I'm really loving Nightwish lately, especially replaying "Nemo" again and again. Does anyone else like them? I'm a sucker for symphonic metal.
My mate has their new album, he played it for me the other week and now it's definenty on my 'To get' list
I try and try.......unfortunately I just can't stand symphonic metal! But I greatly respect their songwriting skills and creativity.
But aren't you the dude who introduced me to Symphony X? Unless you don't classify SX as "symphonic"...
I downloaded their latest CD earlier and I cant stand them, the whole fact that the first song sounded completely like an opera lost it for me.

[/b][/quote] Well, first of all......I was thinking about Symphony X....and yes I do like them and they are kind of symphonic metal, but with a progressive leaning to them. They aren't as symphonic as Nightwish, and the orchestration/vocals aren't as overblown IMO. They use symphonic ELEMENTS but I wouldn't call them purely a symphonic band, because they have a lot of progressive/classic metal influences that makes them very listenable to me..... However, I'll try again! I have downloaded a few songs by them but I'll get Nemo and see what I think
They're cool and everthing but I'm not into them much. It's funny, the music makes me think of vampires - vampire music.
'Wish I had an angel' is much harder then the other songs. Well, i cant judge because ive only heard 2 songs
I prefer calling Nightwissh power metal, mind you And even though i don't like Euro- power metal, Nightwish are easily better than most female vocal bands.
