Two of the biggest wonders on planet Earth: Nightwish, and Ms. Floor Jansen

Welcome to the Nightwish Army. Floor is the undisputed queen of metal. The most amazing singer I have ever heard in my 57 years on this rock we call earth. ANYTHING she sings is stellar. There is no such thing as a bad Nightwish song, it doesn't exist. The keyboardist Tuomas writes 95% of the songs and is referred to as the metal Mozart. Sit back, buckle up and enjoy the ride...

It is obvious that our Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen has taken yet another soul. Yes she can do it all. She is the best and most versatile female singer of our time. To see how she developed this, check out her former bands 'After Forever' and 'Revamp'. She joined 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. My favourite song is 'Energize Me'. They made a very nice music video from this one. They disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song, from full operatic to serious growling in seconds. The songs 'Disdain' and 'Wild Card' are good examples. Then the call came from Nightwish in 2012 to fill in for the remainder of the American Tour at first. But the rest of the World Tour followed also. After she became a permanent member of Nightwish after this Wacken concert (the official announcement came later, but it was clear that this combination was made in Walhalla), she kept performing with 'Revamp' for a couple of years, but it became obvious, that she could not combine the two much longer and they disbanded in 2016. Her side project 'Northward' is also worth a look. The song 'While Love Died' shows yet another side of Floor. Her mindblowing performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country, where she was relatively unknown until then. Also on YouTube there are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor uploaded many interesting videos in the last year, such as chats with her idols and other singers. mindblowing covers, vocal masterclasses and so much more. Just go to her YouTube channel and unpack some of the presents she left there. Floorgasm alert! Her latest video is a must see. She reacts to herself doing this performance at Wacken 2013. Lots of technical info and some memories of her early days with Nightwish.

Floor Jansen is a Valkyrie sent to Midgard by Odin to collect the souls of the fallen. Once here she realized that the easiest way to do that is to make every soul fall for her.

ALL HAIL TO THE QUEEN.

“Goosebumps immediately.” That is the necessary response to this song. 🖤

Goosebumps=Floorgasm

A Floorgasm within the first minute of the song.. Great!! She does that to everyone....

Gabriel should come and give you info about Nightwish.
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen a.k.a Metal Mozart, keys, founded Nightwish in 1999 in Kitee Finland, a  small town 10k people.
He is the band leader, main songwriter, composition, lyrics, arrangement.
The bassist/vocalist! Marko Hietala writes some of the songs, composition, lyrics, often together with Tuomas. Marko has his many side projects. He had a band Tarot with his older brother Zachary, the guitarist, starting in late 1980's. Marko's roots are in classical heavy rock. "All Hietala Power Trio" is a band with Marko, Zachary and Marko's son Miro, 19 on drums. They have play Black Sabbath covers for example. Marko joined Nightwish in 2001. He released a solo album in 2019.
Other Finns in Nightwish. Emppu Vuorinen, guitar, Jukka Nevalainen, drums, Kai Hahto, Jukka's good friend, drums, replacing Jukka in 2015 due to Jukka's insomnia. The original female lead vocalist Tarja Turunen 1996-2005.
She was followed by Anette Olzon from Sweden,  2007-2012. Floor Jansen, you just heard her and had your 1st Floogasm, joined Nightwish late 2012 on a 48 hour notice, replacing Anette in the midst of the Nightwish US tour. Floor is Dutch.
Floor had just recovered from burnout and was attending her sister's wedding when she got a call from Tuomas asking her to join Nightwish.
In Wacken 2013 she had been with Nightwish for 10 months only, and became an official member of the band a few months later. Troy Donockley, the multi-instrumentalist from the UK, is "the 6th member" of Nightwish. You'll hear him play later. He had occasionally played, in studio and on stage, with Nightwish for several years, but became a full member at the same time as Floor.
For your next Nightwish reaction I suggest "Romanticide" Wacken 2013.

Hello VonSchnitzelCrum [REACTS] ! Nightwish fans here, your musical quest summoned us.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal!  And thank you for checking this legendary band, performing here at Wacken Open Air festival 2013, together with Floor Jansen, the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of a 82k audience.
Also a recent sad news - these days Marco Hietala, the bass player and male singer of the band, announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least - we'll see what the future brings to us.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
As I saw, you enjoyed the powerful performance of the band, together with the stellar vocals of our Dutch metal queen, Floor Jansen. Hope you'll continue on this path.

Welcome to the Army!!!!!! YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Floor appears...opens her mouth to sing...literally ONE SECOND LATER the Floorgasm occurs. Congrats mate! Fastest one of the week and you're in  good company. Nice reaction video.

As a new and proud member of the Nightwish Army.
I just discovered Nightwish and I'm mesmerized.
