Finnish symphonic metallers Nightwish have checked in with the following update:

The book Marco Hietala - Ruostumaton will tell the story of Marco Hietala with all its joys and sorrows, successes and adversities. Finnish edition is now available for pre-order at this location. All pre-ordered books will be autographed. Information about the English edition will follow."

2016 was a triumphant year for Delain with the release of their EP Lunar Prelude, their latest full length Moonbathers, relentless touring and the celebrations of their 10 year anniversary in a sold out Paradiso, which will appear on live DVD/Blu-ray.

Celebrating what has been an incredible year and making 2017 a worthy successor, Delain announce a very special run of shows for October 2017, dubbed the Danse Macabre tour.

Joining the band for this exclusive set of dates is long-time friend and collaborator, Nightwish lynchpin Marco Hietala. Having contributed to most of Delain's records with guest appearances and after worldwide requests from fans, Delain and Hietala will now storm the stage together on the Danse Macabre tour.

These shows will feature a specially selected set list of rarely heard Delain songs, a sneak preview of new material, special effects and much more. Danse Macabre promises to be a spectacular evening with Delain!
