What´s undoubtedly the most successful band in Finland, with millions of albums sold around the world, is back in its country with a long concert. I´m talking about Nightwish, the symphonic metal band that has been creating hits since 1996 with a musical formula that reaches a broad crowd.
One could say that Nightwish has two eras: the first of them with Tarja Turunen, the famous soprano that is now performing her solo career and the second one with Annette Olzon. Both singers are valued and loved by the band´s fans, although one has to acknowledge that the change created a division. The band was formed by Tuomas Holopainen together with a group of musician friends, among which there was young Tarja. Soon they began working on a demo and signed a contract with their first record label, with whom they released two albums, ´Angells fall first´ and ´Oceanborn´ from 1997 and 1998 respectively, with which they quickly climbed up the Finnish charts. After these two albums there was a year of silence where the band dedicated themselves to finish their studies, but came back in 2000 with the album ´Wishmaster´ and, with that, world fame.
Today, with seven albums, the latest released not long ago with which they have an important film project born out of the imagination of Holopainen, they arrive to play in their home country promoting the new album titled ´Imaginaerum´. The concert will take place at the Ice Hall in Helsinki on the 10th of March, with ticket prices going at 49€. A special evening for a band who has just released a new album and film in the same year.
