NIGHTWISH release new single 'lan' on

February 13th 2015!

2014-12-08 - Finland-based symphonic metal storytellers NIGHTWISH are currently working on

their upcoming new album, which is set for a release in spring 2015 via Nuclear Blast.
Today NIGHTWISH announces the release of their first single called 'lan', which will be out on
February 13, 2015 via Nuclear Blast.
Oh, while I live to be the ruler of life, Not a slave
To meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.
- Walt Whitman
Commented NIGHTWISH keyboardist and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen: This beautiful
quote from my hero Uncle Walt was the starting point for writing 'lan'. The underlying theme of
the song is nothing less than the meaning of life, which can be something different for all of us.
Its important to surrender yourself to the occasional 'free fall' and not to fear the path less
travelled by. 'lan' is a wonderful teaser for the full-length album, giving out a little taste, but
revealing very little of the actual Journey of Grandeur to come
