A symphonic/power metal band which creates one of the greatest music of our generation. It combines classical music with power metal, strong vocals full of emotion and beautiful poetic lyrics. Their songs usually have an epic feel about them.
Some people may find them cheesy because sadly nowdays having feelings means you're pathetic.
Nightwish is the music for people who are not afraid and/or ashamed of sometimes dreaming the world away.
It's beautiful music for beautiful souls.

A wonderful Finnish band. And no, I'm no HIM/Rasmus-loving teeny. I know good music, and Nightwish is good music.
Random Guy: Nightwish suck ass, only HIM/Rasmus loving teenies like them.
Me: I'm no teeny. And I like them.

An pretty good band from Finland. They aren't my favorite band ever, but they are still a pretty good band. Plays catchy melodic goth/power metal and made one of the best Metal albums ever, Century Child.
Some poseur kid who listens to nu metal: AGH FUCKING POSEURS NIGHTWISH SUCKS LISTEN TO LINKIN PARK FOR REAL METAL

Me: Linkin Park aren't metal. They are pop-rock with a very slight metal influence. Nightwish is one of the best metal bands out there, shithead.

symphonic metal band from Finland. Nightwish is more then a metal culture, it's also very well made music which combines elements of classical and metal and opera singing. The first singer Tarja Turunen was a trained opera singer and now she is kicked out from the band. The new singer is Anette Olzon - she is average singer and (in my opinion) not as good as Tarja but their music is always worth hearing with Tarja or without her. The composer of most songs is keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen

This band is so much more they music itself - it's just delightful.
Nightwish - Siren

A lady with a violin,
Playing to the seas
Hearken to the sound of calling

Who tied my hands to the wheel?
The Zodiac turns over me!
Come to me...
Somewhere there my fate revealed...
I hear but how will I see?

I tied myself to the wheel
The winds talk to my sails, not me
Come to me...
Somewhere there my fate revealed...
I hear but how will I see?
