However, unlike most music DVDs, the main portion of the disc is dedicated to the End of Innocence documentary (directed by Timo Halo), which involves a long interview with Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards), Jukka Nevalainen (drums) and Tapio Wilska (guest musician and friend of the band, also ex-vocalist of Finntroll), as well as several short clips of the band performing, playing pranks on support bands, recording in the studio and generally having fun.
It also contains a short intro song called "Kiteen Pallo" originally made for the Kiteen Pallo sports team, which could be found on the official Nightwish website as "kipa.mp3".
The limited edition includes a live CD, called Live at Summer Breeze 2002, which contains the tracks "End of All Hope", "Dead to the World", "10th Man Down", "Slaying the Dreamer", "Over the Hills and Far Away", "Sleeping Sun", "The Kinslayer" and "Come Cover Me".
