Description

Limited earbook with three cds

Endless Forms Most Beautiful is the first Nightwish album to feature Dutch vocalist Floor Jansen. The famed evolutionary biologist and writer, Professor Richard Dawkins is a guest on this eighth studio album. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, 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. Charles Darwin, The origin of species. This classic quote is where it all began. We set sail for the ultimate journey with this album, join us. – Tuomas Holopainen
