I was initially attracted to Finnish band Nightwish by their album covers, which are highly tasteful pieces of artwork. They tend to be found in the (nu)metal sections in CD shops, so I approached with a certain amount of car |

It's not really my style (for some reason I don't like woman singers) but I can see (hear) the appeal. for me it should be included on the progarchives, i'm still working my way through their material myself as well as other gothic metal bands (slo |

I have indeed come across them...And I belive I need to take a valium before posting my reply... For some reason, wannabe goth-teenagers have recently lifted Nightwish up from the musical trash pile, in which they really belong, and the band has become the ------------- "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy." |

Tarja is hot (and she's impressive as a vocalist). I like the band, the do more for me than most other power metal bands. Bands of the same genre (power metal): Sonata Arctica(great cover of the wind benath my wings), Stratovarious, Labrynth |

Doom on you, false prophet  If you're feeling good about yourself for polluting a good archive with garbage like Nightwish, you and your followers should do some introspection and rethink ------------- "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy." |

Nightwish is not prog metal, they are Symphonic metal. Now some symphonic metal bands blend with prog metal to form symphonic-prog metal (and sometimes meld with power metal) Bands like |

You can't seriously be saying that Tarja is more irritating than Tobias Sammet? Not sure if that's possible  ------------- We Lost the Skyline............

Fair dos, man, fair dos, I can imagine Tobias as being rather entertaining live, but Marco (nightwish bassist) would wipe the floor with him  |

Probably, Tobbias aint the biggest man in Germany. Jedhead: You describe Avantasia as symphonic metal, I would have to disagree. ------------- Long live progression. Will |

I just recently discovered this band and think they're great. I like the symphonic element, and I love how dramatic it all is! Mainly thanks to the opera/choir and power chords. I just bought Wishmaster and the title track is brilliant. ------------- i!i!i!i!i! SqUiRrEl MoNkEy i!i!i!i!i! |

Nightwish is definitely not prog. btw Tarja is not huge fan of the music that the band makes. I think sooner or later she will leave the band. So it's really a time to go and see the Nightwish before it's too late. But not me, I d |
