Interview with Tuomas Holopainen & Kai Hahto about Nightwish's "Human. :II: Nature." 

The moment you hear Tuomas himself say "You get hypnotized by Floor's singing"So great

I just can’t wait to hear arrangements specifically written for Floor’s voice.

Tuomas: “It’s not like I was a dictator and whipping them...” 😂

Tuomas Lauri Johannes Holopainen is to Music as what Einstein was to Science, a Phenomenon of our time .

My god Tuomas is a genius. What a great interview, can't wait for the album. He must be one of a kind on the planet creating music like this.

Tuomas is truly the 'mad scientist' but in the best sense of the phrase. It must be a marvelous feeling suddenly watching the images and ideas coalesce into a framework for a song, then as he said he derives immense pleasure presenting the new material to the rest of the band to see their initial reaction and then pick their professional and creative minds to flesh out the tracks to their finished forms. Tuomas knows what his friends can accomplish and he certainly challenges them to their professional best. It would be a logical step for him to score films, documentaries, TV ect when Nightwish runs its course. But for now hurry up April!

When even Tuomas (the brain and hero of Nightwish) says that he was hypnotized by Floor... well, nothing else to add!!!

The moment you hear that everyone pushed themselves to the limit but you already know that Kai has already gone beyond the limit with Wintersun!! Looking forward to the new album, I am sure it will be great!

I can already see that Tuomas is very satisfied with this album! Oh my god I can't wait 😁

"It's an album for singers" YES I'M SO HYPED!

So Tuomas went full "Mozart" on the second disc. I honestly cannot wait.

After watching this I am even more thrilled and impatient than I already was... 😫

If Kai must stretch himself, it must be something really crazy. Time to order it and wait for the delivery girl }:->

Only 6 more days until the 1st single.

'Vocally oriented album' omg yesss 😍

Nightwish army is here

It's not something you hear every day: "we couldn't fit all the music onto one CD" just as casually as Toumas says it hahaha. And I mean, what a treat for us, THAT much music? Yes please!

That’s saying something if the top dog says that Floor’s singing hypnotizes him ! I guess the audience or the fans aren’t the only ones that realize there’s something special about Floor ! that when she steps on the stage , the kids/ the old /the animals and everybody pays attention, and becomes mesmerized and hypnotized and everything else, this band is incredible and truly unique💝💝💝

Tuomas is a genius. And the whole band is just great. can't add nothing more. thank you NW, the greatest band on earth.

Good job again, Arto! Long live Kaaos TV! \m/ But still, watching Tuomas so tired and visibly suffering from a headache, makes me hope someone hugged him and slipped him a bottle of wine and a pillow at the end of this! Now it's more clear than ever how hard working and uncompromising these guys are! And for the sake of their well-being, I really hope they don't push themselves too hard, considering how they've been steadily getting bigger and bigger for nearly 25 years and now even the sky's not the limit anymore. That dedication they mentioned really sets them apart and makes me care even more deeply for them as human beings!

Interviewer: Why? Why? Tuomas: It's human nature

I look more forward to this album with every article and interview.

This man is a freaking genius...Dont let Nightwish project never end

Arto: "Where did the idea to the video came from?" Tuomas: "From the lyric of the song." Next question please!

The musicians and vocalists will no doubt change/evolve, but make no mistake..Tuomas is the CPU that pulls all that hardware together into something really, really, really special.

I am sure a lot of my friends are watching right now ;) Nightdreamer´s Reacticide has to be around :) Nice Interview by the way :)

In our hearts..forever..maestro Tumoas, long live Nightwish!!!

I can't wait to hear the new album, and I can't wait to see Nightwish live again! No one does it better than Nightwish:)

1st!!! Great, it is in english. I was worried it wouldn't be. Wonderful interview!

I would love to get drunk with the Nightwish crew in their basecamp.

So excited for the new album. Basically it’s part 2 of EFMB and the continuous of human evolution and life. I’m so honored to live in the era of Tuomas and his genius songwriting

Yet again there's already one person who obviously thinks that the thumb down symbol is for downloading the video as it's a mystery to me why somebody would dislike this interview.

Floor told Tuomas to do something and he did it, good to hear ❤❤❤

“We left out the full orchestra for the first 9 songs” My heart just dropped.

I was kinda sad at first about Kai being too busy to drum with Wintersun but he seems like he has really great chemistry and friendship with Tuomas and the rest of Nightwish, and I couldn't be happier for him! Really looking forward to the new album.

Wow! no orchestra with the band this time! full orchestral piece from Tuomas! have not fulfilled the full potential of the 3 singers! 3 part harmony on every track! man this one is gonna be Different! long media day. just a small part of the enormous work that goes into an album. whole team giving their all.

I still live in my own conspiracy that it is "Endless forms most beautiful human nature...." That the next album will somehow continue the sentence.

...every single chorus in 3 harmonies...… nice.

Tuomas is a man who will never let real music die. Just one of the many reasons I love Nightwish.

Love letter to planet Earth. I need this album.

YES! Greatest band in the world! I can't wait. 💜💜💜💜💜

Quality over quantity, in everything :)

Great to watch, thanks! Now it's all about killing time untill it's April 10th...

Oh, boy... I can't wait to get this album on my hands!

the theme of humanity that Nightwish uses for their inspiration is one of the best in rock today. Change my mind

Great to know all this good news.. great to enjoy all the members' talents.. Big shout to Jukka as well.. We miss you ..

Great interview! 🕉🙏🏻❤️

I secretly believe Tuomas is the reincarnation of Mozart.. If Mozart would live in this time, he would compose symphonic metal too ! I love both Nightwish and Mozart

Uhh... Tuomas composing and arranging to push the whole band to their limits (keeping in mind how high the limits of this band are...) sounds like something I cannot wait to hear.

Excellent interview. Really interesting. Thank you 😎 Totally stoked now! Cannot wait for this new album. And people seriously chill! Tuomos said there is not the FULL orchestra for the first 9 tracks, not there is not ANY orchestra! Don't worry! It's still going to be EPIC as hell, complete with string section backing. And Tuomas mega ultimate instrumental piece for the second CD? Hell Yes!!! 🤘😱😎💥🔥⚡️😍😱🤘

I love that the Interviewer wears a Rammstein T-Shirt 👍😍 my two favourit Bands together in one Video 😉

one of my favourite songs from nightwish is from imaginaerum the score-album, so i'm really excited about new instrumentals songs! this is going to be something really unique and beautiful. ✨

Again a great talented interview by the Kaaos TV and awesome news by Tuomas and Kai.

Tuomas is a fu*king genius

It's great to hear that Floor is still the vocalist in Nightwish. I haven't been up to date on Nightwish's music lately.

Bought tickets for the tour to see them live in Düsseldorf. Im hyped.

As always it will be a great musical material...Congrats!!!!

Kai excellent drumming on The Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean live . Keeping the double bass going with those fast fills. Tony from Northen Michigan U.S

I wonder if the genius Tuomas is a fan of Tim Burton because most of his works are gothic fantasy inspired.

Amazing to get a new album and a new tour. I already have a ticket and going to preorder the album🤘

what is it? 25 years or so? and Tuomas still gets shy every time he has to speak English :D love em

I've never been so excited for an album in a long time!!

I think I see Rammstein t shirt guy who do interview

well....it s gonna be a long wait.....

Tuomas Holopainen is the love child of Jack Sparrow and Aragorn

Great interview. I'm insanely can't wait for their new album masterpiece 🤟👀

Tuomas is not the Mozart of symphonic metal, but Jean Sibelius. Nightwish's music has the same Finnish character as Sibelius's Finlandia and symphonies.

Great interview, but was anyone else surprised at a professional TV company filming the sound man in the mirror the whole time?

The Tuoma's voice tone shows immediately whos is the smartest person in the room.

Thumbnail looks like Tuomas is interviewing Kai about Time II and the next WS crowdfund XD

I was listening Higher than Hope before watch interview, can't wait to hear it! Nightwish in Sao Paulo, I'll be there!!!

Really good questions from the interviewer, they were interesting!

Really looking forward to seeing/hearing them in Rockfest, Tampere, Finland next June. I live about 1 km from the venue! (Also planning to offer a modest Airbnb room (a basement home theater with a mini kitchen) to any well-behaving interested.)

I Will buy the new album!🤘🎸🎤🎼

These guys must be so exhausted. Thank you Nightwish!

I love them and maybe, just maybe, I love allll finnish people ;-} - Have much respect, always had, for finnish people....it's a feeling. Maybe the intelligence and inner peace?

Cant wait for this!

i'm already loving this album

I have nothing to say but I can't wait for it! They're gonna be here in Brazil in May but it's so expensive 😭 probably because of taxes. Almost $100 just the ticket for the concert

The Hype is real!!

The album held great promise when I heard "Noise". But the rest of it was a big letdown. I guess all bands go through their phases. But it's time for Nightwish to drop the "forest fairy music " and return to METAL. I mean seriously, you got the best metal singer and bass player around and great guitarist too.

Love for nightwish

I just realized I saw the interviewer at a Queen concert a few weeks back when they ended the tour in Tampere. I mean we met and talked and I even got his number since he seemed like a good guy and I sent him some pictures of the concert. Wild to think he has interviewed people like this.

Although I miss the escapistic fantasy vibe that Nightwish used to have up until Imaginaerum, still hyped af for the new upcoming stuff!

I put tuomas up there with jon Lord..

Toumas Holopainen a great musician Nightwish ever cheers from México

I like the way Thuomos thinks. :)

This is the genius of this band Tuomos. Not only are all the members highly talented, but he seems to know just how far he can push the talents available to him.

Obviously it is gonna be a good album. He is just a genius. But sincerely i'm a bit worried about the 9 songs without orchestra sound in the back, at least in some parts. Can't imagine now a Nightwish album without the orchestra in the background. But let's wait for it. I'm excited

"Keep rocking!", Ha ha, Kai never has any wise words at the end of an interview. I love it!

I really hope they pull one out of the hat with this one...Vocals are limitless, so the rest will decide. Tuomas, no pressure. It's a good angle on this album for sure..

Does this also mean that floor only participated on the tracks with vocals or did she also work on the instrumental parts?

Wait the one hour epic is entirely instrumental?

Thanks for this interview!! Really interesting! Love your work Kaaos TV. Greetings from Chile

So the final song is going to be nothing but orchestra with no singing? That's what it sounds like.

Now I'm getting really curious. 😜😁💪🤘🙏

Pieni tekninen tippi. Ei kannata IKINÄ kuvata (eikä nykyään myöskään tarvitse) video matskua 1080i (interlaced) vaan AINA 1080p (progressive). Toi matsku on aika amatööri laatua ja snadisti häiritsevää kun kuva rippaantuu. Sen poistaminen poustissa onnistuu, esim. Premierillä mutta se on pain in the ass duunii. Hyvä haastis muuten :)

Genius in Action

Ok. Let's prepare for the new wave on reaction videos

Well obviously it is an exceptional album coming. I hope that it will not be too difficult to play Live!
