OT: Nightwish

[daulton]

I love after forever. I had some of there songs on my phone but ended up deleting them because it was taking up a lot of memory on my phone. I love Floor Jensen's voice I thought she was perfect as a stand in for Nightwish. Like I said before I'm a true blue Nightwish fan and I hope the keep Floor as a permanent vocalist.

Anybody get into Tarja's solo music? Her new album sounds really good.

It's official: Floor is in the band for good. In addition, Troy Donockley will be in the band full-time, making Nightwish a six-person band.

From Nightwish's Facebook:

Ms. Floor Jansen is a keeper.

Also, we will be a six-piece band from now on, as Mr. Troy Donockley (uilleann pipes, low whistles, vocals) will become a full-time member of NIGHTWISH.

Originally we were going to wait until 2014 to make a decision about the future line-up of the band, but the past year has clearly shown us that Floor and Troy are perfect matching pieces to our puzzle, and we are really grateful of the bond that has grown between all of us. We love you guys.

Commented vocalist Floor Jansen: "Words cannot describe what I feel! This union is beyond everything and I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to continue this amazing journey with my new brothers! Once I had a dream…and this is it!!!"

Piper/whistleman, added vocalist Troy Donockley: "`Imaginaerum World Tour´was a revelation to me and in that time, I became aware of a growing unity and then, finally, a transcendence of all the usual nonsense that affects bands. A beautiful process. And since the idea, the musical dream that is NIGHTWISH has been a part of me since before I was born, I am delighted to officially sail into uncharted waters with my brothers and sister. Wondrous scenes Ahoy! "

The new line-up can be seen on the live / tour documentary DVD »Showtime, Storytime«, released on November 29th.

It's been ages since I've been here, but I'm loving the new single.

NIGHTWISH - Élan (OFFICIAL VIDEO)​

And now for a little bit of a shameless plug: I decided to use my 2012 Kia Picanto 1.2 EX M/T as a tribute to the band, so I present to you: Project Nightwish.

Special thanks to Ewo for allowing me to pursue this project.
