The Penultimate Heavy Metal Sunday

[gridlore]

Yup, almost done.

Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Kitee. Formed in 1996 by songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former vocalist Tarja Turunen, Nightwish's current line-up has five members, although Tarja has been replaced by Anette Olzon and the original bassist, Sami Vänskä, has been replaced by Marco Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist part; previously male vocal-parts were done by Tuomas or guest singers.

Enjoy the title track from 2000's EP

Next week will be the final Heavy Metal Sunday.. with Metallica, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden.

I like their albums "Once" and "Dark Passion Play" best.

Nightwish used to be awesome until they replaced Tarja. Now they sound like any other pop goff metal band (*cough* Evanescence *cough*).

I am particularly fond of how the band fired Tarja and then some years later are like, we would love to re-open that friendship, and she just dismisses out of hand like a pro.
