I remember that some of ou guys were also fans of the band, so I'll spread the news here aswell in case someone hasn't heard allready.
Nightwish has finally revealed it's new lead singer. Her name is Annette Olzon.

Not that much of an opera singer as Tarja was, but she does have a really nice voice... as far as the new song "Eva" tells us.
-
Havent heard the new song yet but hope it sounds good, Nightwish made a few good songs
-
Yes! Finally!
Hot too :)
I love Nightwish, my favorite band. We'll see how this new singer turns out, I'm willing to give her a good chance :)
EDIT: I'm listening to the new single on Youtube (buy the music people! I'm only listening because there aren't any music stores on the island), and I have to say, I really like it. She's got a different voice than Tarja (not as deep or operatic), but it's still different enough from other bands in the genre to let me know that this 'is' Nightwish.
-
Personally, I preferred the way Turunen sounded. But I think this new one sounds okay too...
-
I liked the hell out of the Nightwish song- Beauty and the beast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO00y-4vPpI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO00y-4vPpI)
Espcially this video

meh, nightwish sucks

meh, nightwish sucks
thx for the info

Perhaps if they got a female death-growler and converted to BM? :doubt:
But yeah, the guys of NW made a good choice. :):yes:
I cant wait until the new album gets released on bittor I mean my local RIAA owned and operated CD store to fleece me for a rediculous high price and proceed to give less than %10 of that back to the original artists, and then use my money to hire a team of lawyers to arrest me my good honest friends and sue them into oblivion!!!!

The first one was awesome, the second one was hilarious!
-
thats what i was thinking :D
the great kat, dispite being a total whore on stage, is a classical trained violinist, who graduated from Juilliard.
-
nuke we don't really care fyi
-
Still bitter about his "Nightwish sucks" comment, eh?
Yeah, me too... Go away Nuke, no one likes you! :p
-
Away Nuke! :p
-
aww come on guys, everyone has a right for their own opinion... even if it's a bad one :p
-
she's still pretty hot.
-

I don't know what you're talking about here, i have they're whole discography, and everything's ****ing awesome. Thanks i've been waiting like 2 years for them to get a ****ing new singer. Thank god, that ***** is hot.
-
power metal is for wussies!!!
if i want to hear opera il load up some wagner. :mad:
-
Your opinion is wrong and evil, as is the music you prefer! :lol:
-
to avoid pissing off the fins, i must say that there are many other finish bands that i like. just not this one.
-
I'd give sonata arctica a whirl for ****s and giggles, you might like them, they're pretty ****ing sweet. Yet again i have their whole entire discography as well :p
-
SA isnt kvlt enough for nuke. In fact, theyre about as un-kvlt as metal can get.
Personally, I LOOOVE SA.
Do you have Unia yet, S-99?
I torrented it the other day, I was a bit disappointed. I think they've lost their touch.
But then again I am a wussy, un-kvlt, un-tr00, and I live south of the northern arctic circle.

Screamo metal annoys the **** outta me, I can't stand listening to it without getting a headache. It's not because it's too loud or noisy or whatever - it's that it has almost no rhythm, beat, or anything that can relate to music. It's three chords over and over, a repeating drum beat, and a guy that sounds like he needs a cough drop, IMO.
I love bands like Nightwish though, because even though it has the heaviness of heavy metal, it has melody and something that I can listen to - the female vocals just make it seem very musical, as opposed to angry teenager/young twenty year olds thrashing their brains out on a guitar.

Agreed! And the ones that CAN play a tune are in a way almost more annoying, because I want to listen to the music but the guy won't shut up. Like I just discovered In Flames a few months ago, and it's nice and catchy but still a bit too much hoarse-ing. :doubt:
Excellent, thanks for the Sonata Arcitca mention, S-99. Hadn't heard of them and they seem to be just what I want to hear :yes: ...so far. Anybody else have some fun recommendations?
I'm off to see Lacuna Coil (http://www.myspace.com/lacunacoil) and The Gathering (http://www.myspace.com/gatheringofficial) tomorrow... :)
-
i dispise the american mainstreem metal even more. at least nightwish i will listen too from time to time, usually when i have a headache from listening to panzer division marduk at full blast and i dont feel like listening to motorhead. nightwish might suck, but the american mainstreem totally ****ing blows.
-

Smart thinking... But you blew it. Fins are something you slap on your spaceship to give it more "detail". Finnish (or finns) are the ones who will come to you some night your out clubbing, and purge you be the mighty breath of "kossuvissy".
-
youd never want to piss off your control surfaces while youre flying, that would be bad. but i like the finns too :D
actually blame the firefox spell checker. :mad:
-
Thanks for the reminder kappawing, unia i shall get as soon as i can. And yeah screamo metal may get to many. But, nightwish is not screamo, nor Sonata Arctica. As far as good american metal goes, rob zombie's my favorite, metalica i only heard like a couple of their songs, powerman 5000 got some good stuff too, and disturbed has some good stuff too. I'm always listening to SA or nightwish though. I do also have the rammstein discography, but i'm considering getting rid of it, i never listen to it, they have some cool songs. It's not that i don't know german, it's just i don't really connect with that band past their song du hast viche.
Songs from SA you all might like:
Two minds one soul
Don't say a word
My selene (my favorite one)
Wolf and raven
Victorias secret
Black sheep
Songs from nightwish you all might like:
Dead to the world
Ever dream
Nemo
The pharaoh sails to orion
Wish i had an angel
Ghost love score (one ****ing long song)
Over the hills and far away (long time favorite)
Wishmaster
End of all hope
The riddler
Dark chest of wonders
Come cover me
Deep silent complete
Fantasmic
The forever moments (a song about reversal)
Bless the child
Ocean soul
Feel for you
And one song i never did like too much but other people thought was ****ing awesome was 10th man down
Maybe i should torrent my stuff out? I would if i were in a situation where i can setup my own tracker (i am), on an isp that doesn't care about illegal file transfers (circumventable with non tracker bittorrent dht networking). But my brother has bittorrent blocked, but with dht and encrypted bittorrent i can circumvent that too as he said his network won't know about the encrypted bittorrenting. But, i wont bittorrent anything until i'm in a better situation. Anyway, as far as finding an SA bittorrent, not too hard, you will get the whole discography, just don't worry if it's missing meaningless compilation albums :lol:
-
DC++ finds music in abundance. Especially Finnish music. Finns are pretty DC heavy people. Lots of servers and lots of chatting. And also quite a lot of file sharing...
So incase someone would theoretically wonder how to get a lot of music without paying, theoretically DC is one good BAD! bad bad choice. You give nightwish all your money!
-
Id say the best SA song is "White pearl, black oceans" but I think I stand alone there for some reason or another.
BTW they have new versions of "Ecliptica" and "My Land" on their 2006 compilation. (but they really suck so dont bother)
Some of their best songs though, like the acoustic and electric version of Mary-Lou can only be found on singles.
My other faves are "the gun" and "shy" which are found on their EP, Taktlavi(sp?), I actually BOUGHT the damn thing I liked it so much. In fact, the only SA album/ep I havent (and wont) purchase is Unia.
And You get get all the Rammstein translations at herzeleid.com, although beware, some songs are better left untranslated. (see: Laichzeit)
-
rammstein's songs are all about sex. the song Weisses Fleisch is not about white power, rather, its about boning virgins :D
let it be known that i dont like ramstein either. thats what highschoolers used to listen to before slipknot came around.
-
Comparing R+ to slipnoob?
:snipe:
-
both bands are silly imho
-
Man i'm really digging the new song paid in full by SA.

oh god, german industrial which is about sex? SHOCKING loll
-
Anyone listen to Epica or Luca Turilli's Dreamquest? Other good bandds in a similar vein of Nightwish (although lacking the opera voice).

Luca "The Ancient Forest of Elves" Turilli xD

I didn't have much exposure to Finnish music before joining BTRL and its large Finn contingent, and what Ive tried Ive liked. I enjoyed Nightwish, Apocalyptica and Lordi(c'mon its KISS meets Army of Darkness what's not to like ;) ). I listened to the new singer for Nightwish and thought it was pretty good, i dunno if she will be able to belt one out like Tarja could but we will see.

How about blatant references to bestiality and incest in the same song?

When did rammstein become german industrial, that's like calling ace of base techno.

listen to Herzeleid/Sehnsucht and figure out just what they are ripping off and where their roots are
if they aren't industrial then fine, i'm not getting into the the scene debate, but it's pretty obvious where they come from
-
i like finnish viking metal bands like moonsorrow and ensiferum (though only their first album, after that their sound shifted too far twards power metal), and dark metal (sorta like black metal but more melodic and less aggressive) band ajattara. im sure there are other finnish bands i listen too, but i cant think of any right now.
rammstein is most certainly industrial. anyone who disagrees just doesnt know their genres (thats 80% of american metalheads). at least familiarize yourself with the dunn chart from metal:a headbangers journey. this chart is not very accurate, it completely fails to list doom metal, and they put cof in with norwigian black metal (even though theyre a british (extreme) faggoth band). the rejection of basic genres is one of the reasons why all american metal sounds the same.
-
Dark Metal.... you like Samael, Nuke?
-
Man i'm really digging the new song paid in full by SA.
Frakking dren you're not kidding at that. I must have listened to it 7 times in a row yesterday. Can't see what other people are complaining about Unia, unless it's the rest of the album which I haven't digested yet :p

Nope... and now yep. :D Thanks! :yes:
Back at ya: Lacuna Coil (http://www.myspace.com/lacunacoil) and Within Temptation (http://www.myspace.com/withintemptation) ... just saw them in concert on a recommendation and was quite impressed. Couple steps removed (Italy and Netherlands respectively) but very enjoyable. What do you think?
Good zark I feel like I've discovered a whole new solar system. I've discovered 9+ bands this month alone (5 just from this thread!) that I like way better than what I'd been listening to in the last year.

Woo even MORE stuff to go try now :lol:
On the original topic for once, I agree... do like the new voice but need them to release a less mellow song to REALLY show how it compares, the 'belting'. Did just find out they'll be in a nearby city October 31st, woo, so I guess I'll find out!
-
Well i sure listened to paid in full more than 7 times in a row :eek: i really liked it, and was also pissed that i pretty much have no way of getting the album legally or illegally right now, so thats all i get to listen to out of their new album, not to mention paid in full is like the only music video on their site that has absolutely good video quality and sound quality. The worst video on that site is just unbearable and you have to go to youtube for a higher quality version was the video they have of wolf and raven. The wolf and raven audio quality and video quality was so low on SA's site that i know you could stream higher quality **** over dialup. That's my rant, i'll go check out some of these other bands :)
-
Dark Metal.... you like Samael, Nuke?
never checked em out.
so many bands, so little time :D
when im not listening to kvltgrymtrooblackmetal, i tend to listen to doom, viking, death, old skool thrash, sludge, and on rare occasions, goth and industrial. genres i dispise would be power, prog, and anything with a -core affix (except maybe grindcore if its really harsh like the **** on the gummo soundtrack).

Update - you can now listen to previews of some tracks from their new CD, featuring Anette in some heavier stuff. Not bad :)

Yep not bad at all. I'm quite thrilled to hear the new album.

I just came up with a great way for getting music if you guys want to hear.
