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:

Amaranth (new singer Anette Olzon):

Discuss NW here. smile

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".

If you don't like them, that's OK, just stay out of the topic. wink

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

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

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.

This is one of their songs

Nightfall · Dec 29, 2009 9:24 PM

They seem cool.

Anyway, what NW albums do you guys have? I've got them all.

Apoc · Dec 29, 2009 9:26 PM

I don't have any complete albums

Nightfall · Dec 29, 2009 9:32 PM

Just Over the Hills and Far Away?

Apoc · Dec 29, 2009 9:40 PM

Nope, I have a few songs, Beauty and the Beast, Elvenpath, She Is My Sin(Live), etc

Nightfall · Dec 29, 2009 9:43 PM

Oh, I see. Those are good. Have you heard The Poet and the Pendulum?

Apoc · Dec 29, 2009 9:46 PM

Nope, is it good?

Nightfall · Dec 29, 2009 9:50 PM

It's a masterpiece:

Apoc · Dec 29, 2009 9:54 PM

It's pretty good.

I love this song, it's not by Nightwish.

Nightfall · Dec 29, 2009 9:58 PM

Have you ever seen NW live?

Apoc · Dec 29, 2009 10:07 PM

Once, but not in person

Nightfall · Dec 29, 2009 10:10 PM

How can you do that? Oh, do you have a DVD?

Apoc · Dec 29, 2009 10:24 PM

Nope, I saw them on Youtube

Nightfall · Dec 30, 2009 12:27 PM

LoL, OK then. I have the End of an Era DVD. Those are probably the clips you saw. Phenomenal concert.

Nightfall · Dec 31, 2009 9:09 PM

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