Nightwish

Has anyone heard of them? At the moment, I believe they're underground. It is basically a rock group, more like hard rock meeting Opera. If you like Evanescence, you'll like this band (It'll take some use to getting used to her voice, it's really nice). If you don't like Evanescence, you'll like this band, they're not really similar besides the female lead singer. The voices are alike but very different.

My favourite song so far is "She Is My Sin".

Anyone heard of them?

*raises hand*
I'd say they were pretty popular here a few months ago.

The radio overplayed/killed their "wish I had an angel" single though. :roll:

Hehe, they are so not underground. At least not in England.

Not my kind of thing. But I will sing along to Nemo on the radio.

Sorry, they are not underground in England. But I believe nothing has reached the US or Canada of them yet. It's a shame, I like them.

They're not underground so much as relatively unknown, then. ;)

Eh. They're alright.

not great.
not horrendous either mind you.
but then, maybe i got rather irritated at them after my friends "one song syndrome" with nightwish.
that one song got old very quickly.

I've heard of them, most hardcore Evanescence people do... I like their song Nemo, but that's it really.

Amy Lee's voice makes me want to throw puppies out of tenth story windows, so I don't think I'd like them too much.

Despite that, her voice is nothing like Amy Lee's. They're very different and her's is more opera-ish. I'd just say give 'em a try.

The lead singer was a Opera singer before turning to the band.

and they're known here, Ammer. Most of the people I've spoke to about them have knew what I was speaking about. It's more "somewhat known" than underground.

But each to their own.

Are they? I've never heard of them until I saw a post about them on an Evanescence board I went to. I never checked them out til now. Odd.

Mmmm.. Nightwish :3

I love Tarja's voice. A friend of mine burned me a copy of their album, Once (the one that includes 'Nemo') and I honestly think Nemo is one of the "less-remarkable" songs on it. My personal favorite is Ghost Love Score.

[And they aren't played on the radio in the US ;_; ... Lucky UK-ers :3]

I've heard of them as well. Perhaps they are known, but no one cares to talk about them because no one is insanely impressed. :-x

The only song I really liked by them was the "Over The Hills" one. But other than that, meh.

I downloaded more songs, like Ghost Love Score, Over the Hills and Far Away, Sleeping Sun, Astral Romance... I LIKE THEM. :D

I've never heard of them but I shall check them out :D
