Our Nightwish series continues as we cover the EP Over The Hills And Far Away and dive into the album Century Child.
In this episode, we explore how the band’s sound evolved even further, how the song writing became more personal for Tuomas Holopainen, and just how much of a game-changer the arrival of Marko Hietala was for Nightwish. We look at the band during the 2001–2003 period and, of course, highlight and dissect my hidden gems from each release - those tracks that do not get the spotlight they deserve.
Keep an eye out for future episodes in this series, where we’ll continue the journey through Nightwish’s discography and uncover hidden gems on iconic albums like Once and Dark Passion Play.
