Anthony W. 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Anyone here a fan of Nightwish/any other symphonic metal bands? I'm addicted to Nightwish's Dark Chest of Wonders, off their album End of an Era. Heres a Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvzMkY8Zxng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony W. 0 Posted February 10, 2009 And, don't let this turn into a petty partisan Tarja v. Annette thread... That is if anyone here likes Nightwish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Baltika 85 Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Nice vid, Thanks for the link. I only got to know Nightwish recently, only have one album - so far! Ever hear any Candlemass? The early years with Messiah Marcolin, of course :yes: I had Dreams of Creation (?) on tape cassette, must try and pick up the CD these days. Edit: I looked it up, Ancient Dreams, then Tales of Creation. Great couple of albums. And who could forget "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" - does what it says on the tin :moil: Edited February 10, 2009 by Baltika Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icarus999 70 Posted February 10, 2009 That was freaking Awesome!!! It's funny that here at a flight sim site I find a lot of people who share a taste for the same types of obscure progressive metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony W. 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Yep, Sonata Arctica is a big name with NW fans. And yeah, NW isn't the same without Tarja, but eh, theres some good to it and some bad. For instance Annette's accent isn't so bad. I can understand the lyrics a bit better... But I used to love how my parents didn't know what the lyrics were on Planet Hell..

Canadair 16 Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) huge syphonic/gothic/progressive metal fan here. Sonata Arctica,Nightwish,After Forever,Lacuna Coil,Epica,Northern Kings,Charon,Sentenced,Within Temptation,Nemesea,Xandria.lots more. It is so very nice to read that I am not alone Nightwish is an absolutely great band, with or without Tarja. The quality of their work is always very high. Personally my favorite songs are "Ghost Love Score" and "walking in the air" But, EPICA They rule Edited February 10, 2009 by Canadair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FalconC45 162 Posted February 10, 2009 eh, i'm not real fan of Nightwish but i enjoyed the song Our friend Falcon CAF should like this thead :D You bet! I'm a late fan of the Tarja era but I really like Annette's voice. I got 2 cd's from them one's greatest hits of the Tarja era and Dark Passion Play. My fav songs from DPP is "Cadence of her Last Breath" and "Sahara". But all of the songs on DPP are pretty good IMHO. I also like Within Temption and Launa Coil and Evanscence.

DarthRevan 3 Posted February 10, 2009 I really like Nightwish. But I never thought I would because I don't like metal, but when I first really heard a song from Nightwish they got me and didn't let me off the hook again . But I still don't like ordinary metal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. James Cater 62 Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) For some reason i could never really immerse myself in this genre. About as far as i could reasonably take symphonic elements is IX Equalibrium by Emperor. In the past few months i've been sorta dipping the toe into the water. Nightwish is a usual band to start with and i'm really a fan of good female vocals. Any hints? Edited February 10, 2009 by Lt. James Cater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, you can try: Evanescence/within temptation/nightwish/sister sin that's all the bands i know with a female singer. yeah i know 2 other bands with a female singer but thats death metal and they do not use ''clean'' vocals but they scream en growl. I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
