Nightwish – Dead Boy's Poem
Biography
Kitee, Finland (1996 – present)
On the 1st of October Nightwish made a statement; Nightwish and lead vocalist Anette Olzon have “decided to part company, in mutual understanding, for the good of all parties involved”. Olzon was vocalist for Nightwish from 2006-2012.
The statement continued on to say that “Nightwish has no intention of cancelling any upcoming shows, and as a result we have decided to bring in a substitute vocalist starting in Seattle 1.10.2012. Floor Jansen from The Netherlands (ex-After Forever, ReVamp), and she has graciously stepped in to help Nightwish complete the Imaginaerum world tour.”
Anette Olzon was announced to be the replacement for former vocalist and frontwoman Tarja Turunen in 2007 after the latter was fired in 2005. She has appeared on Dark Passion Play, Made in Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places) and Imaginaerum, as well as the two-year Dark Passion Play tour.
The band’s leader, keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, composes songs that are often classified as either symphonic metal or power metal; their musical style has also been described as a symphonic metal variant, called opera metal and even in some cases called ‘epic metal’.
Nevertheless, Nightwish is considered one of the main developers of the symphonic metal genre, which encompasses similar bands such as Within Temptation, Therion, Epica, Edenbridge, Lunatica, and Visions of Atlantis.

Also lol Eurovision. Still forever disappointed Yohio isn't representing Sweden to make an fool out of himself. It's as terrible as always this year, except the Netherlands (no I'm not biased this time we actually have a decent singer for once lol) and Denmark (I'm a sucker for folk elements in my music).

I had to tell my scripts to allow "tarja2013.com" to see it properly. Anyway, the pose makes me think this.

I'm really loving the effects of LSD on Tarja's artistry. Also loling at the fact it looks like her boobs are wired down or something. Definitely pre-ordering dis shyt.
