Angels Fall First

Angels Fall First is the debut studio album by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. The original 500-copies limited edition features seven tracks, two of which are not on the regular edition. This edition is highly sought after by collectors and in 2012 a copy was sold for $1137.23 on eBay. The album was released in the US by Century Media in March 2001.

Background and legacy

Tuomas Holopainen wrote the music for the album during his time in the Finnish Army. In an 2008 interview with the British magazine Kerrang!, Tuomas Holopainen remembered:

The original pressing featured Holopainen's home contact address, an accident from reprinting the demo sleeve for the album.

As of December 2009, Angels Fall First has sold more than 36,000 copies in Finland alone.

The songs of the album were played more and more seldom live leading up to the departure of vocalist Tarja Turunen in October 2005, and no songs from the album have been performed with vocalists Anette Olzon or Floor Jansen since. The band, and especially band leader and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen has since frowned upon the album. In a 2011 interview, when asked what album other than Imaginaerum Holopainen wanted to make into a movie, he replied that it would be Angels Fall First, and that it would be "a black-and-white comedy".

Lappi cheese

Lappi is a cheese made from partially skimmed cow's milk, very similar to Emmental except that it is pasteurized, and so is a little less flavorful, with smaller holes and a slightly firmer texture. It is so named because its recipe was developed in the Lapland region of Finland.
