Nightwish were called in one of the first journal articles ever written about them, the Finnish Gathering. The band formed shortly after, in July 1996, majorly inspired by The Gathering. The idea to put together Nightwish was the brainchild of Tuomas Holopainen, conceived after spending a night around a campfire with friends. Nightwish's original line-up: Emppu Vuorinen, Jukka Nevalainen, Tuomas Holopainen and Tarja Turunen It would appear that the search for the new vocalist is over. In February 2007, the band officially announced a new, internet-only single named 'Eva' which will be released on May 30, 2007, as well as a new single in August, the September release of their new and long-awaited album and American dates for the tour they will embark on in autumn. In 2006 the band announced the beginning of their search for a replacement to vocalist Tarja Turunen, who was fired at the end of 2005. With Once album (2004), Tuomas developed the symphonic part of Nightwish music, using orchestra, choirs an also native-american instruments. The band currently consists of Anette Olzon (vocals), Tuomas Holopainen (Keyboards), Jukka Nevalainen (Drums), Marco Hietala (Bass and vocals) and Emppu Vuorinen (Guitars)Īlthough the band achieved prominence in their home country since the release of their first single, they did not achieve worldwide fame until the release of the albums Century Child (2002) and Once (2004), both which had video clips shown on the MTV channel of countries from the American continent, for example. Nevertheless, Nightwish is considered one of the main developers of the symphonic metal genre, which encompasses similar bands such as Therion, Stratovarius, Epica, Sonata Arctica and Visions of Atlantis. 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. Nightwish is a Finnish band formed in 1996 in the town of Kitee.
