Following this release, Holopainen never sang credited on an album again, because he thought that he was not good enough. The male vocals heard on 'Beauty and the Beast', 'The Carpenter', 'Astral Romance' and 'Once Upon a Troubadour' are sung by keyboardist–band leader Tuomas Holopainen, as well as the whispers in the beginning of the demo version of 'Etiäinen'. 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'. The band, and especially band leader and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen has since frowned upon the album, considering it essentially an extended demo. The songs of the album were played more and more seldom live leading up the departure of vocalist Tarja Turunen in October 2005, and no songs from the album were performed with vocalists Anette Olzon or Floor Jansen until the Decades: World Tour in 2018. Īs of December 2009, Angels Fall First has sold more than 36,000 copies in Finland alone. The original pressing featured Holopainen's home contact address, an accident from reprinting the demo sleeve for the album. I used to be a bit embarrassed but now I can feel proud and nostalgic about those songs. But then Spinefarm heard it and thought it was perfect, so they put it out as it was with no remixing or anything. The funny thing about Angels Fall First is that it was only supposed to be a demo to send out to record labels. But we were too far ambitious at that time for it to remain simply acoustic and making music with just acoustic guitar, keyboards and female voice, was just a bit boring, and we naturally started heading in a heavier direction. We were at my summer cabin, a bunch of friends camping out, barbecuing, singing songs, and then it just hit me that I wanted to start a band. It came about in August 1996, around a campfire. In a 2008 interview with the British magazine Kerrang!, Tuomas Holopainen remembered: Tuomas Holopainen wrote the music for the album during his time in the Finnish Army.
