Enjoy the ride, as NIGHTWISH take you on a trip to where the magic happens: Settled right in the middle of the beautiful wintery landscape of Eno, Finland, band members and sound staff gather round the long table of "the Cabin" to discuss every aspect, relevant for the making of NIGHTWISH album #8. So far the bands' mastermind, keyboardist and visionary composer Tuomas Holopainen and sound engineer Tero "TeeCee" Kinnunen recorded demo version of 12 songs.

Commented Tuomas Holopainen: "From the moment I start writing the song, I have the story in my head. I have a really clear vision how the songs should sound like at this point. Of course they will chance after band rehearsals and arranging. And they should change!"
