the angel represents what she looked like afterwards



>old poem in a song



it was actually written by tuomas himself, imitating the style of whoever the poet was. the original poet definitely didnt write that line

New song gives me tremendo Once and CenturyChild

Vibes. Blander songwriting but still a jam.

that modulation at the end of Dark Chest of Wonders might be my all-time favorite. sonically, it turns a lighthearted progression into a darkly majestic one -- we've been dreaming about the titular chest of wonder, but that sonic plot twist illuminates the ominous implications of opening it. changing the tonal center of the song with 30 seconds to go suggests there is no going back; Pandora's Box is open. just a brilliant way to use songwriting to paint a concept.

That whole song is everything that's good about this incredible album packed into one tight little package.

I gotta hear more early Nightwish. Have only heard this and Oceanborn and love them both. Oceanborn is a borderline 5 tbh.

I think this is the only band I can get behind smok's position lol

I never got the huge love for these guys. Not bad by any means but just your avg symphonic cheese. Epica is way more interesting to these ears.

The orchestration on this is actually really good which is so rare for symphonic metal, might give it a bump for that alone
