maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: April 23 2003, 18:30 i recently discovered them through a song that impressed me, sleeping sun... the sun is sleeping quietly once upon a century wistful oceans calm and red ardent caresses laid to rest for my dreams i hold my life for wishes i behold my night the truth at the end of time losing faith makes a crime i wish for this night-time to last for a lifetime the darkness around me shores of a solar sea oh how i wish to go down with the sun sleeping weeping with you sorrow has a human heart from my god it will depart i'd sail before a thousand moons never finding where to go two hundred twenty-two days of light will be desired by a night a moment for the poet's play until there's nothing left to say great lyrics -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming...

spiritchaser Unregistered Posted: May 19 2003, 08:22 I like few songs from Nightwish: *Sleeping Sun *Beauty and the Beast *Bless The Child *Crownless *End Of All Hope *Bare Grace Misery ... What do you think about Therion? Back to top

dkaycom Group: Members Posts: 443 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: May 19 2003, 10:40 Therion..... Hmmm, well, some of their works sound a bit too "grunty" to me, but "Theli" and "Vovin" are two of my fav. "heavier" albums... Later, dkay -------------- Bootlegs should be shared not sold. (BlackCottonMafia) Find more tubular sounds at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Incantations/ Back to top

Inkanta Group: Admins Posts: 1453 Joined: Feb. 2000 Posted: Oct. 03 2009, 10:31 Talk about resurrecting older topics....I thought I'd posted about Nightwish -- prob in "what are you listening to atm"  -- so many pages to look through in that topic! But anyway--I absolutely LOVE Nightwish and am addicted to the orchestral Dark Passion Play. That didn't come out until years after this topic started, so I am wondering if years later, others have also found their way to this band. IMHO, "Eva" feels so much like HR.  It is stunning, pastoral, breathtaking.  NW may be a symphonic metal band, but their music is wide-ranging and includes very delicate, gentle, captivating sweet parts that don't let you go. -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist."

HRFanUSA Group: Members Posts: 128 Joined: May 2009 Posted: Oct. 10 2009, 17:03 I discovered Nightwish while searching the web for any version of "Walking In The Air" I could find. Hearing their version of this great song, (and after shedding a few tears) I began buying thier CDs. What a terrific group! Sleeping Sun is one of my alltime favorites and I think most people would enjoy this "undiscovered" group, full of energy and passion! Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Oct. 10 2009, 19:02 I don't like them a lot. They sound to me like a complex Evanescence clone [yes, I know that lots of bands did Evanescence's genre before Evanescence, but I came to know it through them!]. However, I like Within Temptation, who are more or less similar. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Oct. 12 2009, 07:57 Quote (Blue Dolphin @ April 23 2003, 20:08) Gothic........... mmmmm, no thanks Hell no. You can that prom-dress metal thing anything you want, but not gothic, because using the g-word might fool someone into believing it has something to do with goth rock. Which it hasn't. I spend lots of time defending goth rock and I have no time for something as utterly commercial as Nightwish, Evansence etc. Those bands look and sounds like they were produced in a market research laboratory somewhere; Hmm...seems we can't sell more than half a million of these death metal albums! How to expand? Wait...I have an idea. Let's remove all that complex musical stuff. The girls don't like that. So there, that's one million albums sold. But how do we get to the guys who are not really into music. Easy! Just add what all boys like; a girl! That's two million. Let's have the girl wear a big princess dress too, six year old girls love that. That's five million. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

DarkFeline Group: Members Posts: 144 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Oct. 28 2009, 08:59 Ghost Love Score sounds pretty epic for a symphonic metal song. Most of the stuff from their Once album is enjoyable. -------------- Who's your mummy, where she go? Back to top
