Title: Any metal-heads out there?
Post by: Plazus on August 19, 2010, 01:33:56 PM
Have you guys heard of Nightwish? They are a symphonic/power metal band from Finland. I have been having an addiction to listening to their music for the past year. Check em out:

"Wishmaster"

"Planet Hell"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ije5Y-a_5x8&feature=related

"The Siren"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuqUoMfgMvM

"Amaranth"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9MsW1b0QAA&feature=av2n

Are there any other good metal bands of this genre? Would like to check them out.

That's a first. I don't think I've heard anything like that. Pretty cool.

I currently have Wishmaster CD in my car.

It was a gift from about a 2 years ago, just can't ever go a month without cranking it up again.


I still prefer "old" Nightwish to "new" Nightwish.  Tarja just has it.  


edit:

Demons and Wizards, although different, have a few good albums too.

Thanks, themaj!  :aok

I find this genre of metal is addicting to listen to. Blind Guardian is definitely an awesome sounding band. That Helloween song kinda reminds me of Iron Maiden.

Heard them a few years ago on YouTube. That wishmaster link was the first I ever saw of them and it was an instant favorite. Now I have all of their albums, Over the Hills and Far away single, and End of an Era DVD  :rock

They also opened me up to a ton of other amazing bands (almost all from Europe too, I hate American music).

Love Nightwish with a substantial portion of my heart.

But for Power Metal and Folk Metal I like Dragonforce and a PIRATE Metal band called Alestorm.

But all of these bands including Disturbed and Dragonforce 2 of my fave bands can go hang at the moment. IRON MAIDEN's THE FINAL FRONTIER.

Nuff said

I've only ever heard 'While your Lips Are Still Red'

Got some amazing piano playing in it.

It kind of reminds me of the band I AM Ghost. This is the best song they do.
