Nuclear Blast Europe reports:
"Last Friday (July 27th) a huge crowd pilgrimed to the home of Nuclear Blast in Donzdorf, a small town near Göppingen, to join the signing session of successful band NIGHTWISH.As recently announced, bandleader Tuomas Holopainen and new vocalist Anette Olzon intended to allow close contact with photos and autographs to their disciples for a range of one hour. The crowd was expected to not exceed a number of 500 people, but in short time about 1,000 people were waiting in front of the label office to see the two band members.
The loyal Nightwish fans even travelled from countries like Norway and Italy to the rural area to gain one of the signatures in great demand.
The two successful musicians, their management and even the Nuclear Blast crew confessed, to never before have seen something like that in such a vast extent. Nevertheless Anette and Tuomas were patient and generous enough to give an autograph to every single attendee, so, of course, they had to stay for much more than two hours.
During the event the delighted audience could have the exclusive privilege to listen to the new album Dark Passion Play and to receive a first impression of the new voice of Nightwish. This way, the long wait to the album release on September 28th was sweetened to the fans.
