The Finish band proudly announced a surprise appearance on their eighth album of the renowned and controversial ethologist and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.

On their Facebook page pictures from the studio were uploaded to mark the event. The mastermind behind Nightwish Tuomas Holopainen is a declared fan of the scientist and has mentioned he is reading his books avidly.

  • “I’m reading them at the moment. I was just reading it an hour ago,” he told Roadrunner Records. “‘The Magic Of Reality’ it’s called, and it has the most beautifully written introduction to science ever. Just full of thought plays. It’s great.”
