...Nightwish had turned into a strange phenomenon. I was traveling through Sweden near that time and I remember walking down the streets of Stockholm, and where ever a music store could be seen they would all be slathered with Nightwish posters, cd releases (all their albums and singles), and banners all down the street hanging from buildings. I...

...NIGHTWISH have finally released an album that I can fully accept as belonging to the progressive-metal genre There's no need for my describing how this band sounds like or what their major influences are. The female-fronted, power-metal Finnish outfit is widely known around the globe and doesn't need an introduction This is NIGHTWISH's first...

...Nightwish I could not forsee the band without its former vocalist Tarja Tarunen. With an operatic, wide rage vocal, a charismatic and beautiful stage persona and a tremendous classical technique, Tarja was the face of Nightwish herself. When I heard she was fired from the band by the end of their Once world tour, it seemed it was all over. So...

...Nightwish and just realized that I have not put my thoughts with respect to Oceanborn despite I have owned the album for such a long time ago. This second album is at par excellent with the bands debut album Angels Fall First. Musically, I cannot differentiate between the two because both of them are great and deserve to be rated as a...

...Nightwish music and could not imagine how the band would search for replacement of unique and distinctive talent of Tarja. But, finally the band hired Annette to replace Tarja and released this new album Dark Passion Play Well, musically, I have to admit that the opening track The Poet and The Pendulum is a great track combining grandiose...

2008-01-01 11:39:23 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Nightwish DVD to see Watching the newer End of an Era DVD next to this, it is impossible not to notice the differences in mood between the two the looks on faces, the body language. End was a good show but it was obvious there was tension. This DVD on the other hand is a joyous rock show with Tarja and the Boys clearly working together as a...

...Nightwish is one of those guilty pleasure bands that is almost impossible not to like even if you question their inclusion as progressive.anything. Occasionally the cheese factor can be very high but once hooked by the unique vocals, like a car crash it can be hard to look away. I came to know Nightwish by watching their live DVDs before...

...Nightwish takes the stage and starts rocking the place. The opening 'Dark Chest of Wonders' is an example of Tarja's beautiful voice, as well as the rest of the band blowing the competition to neverland. The following 'Planet Hell' features Marco Hietala on vocals as well, proving he's one of the best metal vocals currently in the scene. But...

...Nightwish puts forth a couple of new tracks as well as a cover tune and a number of live tracks. Released shortly after the Wishmaster album this full studio-lengthed EP makes for a great supplement to it's studio parent. Of the studio tracks we have an excellent cover of Gary Moore 's Over The Hills And Far Away , a tune they likely covered...
