Anybody hear of this band?

I play quite a bit of Celtic stuff and this group appears on a compilation I bought recently.

The track I'm listening to is called "Sleeping Sun".

I'm sure some of our European members have heard of them as they are Finnish.

What sucks though is that I find this band and I like their music and then I find out that their lead singer has been kicked out of the band. Oh, well...whoever they replace her with hopefully will be even better.

Got nothing to play it on. The cd part of the radio I have there ceased to work long ago. Too much dust around there.

I have one of their CD's with 'Sleeping Sun' on it ordered. I'll loan it to you eventually.

)(er)(es I've heard of them a while back. In fact when I seen yoru post I went on over to nightwish.com and checked em out again. If you are talking about them they got some pretty nice sounds. I hope I don't put them down when I say this cause it's definitely a plus in my book, but they seem to be like a band with incredible potential in musical soundtracks for film, video, etc. πŸ™‚

here's a last pic for Halloween hehe I been listeening to a lot of Type O Negative myself I seem to this time of year

could you believe I messed this post up 5 times? sry 😳 I should use preview more often. Yall should see me trying to work on the BOD site sometimes. πŸ˜†

I agree. I just hope losing their lead sing doesn't end up finishing them. (no pun intended)

They do have an interesting sound and I'm looking forward to hearing more of their stuff.

Hey )(er)(es check this out man before I take it down http://www.bringersofdeath.org/featuredsong.htm

This band has some really cool sounds and crazy themes and songwriting going on lol. They are definitely different. They really utilize a lot of different stuff in thier sound. And the singer sounds like Draclua himself.

(on all thier cd's! lol) I seen them twice live.

They're not too bad. I dunno, though....the guy reminds more of Kurgan out of Highlander than Dracula. (Before his throat was slashed)

I picked up "Oceanborn" off of Ebay last week. I've listened to it several times and it sounds pretty good. Can't really compare it to anything. They have a unique sound.

After parting ways with Tarja I hope they re-group pretty soon.

I just picked up their most recent works,"Once". I've listened through it a couple times now and I have to say that I think these Fins are damn good.

Heavy metal w/orchestral elements + an operatic lead + thoughtful lyrics. Very unique.

Here's a link to the lyrics:
