NIGHTWISH!

How about melodic heavy metal?

 

 

 

I saw Nightwish once in Helsinki, it was cool... If you don't know what is Helsinki, it is the capital city of Finland :).

Nightwish was once described to me as symphonic metal... I guess it kinda fits.

Heh, so you buy 20 albums and then *woosh* you're an expert. I think I'm going to buy Miles Davis' discography, then I can say I'm a jazz expert. 8-)

I just love Nightwish. Too bad that they fired Tarja.

 

 

 

And about the style..

 

I hang around in a lot of forums. So far I've seen that most of the people classify Nightwish's first albums ("Angels fall first", "Oceanborn" and "Wishmaster") as power metal. But "Once" is usually labeled as gothic rock.

 

 

 

Aaanndd...

Just search Nightwish and you'll get results saying that Nightwish is..

 

Genre(s)

 

Operatic/Symphonic Power Metal

 

Lyrical theme(s)

 

Love, Nature, Astrology, Fantasy

 

The really fast melodies on synthesizers and on guitars just prove that Nightwish is at least partly power metal.

"I studied silence, learnt the music.

I joined the sinful to regain innocence.

Heaven queen, carry me away from my pain!"

No one can tell for certain what genre Nightwish is, not even its creator.

 

Fact. :P

 

 

 

But imo it's more power than gothic :|

"Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."

Yeah. I guess he's really tired of the "What genre is Nightwish??? Plzplzplz tell me! I am your best fan!"-stuff. :D

Off topic: what does imo mean? :S

i am a paint noob

Imo means "in my opinion". More politely, imho means "in my humble opinion".

How about it's soft metal? Lol. They sure as hell aren't hard metal...

Depends on what you'd call hard I guess, but there's not much soft about songs like Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean, Romanticide or Dark Chest of Wonders.

Everyone knows Wishmaster right? The song that no one understands? Who wants to bet that Tuomas and the rest of the band is like "Lets play a joke on Tarja!! I'll write a song and make her sing it really fast, so it sounds likes shes saying weird things!!" Hamster, a dentist, hard [pictures of inappropriate things], steven seagull, warrior, this rifle, in me the Fishmaster!

maxsig28nv.gif

Actually, there is a lot of meaning behind the Wishmaster lyrics. It's a tribute by Tuomas to the fantasy novels that inspired him. The lyrics contain references to The Lord of the Rings (Elbereth and Lorien) and to the DragonLance novels (Sla-Mori, meaning secret path; Starbreeze, last name of Princess Alhana of the Silvanesti elves; Silvara, the name of a silver dragon; and Shalafi, meaning referring to one of the main characters from the novels).
