"Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" was the third single released from the Once album by the Finnish symphonic power metal quintet Nightwish. It was released on November 24, 2004, by Spinefarm Records, together with the platinum edition of the Once album. "Kuolema tekee taiteilijan" is Finnish and means "Death Makes an Artist" in English. The single was never released outside Japan and Finland. During the end credits on A Day Before Tomorrow, you're able to hear Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan (Orchestral Version). It was never official released, but some fans ripped it off the DVD and released it through the internet under the name Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan (Orchestral Version).

Since Anette joined the band, it has been dropped for live performances as she is not fluent in Finish.
