Nightwish!

[morvaltur]

The new Nightwish single, "Eva", with their new singer has been released for internet purchase! Did anyone else get it?

 

[Paladin Dave]

I heard it, but I'm not buying it. Listening to some samples of their new songs; Annette sounds a bit like Sharon from Within Temptation, but I think I might like this new album. It probably won't measure up to Oceanborn or Wishmaster's power metal days, but that's ok. Its still Nightwish.

If you 're looking for more power metal, you should check out the band DragonForce.

 

[MetalBlade]

I'll wait. I am in no big rush to hear it. I am sure she will do fine, I just hope they right a solid album...the last two have been rather dissapointing...

 

[Paladin Dave]

Nightwish SLAYS Dragonforce, thank you. No pun intended, really. I just want the old NW back, that's all.

November 14 is a long way away, but it's gonna be as great a show as they've ever done. I don't care who is in front of Nightwish. IMO, they are the best female fronted band out there and it's all due to Tuomas' songwriting. Top notch!

MetalBlade, I would have to say I disagree. I really liked "Once," although I guess I really liked half the album and really didn't care for the other half.
Nightwish is better than DF, but I like them both.
PoundingMetal, I have to agree. It will be great. Tuomas is an excellent song writer. No matter who the female lead is, Marco still has his awesome solo pieces that sound wonderfully hardcore. November 14? Where are you seeing them?

Hey morvaltur,
I live in Southern California so I am extremely fortunate that many bands I like very much, yet are almost completely unknown in America, still come and play in and around Hollywood. Which is where I am seeing Nightwish on the 14th of November (House of Blues). Same place my wife and I saw them a few years back when they toured with Children of Bodom.
I get very excited when I hear about the mostly European bands I listen to coming over to America, even though the radio and television addicted America has no idea who they are. Bands like (who I've seen) Nightwish, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Karma, Epica and others. But even if a band can't make to America, at least we have their music!!!

God Bless and Rock On!

Hmm, i heard Eva, and i though the same as Dave, she does sound very similar to the vocalist from Within Temptation. I'm not overly excited about that though, its good that they'll keep on, despite losing an icon of the band.

First I would like to say Nightwish is the greatest band but they need to bring Tarja back. Now I got the new song "Eva" and the new singer is cool, pretty and can sing good and the song is beautiful but I just love Tarja! -.- lol Anyone going to a show? I am going to the Jaxx show in VA on Oct. 15th.

 

[Paladin Dave]

Frankly, I liked OLD Tarja. Er... young Tarja... you know, from the first three albums. Her style started to change once they hit Century Child, and while I still liked it, she just sounded too... poppy, I guess, when they hit Once. Tuomas' composing changed too, though, so I guess all the blame can't be put on her.

You ever hear any of Rammstein where you are?

 

[PoundingMetal]

You ever hear any of Rammstein where you are?

Yeah I've heard of them. Don't listen them though. I can't get past the growling and screaming unintelligibly. Even though the music is outstanding, as I think Arch Enemy is, I still won't bother listening just because of the horrible vocals, IMO.

 

[morvaltur]

*laughs* Some of their songs, though (a lot of the ones I really like) are fairly slow. "Rosenrot," "Stirb Nicht Vor Mir," "Klavier," "Spiel Mit Mir, " and "Wo Bist Du" just to name a few. Oh, and "Stripped" is an understandable, non-growling, sung-in-English song.
