Nightwish's New Single Leaks


. (Prog) Finnish outfit Nightwish have issued a statement regarding an online leak of their forthcoming single, Elan. The song has surfaced in advance of its scheduled February 13 release via Nuclear Blast. It will be featured on the band's eighth album, Endless Forms Most Beautiful, which will be out on March 30.

Nightwish alerted fans with a Facebook post identifying one source of the leak, which initiated an intense debate among readers. The band explains: "Our intention was not necessarily to attack an individual person, but to raise awareness that spreading unreleased property through internet is not something that any artist would like to see happen. This is about our musical property and the abuse of it. This kind of thing causes irreparable harm to countless people working in the music industry worldwide. Not only for the band."

Mainman Tuomas Holopainen further commented on the reaction with a statement encouraging fans to avoid the song until its official release on Friday. Read that here.
