Nightwish have a few things to share today. First, before the European leg of the Endless Forms Most Beautiful tour kicks off, the band announces the release of a strictly limited (no re-prints), special tour edition of their current record, coming with a bonus DVD, out on October 30th via Nuclear Blast. Moreover, Kalevala Koru (Jewelry), in collaboration with Nightwish, is launching a new jewelry collection called Evolution Series by Nightwish.

The DVD contains all 21 making-of episodes, which came along before, during and after the album release. Besides those, the DVD includes two new, unreleased live clips for "Yours Is An Empty Hope" and "Stargazers" as well as five special clips including documentary scenes for the songs "Planet Hell", "Last Of The Wilds", "Storytime", "Arabesque" and "Last Ride Of The Day". On top of that, there will be a huge photo gallery with more than 400 pictures, taken on the road and during the promotional period of the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful.

Since spring, Nightwish's lead singer, the Dutch Floor Jansen, has lent her face to Kalevala Koru jewelry. Now the collaboration is being taken one step further with the launch of the jewelry collection Evolution Series by Nightwish, created together with the band.

The new jewelry collection accompanies the theme of the rich diversity of life - as on Nightwish's album Endless Forms Most Beautiful. It is something that the band's founder, musician Tuomas Holopainen, emphasizes in the collaboration. "From the start, it was important for the band that when we start to create a jewelry collection it should in some way reflect the theme of our new album. The message on the album is associated with the endless variety of all living things on our planet: we are one, made out of the same DNA, of the same matter. It's an extremely beautiful and humbling fact, which we wish to bring out in the album. The same theme is also present in the new jewelry collection."

The Evolution Series by Nightwish collection includes two different silver pendants and a bracelet. The larger pendant has been inspired by the form of the fossil of the ancient marine animal, the ammonite. The smaller pendant echoes the spiral form of DNA.

Launched to shops in mid-October, pre-sale of the jewelry collection started in the official Nightwish shop on August 18th, and in Kalevala Jewelry's online store on September 1st. The jewelry collection will also be sold on Nightwish's European Tour.
