The unorthodox mixture of classical Symphony and violent Death/Doom Metal might not be suitable to everybody at first sight. By combinating it with modern dance, light und stage show it merges to something unique, which nobody can ignore. Auli Räsänen / Helsingin Sanomat: "After all the visual firework loaded with various symbols Evangelicum left me - a middle-aged woman - wondering what´s it all about?"

Produzent Pekka Rahkonen: "In addition we have Tarja Turunen´s (Nightwish) crystalclear, heavenly voice and the power of Sibelius High School´s Symphony Orchestra and Choir."

Tarja Tarja Turunen has studied at the Savonlinna Upper Secondary School for the Arts and the Kuopio Department of the Sibelius Academy. She has managed to combine a classical background with heavy metal. She has been the soloist with Nightwish since 1997. This band has released two albums, Angels Fall First in 1997 and Oceanborn in 1998; the latter has already gone gold in Finland. In summer 1999, Nightwish made over 60 appearances in Finland.
