Nightwish

Well, we had a NW thread a while back, but I thought I could make another.

Does anyone (apart from me, Apoc, Rykan and MrX-Link) know them? They're a power metal band from Finland, very big in their country. My favourite band of all time for a number of reasons.

A few samples in case you haven't heard them:

Nemo:

Wishmaster:

Amaranth (new singer Anette Olzon):

Sleeping Sun (beautiful song...):

Discuss NW here. smile

Re: Nightwish

i know a few songs by them, and they're all awesome. I Wish I Had An Angel, Nemo, Amaranth, Pharaoh Sails To Orion, Phantom Of The Opera, and maybe 1 or 2 others.

you know, there's actually a tribute band that does all covers by them, called "Nemo".

Re: Nightwish

WHAHAHA! Now I know where your char. name comes from!

Anyway, The songs sound pretty good, although I still like these 2 the best:
The Islander
The Kinslayer (Man it still rocks!!!)

But srly Saph, those songs sound pretty cool as well/ It's a good band. DragonForce becomes boring and Nightwish (and The Prodigy) become more awesome. The Islander is a good song since it's a one which is calm and has a good text, something you do not expect, and I like it. The Kinslayer is just too awesome to not listen to.

Nice topic once again, Saph wink

I thought you'd guess. wink Yes I did name Nemo after the song. Parts of it also applies to him in a way.

And yes The Islander is great. Very relaxing and not what you'd expect from a metal band. And The Kinslayer is very powerful.

Another big favourite of mine is this one, I don't know if you've heard it:

I love Over The Hills and Far Away. If you know Avenged Sevenfold, their drummer died yesterday.

I love that song too. A really great cover. I don't know that band, but my thoughts go out to them.

Re: Nightwish

I like them. I'm in That Mood (Take That Mood) at the moment, so I'm not really listening to them.
