Endless Forms Most Beautiful is the eighth studio album by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. It was released on March 27, 2015 in Argentina and most of Europe, March 30 in the U K, and March 31 in the U S. The album is the band's first featuring singer Floor Jansen and the first with Troy Donockley as a full time member.
Reidolized ( The Soundtrack to The Crimson Idol) is not a revisionist gimmick — it is a reclamation. Released decades after the original The Crimson Idol (1992), this version presents Blackie Lawless’s intended vision in its complete form, restoring narrative elements, dialogue, and structural cohesion that were previously constrained by label pressure and format limitations.
The central idea of The Headless Children is not subtle — humanity without conscience, societies driven by ideology rather than empathy, and individuals reduced to instruments of power.
Released in 1992, The Crimson Idol is widely regarded as W. A. S. P.’s masterpiece and one of the most ambitious concept albums in heavy metal history. Conceived and written by Blackie Lawless, the album tells the tragic story of Jonathan Steel, a misunderstood young musician whose rise to fame is driven by rejection, obsession, and a desperate need for approval. Beneath the narrative, the album functions as a deeply personal reflection on fame, isolation, and the emotional cost of success.
“ Into the Fire” is one of the standout tracks from W. A. S. P.’s 2009 album Babylon, a concept driven record heavily influenced by biblical symbolism, prophecy, and themes of judgment, corruption, and inner struggle. The song continues the album’s overarching narrative, using fire as a metaphor for trial, transformation, and inevitable confrontation.
