73: Deggael Communications, 2007. 1st Edition. Soft Cover. Text in English. 329 pp.
The official and definitive biography by Mape Ollila, finally in English! Meet Nightwish - the "shitty band with shitty equipment and no commercial potential" from Kitee, Finland, that turned out to be a Platinum-selling, trend-setting international musical phenomenon. This is their story, as told by Tuomas, Tarja, Emppu, Jukka, Sami, and Marco themselves; a tale of a Disney dreamer and a drama queen; of frowning Finns, exhibitionist roadies, eccentric producers, cursed bassists, faith healers, death threats, behind-the-scenes battles, managerial mayhem, fame and fortune, loss and lament - and music that captured the hearts and minds of the world. Mape Ollila is a long-time music editor and a Metal fan who has followed the career of Nightwish from the beginning and travelled with the band all over the world. Over four years in the making, Once Upon A Nightwish lovingly but revealingly chronicles the triumphs and tragedies of the first nine years of this unique band, their on-the-road antics as well as their silent, personal musings - and the true reasons behind Tarja's departure. Fine. Item #4825
