Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan history:
While the band’s tour had already started and Nightwish was playing one show after the other, Wish I Had an Angel was still heavily broadcast on European radios (except in France…) and on some musical TV channels. Tuomas had even claimed that the band did not want to release a 3rd single. However, this single suddenly appeared in Spinefarm Records’ release list. (Eventually, ONCE had 4 singles with The Siren). Nuclear Blast also announced that they would release Kuolema but later, in February 2005, and probably in English with the title "Death Makes An Artist" (which is the literal translation of the Finnish title). In the end, this single never came out and The Siren was chosen to be released in Europe instead. Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan remains a single that hasn’t been much commercialized, except in Finland where it enjoyed a nice career, and in Japan, as an EP that also offered the previous single’s bonus tracks
