\"Nightwish<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It has been 23 years since Nightwish<\/strong> released the single “Ever Dream”. The song is more operatic than later works and the music itself is more in the heavy metal genre. “Ever Dream” was awarded a gold record in Finland and later went platinum. Incidentally, Anette Olzon applied to join Nightwish<\/strong> with this song, but Floor Jansen still sings it live on stage today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you already seen what Nightwish <\/strong>has to offer at EMP?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
