Vehicle Of Spirit 19/3/17

Conservation biologist Jukka Salmela of Metsähallitus Parks & Wildlife Finland recently discovered a new insect species in his home country and while remembering Tuomas Holopainen's love for nature, he decided to name it "Sciophila holopaineni" after Nightwish's keyboarder and songwriter! After the release of the band's latest album 'Endless Forms Most Beautiful' in 2015, Holopainen has been known as person being highly interested in evolution and the diversity of nature. So far, this particular fungus gnat has only been spotted in eastern Lapland, Finland, and lives in shadowy environments. After releasing their double-DVD 'Vehicle Of Spirit', Nightwish (Vid Of The Day) are currently taking a year off to find inspiration and write new songs, with the Symphonic Metal legends planning to return in 2018.
