Nightwish - meaning
A popular Finnish metal band that is in desperate need of innovation. Distinct for being popular not only in Europe, but also in the U.S. and other countries across the pond. Known for the poetic lyrics of their frontman, Tuomas Holopainen, and the operatic voice of Tarja Turunen, who has since left (forcibly) due to band drama.
Nightwish seems to want to produce music that is of a more mature grade than what comes to mind when one thinks of "metal," and succeeded, but only at first. After five albums they are still singing about the SAME things and in many cases, using the EXACT SAME words, phrases, and motifs. The ocean soul thing was insightful back in Oceanborn, but four albums later, it starts to feel like Tuomas has fashioned his ocean soul into a metal hammer that he has been swiftly and forcefully smashing against my head for the past four years. Unfortunately my desire to listen to them has been steadily leaking out of the resulting hole in my skull.
Their soft, melodic signature that they started with has been compromised by a vicious repetition of symbology and the overtly elementary singing skills of bassist Marco Hietala, who has since gotten more and more singing parts in recent albums. What began as a borderline revolution in metal has turned into a musical Days of our Lives - stagnant as a quadriplegic's legs, derivative of itself, and giving off a throbbing feeling that you already watched this shit ten years ago.
Fan 1: Poor Nightwish...what's with Marco's voice on Wish I Had an Angel?
Fan 2: His vocal chords were raping his mouth that day, but they had to record then no matter what because Tuomas had just discovered a way to reword the Ocean Soul metaphor to actually sound convincingly new, and he would have lost the idea if they waited a whole day.
Fan 1: Oh.
Fan 2: Well, don't believe everything you read in Rolling Stone.
Nightwish - definition
Superhero Vixen with glowing eyes and a killer bod that kicks ass; caries a gun and blade.
Wow! Did you see Nightwish kick Dozer's ass?! That was so expected
Nightwish - slang
A great symphonic metal band, alas doomed to falure after Tarja Turunen's quittal.
Don't get me wrong, the other players are really good musicians, and had it been any other band (especially with a male singer) they could have lived on with a replacement, but Tarja, in large part due to her being a quite good looking female and having a quite unique voice in the metal arena, was literaly the face and signature of Nightwish, carrying Nightwish's public profile higher than everyone else put together. Without her, the others are a bunch of great musicians, but they are not Nightwish anymore.
Q: What do you get when you separate Nightwish and Tarja?
A: Tarja.
Nightwish
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.
Nightwish
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.
RG: ...damn...
Nightwish
Unlike the negative definitions sent in under the word look up of 'Metal', Nightwish isn't about "someone being tortured and beaten, and the sound of people stomping on small animals."
They combined something unique. Symphonic, classical music and opera combined with parts of power metal.
Okay, so the "Ocean soul" part has been overdone a bit, and so is the sea motif put in almost every song. But Nightwish is still a good band. That's just Tuomas thinks. His thoughts are in a "Sea of Thoughts", and writes them down and turns it into a song.
Maybe Tuomas should think more than just the ocean?
