Esa Holopainen / Tuomas Holopainen

• Esa Holopainen is a finnish guitarist in a finnish metal band called Amorphis. You can find their albums through the record label Nuclear Blast.
• Tuomas Holopainen is a finnish composer/keyboardist in a finnish metal band called Nightwish. You can find their albums through the record label Nuclear Blast.

4 years ago I was wondering if they were from the same family and I had some troubles finding the answer and it turned out that they are not related to each other. See this interview of Amorphis singer (it's in french).

I blogged about it at that time but I'm still seeing some people looking for that information (here, there). So let's share the information for the lost souls looking for the answer of this extremely important question (the answer is not 42):

Esa Holopainen and Tuomas Holopainen are not from the same family.
