Here we get all the wonder of his song writing, with other people doing most of the singing. 24. Purgatory - Borealis Could have included any of their four albums, as they are...

    NIGHTWISH - WHERE TO START??????

    Mother Earth is probably my favorite Symphonic Metal album. I love the way the metal and orchestral elements interact. Each are given their own space to breathe. I also like the emphasis on horns over strings and choirs. Songs like Mother Earth, Deceiver of Fools and The Promise sound really...

    New Amaranthe

    He sings about three lines in the new song. Elize has gradually been taking more and more of the singing, which is a shame because the three vocalist dynamic was one of the best part of their early albums. I suspect Elize is pushed for reasons beyond just her singing ability.
