Music

Okay so I wanted to post something today, so I settled on a topic of music.
So, my absolute favorite band in the world is Nightwish. They're a finnish metal band. But it's not really heavy metal kind of metal, the vocals are very operatic, and I loves it. I think the composer is a musical genius. Most of you probably haven't ever heard of them, I notice most people I meet haven't, so I thought I would mention it :)
Although, they've recently had a change in vocalists. I still like them, but I definitely prefer the old singer. Here are some links if anyone cares enough to listen lol

Gethsemane
Sacrament of Wilderness
Nightquest

And if you don't like the vocals, this one is purely instrumental
Moondance

You can get more links off of the related videos if you like them. But those are some of my favorites :D
Even though they are finnish, they still sing in english, and I loves the band. But sometimes she is kind of hard to understand lol.

So that's my musical taste :D

hugs

PS. Thanks to mirrorboy for sending you all here :)

Nightwish are an awesome band! Check out "Stream of Passion" and "Kingfisher Sky"...both are a bit different from Nightwish, but still pretty awesome in their own right.

Howdy! You should come join our little but growing LGBT metal fans forum, Infra Iridian. I've not heard Nightwish but I'm a huge fan of the Finnish metal(ish) band Circle of Ouroborus.

I just registered at that forum you mentioned, HCI. (As Sunscorcher... I almost always register on forums at Sunscorcher, which is why I have (Sun) in my msn if anyone was wondering lol)

Checked out Nightwish at your recommendation. Awesome! DL'd Oceanborn and Wishmaster. Wow! This is sooo huge. The vocals, the instrumentals--it's orchestral, and heavy, but there are lighter parts. The vocals just get into my head and the instrumentals--well, I just feel them. For a lighter touch, check out Fleet Foxes and Man Man.
