NIGHTWISH – release live clip ‘Alpenglow’ from ‘Vehicle Of Spirit’

We were here!” – once again, NIGHTWISH carve their name into the walls of music history and after touring for a year and a half throughout every corner of the world, their time has come to immortalize the »Endless Forms Most Beautiful World Tour 2015 – 2016« on DVD. On December 9th, the symphonic metal visionaries are set to release their new live milestone »Vehicle Of Spirit«, featuring not only two full concerts, but also plenty of bonus material. Today, they unveil a second appetizer with their live hymn ‘Alpenglow’. Watch the capturing clip from their show at Wembley Arena below.

Sold out arenas and spectacular shows with never before seen pyro effects, wind machines, video screens and of course NIGHTWISH’s incomparable melodies are the elements that made their latest tour so unique. Special highlights for the band have been two particular shows though:

The one in London, where they not only played their hymns such as ‘Élan’ and the majestic ‘The Greatest Show On Earth’ to more than 12.000 fans, but also welcomed the world famous scientist Richard Dawkins live on stage with them. Richard Dawkins´ works had a massive impact on the thematical orientation of their latest studio album ”Endless Forms Most Beautiful”. Finland’s Tampere show however was a home run for the band and never before NIGHTWISH had such an immense stage production with them:

“I would say the main part of the DVD are those two shows, both Wembley and Tampere. Wembley is mentioned first due to its recognizability and legendary status. I remember the show being very special, both a goal achieved, and a starting point. The crowd was heartwarming. The presence of Richard Dawkins on stage was just mind-blowing. The overall experience was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill ride! The show in Ratina Stadion, Tampere, was a home crowd specialty (for 4/6th of the band) with the biggest stage production we’ve ever had. A lovely atmosphere throughout the concert, with many same faces in the front row as there were 15 years ago. Heartfelt.”
