Nuclear Blast Europe rep Felix has issued the following NIGHTWISH-related announcement:

"The Facebook Fan interview merges to Rounds 2 and 3. By commenting to this post (scroll down) you have the chance to ask both BATTLE BEAST and Nightwish whatever you always wanted to know from them. I will then meet the bands for the interview in which I am going to ask them (some of) your questions! So go ahead and bombard me with your questions! Please write the name of the band first, Battle Beast or Nightwish, in order to make sure I ask the right band, as both interviews will be on the same day

The deadline for your questions is Friday, May 4th. The result will be up on our Facebook page later the following week."

Nightwish recently checked in with the following update:
