Tuomas Holopainen quotes:

This is who I am Escapist Paradise Seeker Farewell, time to fly Out of sight Out of time Away from all lies

All in all, I think that out of all musical genres, the world of metal is the most escapist one. Metal is also music for people who think for themselves. I think metalheads are smart people who possess a healthy dose of self-irony and a good sense of humor, and that appeals to me. I felt a strong affinity with the scene from the first moment on.

All I am is smoke and mirrors ...

Beware the beast, but enjoy the feast he offers.
