Good instrumental album find:

Some good ideas in that - and good see some differences in song style too.

any fave albums of 2020?
i don't have one but i like to know others to give me ideas

I'm not big on black metal but this I really rate:

Rated number one Black Metal album on this website.

Also I like the number five entry as well.

Evile are back at it, couple of changes in the group but Ol is back and doing vocals. I miss his massive hair.

Thanks for the tip, will check that out when I get home. I loved Five Serpent's Teeth.

It's a decent song but a bit generic and by the numbers in my opinion, much like the last album. Still, I'll definitely check out the album.

I really liked the last album and will definitely check the new album out. I think they just release the "easy" songs first. They are an incredible band and their live shows are awesome as well.

old one, but a goody
but its not Floor though

People actually prefer Floor?

 

[ShiWarrior]

dont let @NickK hear you say that !

seriously though, Tarja is the person that got me into Nightwish and that sort of music, but Floor is VERY good, her vocal range is outstanding

 

[neviditelny]

People actually prefer Floor?

Yep, I prefer Floor. Tarja got a great voice, but live Floor is lengths ahead of Tarja when it comes to stage presence etc. And as ShiWarrior said, her vocal range is incredible.

Here's my Tarja collection of CDs

and this is not including the Nightwish CDs...

I started with Tarja, with night wish it worked well. Floor is a good replacement but I have felt that Nightwish has sort of wandered away from itself a little in attempting to refine or redefine itself. In the old days it was catchy stabs of different songs with a theme, now it's more like a meandering opera.

I used to play along with a lot of drumming to nightwish - and one of my favourites played loud and hammering drum peddles.

 

[ShiWarrior]

wow, i never knew Tarja did a Bond song !
im listening to it on my CD now

[ShiWarrior]

[ShiWarrior]

guys,

MUST WATCH THESE

 

[mjt]

Ah those are awesome @ShiWarrior!
Heard about Nandi v Grohl ages ago but never got around to watching the videos.

Also Dave Grohl is literally the nicest person in rock.
