Guitar player Esa Holopainen comments:
"With our 12th studio album we finally made it to TOP 10 in Germany. In most of territories we beated our previous chart entries in these times when there's tons of albums released every week and artists are struggling with sales. This is absolute hats off and humblest salute to our fans. Feels unbelivable, thank you."
