Famed evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, known for disseminating the idea of a gene-centric view of evolution, coining the term “meme” (which we’ve come to know and love on the Internet these days), and being a pretty crazy atheist guy is set to appear on the upcoming Nightwish album for reasons unknown. Though, he is one of Tuomas Holopainen‘s favorite authors, so there’s that.

It’s likely that the man will do some narration, maybe even offered insight into certain themes present on the album, but all we know for sure is that he will be present on Nightwish’s 2015 release on Nuclear Blast.

The memes, guys. The memes.
