Their saga is a heavy metal fable as dramatic and tumultuous as the band’s epic symphonic music. In these details and confessions, a vivid and painfully honest portrait of a musical dream emerges—and tensions swell as a split with original singer Tarja Turunen becomes inevitable.In this remarkably revealing official biography, author Mape Ollila charts the rise from village student project to global stardom, gaining unprecedented access not just to the members of Nightwish past and present; but also their families, their loyal and lewd crew, their peers, their critics, and countless other insiders from the Nightwish adventure. The book lays bare the creative firepower and personal demons of songwriter Tuomas Holopainen; the unique talents and traits of guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and bassist Marco Hietala; and the true reasons behind the 2005 departure of vocalist Tarja Turunen—in the band’s words and hers.Along the way, the band struggles with religious protesters, fortune-tellers, naked crew members, health problems, shady promoters, out-of-control fans, and the growing pains of an ever-steeper rock star learning curve. Happily ever after or not, these unique Finnish personalities are brought to life in this journey of into the mysteries of…Once Upon a Nightwish. I love reading books about bands and while most are good, they cant compare to this book. Its an in depth study of the early years of Nightwish and what went wrong with their first singer and managers. I loved this book and hated to see it end. As for what happened Tarja is a good singer and her CDs are good, but in my opinion she really messed up leaving Nightwish. They were on top then and have went on to achieve greatness. Lots of band are good, but with Imaginarium Nightwish passed over into that area of greatness that few bands ever get to. I cant wait to hear their next CD. If you only read one book about music this year, make sure its this one. My only complaint is that its 2014 and this book ends in 2006. Its time Once Upon A Nightwish II to come out. I would love to continue reading the history of this band. I challenge you Mape Ollila to pick up where this book leaves off and continue the store of this fascinating band that is reaching out to new and greater music each time they put out a CD.

  • Subjectivity in American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, the Body, the Grotesque, and the Child
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Subjectivity In American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, The Body, The Grotesque, and The Child. Sara Ann Thomas MA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow January 2009 © Sara Thomas 2009 Abstract This thesis examines the subject in Popular American Metal music and culture during the period 1994-2004, concentrating on key artists of the period: Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Tura Satana and My Ruin. Starting from the premise that the subject is consistently portrayed as being at a time of crisis, the thesis draws on textual analysis as an under appreciated approach to popular music, supplemented by theories of stardom in order to examine subjectivity. The study is situated in the context of the growing area of the contemporary gothic, and produces a model of subjectivity specific to this period: the contemporary gothic subject. This model is then used throughout to explore recurrent themes and richly symbolic elements of the music and culture: the body, pain and violence, the grotesque and the monstrous, and the figure of the child, representing a usage of the contemporary gothic that has not previously been attempted. Attention is also paid throughout to the specific late capitalist American cultural context in which the work of these artists is situated, and gives attention to the contradictions inherent in a musical form which is couched in commodity culture but which is highly invested in notions of the ‘Alternative’. In the first chapter I propose the model of the contemporary gothic subject for application to the work of Popular Metal artists of the period, drawing on established theories of the contemporary gothic and Michel Foucault’s theory of confession.

  • NIGHTWISH, Mit Ihrem Fünften Offiziellen Studio-Release „Once“, Erneut Ein Denkmal Setzen Können
    Mit einem großen Schritt in eine noch vielschichtigere Stilrichtung, haben sich die Finnen von NIGHTWISH, mit ihrem fünften offiziellen Studio-Release „Once“, erneut ein Denkmal setzen können. Nicht nur aufgrund der Tatsache, dass man mit dem neuen Album die Charts stürmen will, um sich weltweit als feste Größe zu etablieren, lag es natürlich nahe, dass sich das Way Up Magazin für euch auf den neuesten Stand im Nightwish-Camp bringen musste.

  • NIGHTWISH - a New Era Begins
    NIGHTWISH - A new era begins NIGHTWISH has always stood for virtuoso perfection. They are able to evoke fantastic dream worlds, fade out time and space, and touch you deep inside with their majestic symphonic compositions. Vision and temptation, love and passion, devotion and blood – this Finnish band also has the courage to aspire to new creative and innovative ventures. Since their formation in August 1996, they have risen long ago to become the biggest Symphonic Metal band. It is no secret that main composer and keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen is a versatile songwriter, who lives for his music, dedicates himself to his art and this seeps through in every single note of his work.Four years have passed since the gigantic »Imaginaerum« album - a lot has happened and still even more will happen, because the time is right for a new chapter in the history of the Suomi-Symphonics. A chapter, which will set new standards and will start a magic trip into a spectacular parallel universe; so overwhelming, so epic, so beguiling. NIGHTWISH connect past, present and future to a flawless whole. It is a time for a new era. It is a time for »Endless Forms Most Beautiful«. NIGHTWISH will play a big tour through Europe at the end of this year where they will present their new masterpiece live. Don´t miss it!
