NIGHTWISH Founder TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - "I Pretty Much Have The Concept Of The New Album In My Head Already"

NIGHTWISH keyboardist / founder Tuomas Holopainen is featured in a new interview with UK-based FemaleFirst.com. An excerpt is available below.
Q: What made you decide to record the latest DVD, Made In Hong Kong (and various other places)?
Tuomas: "It was actually an idea that came form the label and to be honest I wasn't the most happy person when I heard this idea, but it's going to be a long break between full length albums so they thought we needed something new, and also to promote the European tour with a new release and since we don't have anything new in our hands we decided to do this live EP which would have some additional stuff on. So that's why it ended up being Made In Hong Kong (and various other places), because there is probably one song that's recorded in Hong Kong and the rest of the live songs are from around the world."
Q: Is there any new material in the pipeline?
Tuomas: "Not any time soon, I'm afraid, but I'm working on new material all the time and I actually feel like my head is exploding with new ideas. I pretty much have the concept of the new album in my head already but it's going to take a year before we start working on it full-time because we are not the type of band who can concentrate on two things at the same time. Right now we need to get this tour over with, then maybe take a little break and then start work on the new album."
