Описание: Для ценителей и коллекционеров … Роскошный
коллекционный бокс, который представляет собой сборник из первых
четырех релизов Nightwish («Angels Fall First«, «Oceanborn«, «Wishmaster«, «Over The Hills And Far Away«). В состав бокса
входят четыре диска, которые, если сложить их все вместе, образуют
единое изображение — лицо бывшей вокалистки группы, Тарьи Турунен.
Бокс выполнен в виде книжки с буклетом в 16 страниц, который
содержит тексты всех песен из 4 альбомов. Релиз бокса состоялся в
Финляндии на лейбле Spinefarm Records в далеком 2001 году, что
делает его настоящей редкостью в наши дни (например, далеко не
каждый поклонник группы знает о его существовании). Однозначно:
MUST HAVE!

Nightwish is an award-winning
symphonic metal band from Kitee, Finland, formed in 1996 by
songwriter/keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen,
and former vocalist Tarja Turunen. Nightwish’s current line-up has
five members, although Tarja has been replaced by Anette Olzon and
the original bassist, Sami Vдnskд, has been replaced by Marco
Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist part; previously male
vocal-parts were done by Tuomas or guest singers.

Although Nightwish has been prominent in their home country since
the release of their first single, “The Carpenter”
(1997) and debut album Angels Fall First, they did not achieve
worldwide fame until the release of the albums Oceanborn,
Wishmaster and Century Child, which were released in 1998, 2000 and
2002 respectively. Their 2004 album, Once, which has sold more than
1 million copies, led to the broadcast of Nightwish video clips on
MTV in the United States and inclusion of their music in US movie
soundtracks. Their biggest US hit single, “Wish I Had an
Angel” (2004), made it onto three US film soundtracks as a
means to promote their North American tour. The band produced three
more singles and two music videos for the album, as well as
“Sleeping Sun”, from the 2005 “best of”
compilation album, Highest Hopes, prior to vocalist Tarja
Turunen’s dismissal.

In May 2007, former Alyson Avenue frontwoman, Anette Olzon, was
revealed as Turunen’s replacement, and in the autumn, the
band released a new album, Dark Passion Play, which has sold almost
2 million copies. The supporting tour started on October 6, 2007
and ended on September 19, 2009. A new E.P./live album, Made in
Hong Kong (And in Various Other Places), was released in March 2009
as a MCD/DVD, and a seventh studio album is in production, set for
release in 2011.

Nightwish is Finland’s most successful band with more than 7
million albums & singles sold worldwide, with 1 silver award,
23 gold awards, and 36 platinum awards.

I have been a musician & metal fan for over 20 years. Bands
such as Metallica, Megadeth, Savatage, King Diamond and Fates
Warning were at the top of «my list». Growing up in the 80’s during
the peak of these bands and listening to much of the garbage being
produced today forced me to remain loyal to my original fav’s. I
organized a band in the late 80’s and we played tunes similar in
scope to my fav’s. But some things were missing…. I wanted a
female vocalist, harmonious keyboard and unity unparalleled in the
music industry. My band split up in the early 90’s but my undying
loyalty to the metal of my youth never faded. Over the next 12
years I also grew in the music arena by expanding my listening to
classical, opera and sole instrumentation.

Then last year, a friend introduced me to Nightwish. Since then, I
haven’t listened to anything else. Nightwish is the band I wanted
to become.

By far, Nightwish is the most talented group of young musicians on
the market today. The perfect blend of instrumentation and vocals —
metal mixed with opera. From the softest melodic ballads to the
most blistering of thrash metal and everything in-between, this
band of talent is a must-have for anyone who appreciates «true»
music. With all the trash out there today raking in the millions
they are, Nightwish is a wonderful, refreshing escape.
