Shudder Before The Beautiful - Official Track

17.3.2015.



     "The core of "Shudder Before The Beautiful" lies in moments such as gazing at The Milky Way on a cold winter's night, seeing a photo of our Planet Earth, "a pale blue dot" taken by Voyager 1 as a tiny oasis in the unfathomable vastness of space, or when listening to music which momentarily takes away all woe and time.
And sharing those moments with people you love." - Tuomas / Nightwish

"We wanted to present our upcoming album`s opening track "Shudder Before The Beautiful" for everyone to listen to before the album`s release in cooperation with the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat. Bringing together the most trustworthy Finnish media with a song about universal awe was a match made in heaven in its uniqueness.

Endless Forms Most Beautiful - Episode 13:The Recordings For Floor & Kai

Endless Forms Most Beautiful - Episode 12:The Theme Of The Album

27.2.2015.



     Tuomas comments: “There’s a kind of scientific approach to a lot of things on the album. Songs like ‘Shudder Before The Beautiful’, ‘Endless Forms Most Beautiful’, ‘The Greatest Show On Earth’ or ‘Alpenglow’ all somehow reflect the bliss of existence. It’s temporary character. Evolution…Maybe you could even talk about the poetic nature of science. Natural science and its paradigm – seem to represent something cold and boring to a lot of people. Hopefully we can illustrate with this album – that science can even be something profoundly spiritual.”

     Stand-in drummer Kai Hahto adds: “It’s a perfect theme to an album. Like, how did we come to be? And when our time here is done, what kind of mark do we leave? It’s a pretty amazing theme.”
