yeah, read that a couple of days ago. Kind of a shame, but they aren't really one of my favorite bands so i'm ok hehe
 feel a bit sorry for their fans though. but hey, if Tarja is like that, good on them for booting her out.

If what I have been hearing is true, then I concur. I hate to take sides because I don't know the full situation, but the things that have been filtering out have been kind of obnoxious. Tarja is a talented vocalist, but there are others who can take her place. It was always the music that drew me in; Tarja certainly added to it, but I don't see this as an end to the band. |

Can you tell me where you heard this? I'd really like to see for myself. I just so hard to believe!

Unfortunately, the place I was reading it at, the ProgPower forum, is currently "down for repairs." However, there are people there who are well-informed.
www.ultimatemetal.com/for....php?f=120 is the URL; hopefully it'll be back up and running soon. |

I heard this a couple days ago as well. I'm quite curious to see who they find to replace her, as her voice is certainly one-of-a-kind (especially in that particular genre).

There's actually a number of good, operatic female vocalists in metal. They just don't get recognized in the mainstream U.S. |

My husband is a huge fan of European metal, and has far more CD's than I can keep track of, and I still believe that, based on a lot of the stuff he's played for me, Tarja is one of a kind.
Here's a link to her response to the aforementioned letter: www.virus-mag.com/index.p...43c&a=2243 |

Thanks for the link - I was wondering when she would make a public statement.

I can't believe this. I've been a fan of Nightwish for some time now and would hate to see them break up. Tarja is one of a kind , but there are a few vocalists who have a similar style who are just as good. A good example is the vocalist for Leaves' Eyes, Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull. I guess all good things must come to an end.

I remember hearing that Tarja wanted to go solo after the Once tour. Maybe I had dreamed that.

No you are right . She has worked with Benito Vasquez on one of his cds along with Candice Night . Tarja also was releasing a way overpriced cd . US cost was around $30-40 something ! I never have and never will , pay THAT much for a cd ! Not even for Crimson Glory , either !

BTW, a similar symphonic metal band named Epica is playing the prestigious ProgPower heavy metal festival this coming September

Has anyone seen the movie The Cave? The story was pretty standard and the monsters were cool, but there's a Nightwish song during the end credits. It's the only rock song on the entire soundtrack, and I just thought it was cool that they actually used a great band like Nightwish instead of some crappy rap or hip hop artist like they usually do. Maybe the director is a fan.

Check out Nightwish's website. They have a new singer and will be putting out a single around May, and will be touring shortly after.
All hope is not lost ^.~ |

Quote: I don't know if I can agree with that. Tarja was well...Tarja, I don't know if I'll ever like anyone as much. She was Nightwishes difinitive sound. Oh well I suppose I'll have to give the new girl a chance at least. "These violent delights have violent ends.

Indeed, as it was Tuomas that actually wrote and crafted most of the music itself.
