Endless Forms Most Beautiful is the eighth album by Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish. It was released on March 27, 2015 in the EU and Argentina, on March 30 in the UK and on March 31 in the US.
With Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Nightwish have created what could well be the defining album of their career. A brave and sprawling work, approaching an hour and a half in length, it effortlessly combines elements of folk and classical with heavy metal. A relatively new recruit to the band after the departure of Anette Olzon, Floor Jansen has already proved popular with fans—here she provides beguiling vocals reaching the operatic, perfectly complementing the complex arrangements of songwriter Tuomas Holopaine.
