ORDER AT:

SHOWTIME, STORYTIME is out now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.

Directed by Ville Lipiäinen.

What better way to conclude the year as to recapture one of its outstanding highlights by revisiting Finnish Symphonic Metal legends NIGHTWISH taking the likewise legendary Wacken Open Air by storm? After being decorated with triple platinum status in Finland as well as gold status in numerous European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Poland, among others) for their most current studio masterpiece »Imaginaerum« and following the highly successful release of their very own fantasy motion picture »Imaginaerum by Nightwish«, the band is closing in its cycle of the `Imaginaerum World Tour´ with a festival triple -- Wacken Open Air being the first of those final shows. The `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2013-2013 visited in 34 countries, consisted of 104 shows with total audience attendance of over 1,5 million fans.
And what would be a better way to celebrate the grand finale as to capture the entire show at Wacken Open Air -- the world's biggest heavy metal festival -- for a live DVD/Blu-ray? The live show in the front of 85 000 screaming metalheads was directed by Ville Lipiäinen, filmed with seventeen cameras and has a total duration of 85 minutes.
Mastermind and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen states:

"The time has come soon to wrap up the magical & memorable one-and-a-half year `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013! We still have three shows left, one of them being at the legendary Wacken Open Air Metal Festival on the 3rd of August. This show will be something extra special, since it will be released later this year on DVD/Blu-ray, together with a massive `Imaginaerum World Tour´ 2012-2013 documentary. Our darling flying Dutchwoman, Floor Jansen, has been nothing but incredible during her time in Nightwish on this tour, so this is a perfect opportunity to immortalize the current vibe of the band on film! "

The second disc consists of 120-minute tour documentary 'Please Learn The Setlist in 48 Hours', with no short of drama or overall madness. Also, there is a 16-minute NIGHTWISH Table Hockey Tournament, filmed on tour. On top of this there are two music clips: 'I want my tears back' (Live at Hartwall Arena) and 'Ghost Love Score' (Live in Buenos Aires).

[FloorJansenOfficial]

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments!!

Nightwish: Drums- Pirate, bass- Viking, guitar- Elf, keys- Dark Wizard, and lead vocals...

[AlphaWolfHowl]

Annette sounded like an adorable little girl singing this. Floor sounds like a valkarie leading an army. And I love both versions.

[nws]

Jukka is such a beast. What a phenomenal drummer!

[AngelDvA]

Her body language is perfect, the presence she has on stage is mesmerizing...

[ieradossantos]

2:26 His eyes light up because he knows its incredible what she's doing, he wrote a masterpiece and she does it better than he imagined. That is this look

[leinadhertz]

For me, Floor is by far the best choice for Nightwish. The reason for this is that Floor sings with incredible versatility. There are very, very few singers in the world who are as extremely versatile as this woman. But that doesn't mean that I automatically think Tarja or Anette are bad singers. Absolutely not, its just the fact that they doesn't manage to fill the range like Floor. Floor Jansen is unique and a phenomenon. It can hardly be described in words, you just feel it. And as an added bonus, she is also extremely likeable and warm-hearted as a human being. Simply a perfect mix.

[randolfocordero]

a Singing Valkyrie / Amazon, a Viking on Bass, a Dark Magician on keyboards, a Pirate on Batarie and an Elf on Guitar, just perfection.

[berniehand]

I am 74 and just learned of nightwish, and am completely hooked on them. I must have been in a coma for the past 24 years. Wow wow wow.

[llcruize]

Absolutely love at the 3:40 mark when Floor could have easily just let the pre-recorded choir do the singing, like what was done for the original recording, but instead, Floor sings the part herself rather than relying on the pre-recorded bit. THAT is why I love this woman being in the band.

[nuttydishwasher]

What I like about Floor is that not ONLY is she a great vocalist, but she also knows how to bring it.
When she sings she really tells a story with her intonation of the lyrics as well as with her body language.
She is what I call "the complete package."

[simonegianardi]

Nightwish Wacken 2013. One of the all time best live performance ever.

[Comedycuts]

With all respact to Nightwish, this was all about Floor. What a performance, never seen any woman do anything quite like this. Pure artist, the best female vocalist ive even seen. Floor Jansen you will be known for all eternity.

[sloveniafarm]

Is it just me or does anybody else just love how floor headbangs

[cyborgnj]

If I could go back in time, this is the concert I'd want to be at.

Who's still watching this in July 2020?

[seangagnonProvidenceR.I.]

Floor’s epic voice is quite possibly the greatest musical instrument I’ve ever heard in my lifetime !

[nswhorse]

I've never seen a more energetic drummer than Jukka. Hopefully he conquers his health problems and returns to performing with the band.

[PeterG]

Wow that drummer is a pure maniac, I love it

[ronduncan]

she is fantastic!   vocals are …HUGE   .    Powerfull is an understatement

[eDWICHt]

They were on fire that night, weren't they?
The whole band is f'ing killing it.
