NIGHTWISH is one of the pioneers of 'symphonic metal' or 'opera metal' and they go back to the 90s. Their album "Oceanborn" is one of my favorites. Mysterious, raven-haired lead vocalist Tarja Turunen inspired Simone Simons from Epica to become a singer, and probably influenced countless others, perhaps bands like Evanescence as well. Nightwish takes an incredible opera sound and vocals and surrounds it with euro-style neoclassical heavy metal... what's not to like about that? "Wishmaster" here is a live performance and shows what they do best - dramatic, riff-laden symphonic heavy metal!
