"Last Ride of the Day" is the eleventh track from the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish's seventh studio album Imaginaerum . This track was chosen as the official anthem for the Ice Hockey World Championships 2012 in Finland/Sweden. [1]

DJ Orkidea produced a remix of the song as the new entrance music of the Kiteen Pallo sports team. Nightwish had previously created an early version of a song titled "Kiteen Pallo" (kipa.mp3 on YouTube) for the team in the past. Both versions of the songs (kipa.mp3 for the original, and KIPA-90.mp3 for Orkidea's remix) could be found on the Nightwish.com website in the past, but have since been removed when the site was revamped for the release of Imaginaerum . [2]

A new video related to the song has been released in 2022. [3]
