional period of “Endless Forms Most Beautiful”.

Finland-based symphonic metal masters NIGHTWISH have reached fantastic worldwide chart positions for their new album Endless Forms Most Beautiful, on Nuclear Blast. The band is currently on tour in the US along with their label mates SABATON as well as DELAIN.
Today NIGHTWISH reveal the 17th episode from the album making-of series, talking about tour rehearsals, offering an insight on those exciting days before the tour kicked off in New York.
Watch the seventeenth episode on the Nuclear Blast YouTube channel:
Tuomas Holopainen commented on building the set list for tour:
“For example, “Sleeping Sun“ is in the set because it’s one of Floor‘s favorite songs. It’s perfect for her voice and it’s nice to play it after all these years.“Stargazers“ was another one I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s real fun to play. In general, we play songs that we enjoy playing, not the stuff we feel we must play.“
