Description
On vinyl and for a short time with instrumental version or live album from 2005 as bonus disc, in 2CD Digibook and 4CD Earbook format - while stocks last!
"Once I had a dream, and this is it" ... The first line of an album that would not only change the lives of a bunch of young Finnish musicians with fire in their hearts and an ocean of melodies in their souls. An album that would not only influence thousands of people around the world. "Once", NIGHTWISH's fifth studio album, which saw the light of day on June 7, 2004, completely changed the metal world and made the band living legends.
Today, NIGHTWISH pay tribute to the masterpiece they gave to the world 17 years ago and announce the re-release of "Once" as a remastered version with bonus tracks in the different formats.
Maestro Tuomas Holopainen comments: "Nostalgia is a strong feeling. It's not hard for me to remember the days around the release of the album. The excitement, the ambition, the camaraderie, the glorious tour behind us, all that was ready to take the band to a new level, musically and humanly.
"Once" is not only the band's most successful album, but also the beginning of the long-lasting collaboration between Nuclear Blast Records and NIGHTWISH - a strong bond that still exists today. The album achieved number one placements in the German, Finnish, Norwegian and Greek album charts and reached triple platinum status in Finland for more than 90,000 CDs sold, triple gold status in Germany for more than 300,000 CDs sold and gold status in Switzerland, Austria and Norway.
