Nightwish Feel 'Violated' By Music Leak


. (Prog) Nightwish mainman Tuomas Holopainen says he and the band felt "violated" after their track Elan was leaked last week. The song was posted online ahead of its official release- a move which angered the group, leading them to make fans aware of their displeasure on Facebook and call out the individual responsible. This sparked a lengthy and heated debate resulting in the band issuing a statement explaining their position.

Holopainen tells TeamRock: "When Elan was leaked, the whole band was really upset and we ended up being vocal about it. Now I look back at the whole thing, I think it's good that we brought this thing into the daylight because it's a big problem these days. Not because of money but because it kills the mystery.

"Maybe we could have taken a little breather before acting in the heat of the moment. Looking back, I would have done a few things differently. But you just felt so violated - even though it's very common and happens to almost all bands, but that's not the point - it's still wrong." Read more here.
