This was the perfect song to react to as it calmed my mind during this Christman Holliday. Thank you @martine3293 for recommending this MV. I hope that other Nightwish fans find this reaction and if you're here reading this- Let me know in the comments your thoughts and emotions about this beautiful "rock-symphony"! ❤
Hello Ramberg [ @RambergReacts ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This lyric video is the 3rd single released in advance from their recent 10th studio album Yesterwynde (2024), featuring Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band. 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. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
Thank you so much for this deep dive into Nightwish and their incredible journey! I’m thrilled to hear that the Nightwish fans are hardcore as every great band deserves to be backed up by a strong fanbase/community. I’ll most def react to Nightwish again I’ve subscribed to your channel now. Once again; Thank you for this awesome comment 🙏🏻🫶🏻✨❤️
@@RambergReacts I am glad for the positive response, and for your openness to a musical universe of unique stylistic diversity, created by Nightwish for more than a quarter of a century. Of course you have a new subscriber here, so I can follow your musical journey of exploration more easily. Greetings, from Romania!
Greetings from Canada! Certainly do use the lists of Links curated by Gabriel, and choose what interests you in whatever order you prefer. You started with a recent Music video from the last Album for which no live performance yet exists. You will certainly also enjoy the many professionally recorded live performances in the list. Floor, and the first singer Tarja, are amazing to see and hear live.
Hello again. I've been waiting for your reaction and I'm very happy to see this song (and this band) striking a chord with you. Like other people have said in the comments, there is a lot to discover if you dive deeper into their music. Both musically and lyrically. As they take different musical directions, even in one song, you never know what's coming. They have so many fantastic songs, I would recommend returning to Nightwish regularly. You will not regret it, I promise! Love and season's greetings from the Netherlands.
I’m SO sorry that it took me so long! It’s been a while since I made my promise to you 🙏🏻✨ I’m very happy that you understood that Nightwish would resonate with me. I really loved this symphonic metal band and Floor had an awesome voice 😍 Thank you once again for requesting this particular song 🙏🏻✨🫶🏻❤️🇳🇴🇳🇱🇫🇮

Hey there. I'm still here, but I have indeed been away from the comments for a while. I just didn't have enough time. I'll keep recommending Nightwish to the right people, whenever the time and opportunity is there 😄
Great to see you back Martine and definitely missed. While Gabriel may be the General of the Nightwish Army, you certainly deserve the title of Head of Recruitment! You do a great job!👏👏👏🤘
Hello my friend, greetings from UK Thank you for reacting to my favourite band Welcome to the wonderful world of Symphonic Metal, truly a creation made in Heaven, and welcome to Nightwish, a band sent down to Earth from Heaven to enrich our lives 😁
Hello Mark and welcome UK🫶🏻 Thank you for commenting and I’m happy that I finally got to react to this song😍Symphonic Metal goes right into my northern heart and it resonates with my roots. Thank you for the warm welcome ✨🫶🏻❤️
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done and welcome to the Nightwish Family I find it a bit strange that Martine introduces you with Nightwish with this opening song!! Please also check the early years, especially Wäcken concert!!
Thank you so much🙏🏻🫶🏻❤️As this is my first Nightwish reaction I wouldn't know about the other songs- but I think Martine did recommend the perfect entry song for me. I've got a Wacken reaction comming up later tonight- so stay tuned!🎙️🤘🏻🔥
Wow- that's an entrance song to Nightwish 🤘❣️Thank you!!! If you'll go on with your journey you'll find many different songs in their 28 years history. And maybe become obsessed like me😊
Thank you so much!🙏🏻I feel like I’ve been living under a stone when you and the other Nightwish fans reveals that this band has a 28 year old history. I’ve been working with a lot of awesome Finnish people through my career and they have never revealed that they’re sitting in this gold🌟💛✨🫶🏻❤️
Tuomas is the Maestro! Floor is Valkyrie Queen of vocals. Emppu is the guitar master. Kai the god of thunder on drums. Jukka hammers the bass, and Troy can play almost anything!🤘🎸Gabriel and the Nightwish Army will be here soon!🤘🎸
Thank you for your insightful comment! Gabriel has already been summoned- some army units has already reported for duty (but the Nightwish Army thing is kind of a mystery for me still).🙏🏻✨🎸
I am pleased to welcome you to the wonderful world of Nightwish from the UK Oldies Division of Nightwish Army (East Anglian branch). As you delve deeper into their music (as I hope you will) you will find many diverse songs. Symphonic metal is the official genre, but you will find songs ranging from metal to ballads and even a jazz track. I have subscribed to your channel in the hope that you'll keep on watching and listening to Nightwish, especially their live recordings. I saw them live at Wembley in November 2022 and it was the most amazing unforgettable experience. To hear more from them and to get some more info on the band, I suggest you look at Gabriel's post and follow his list or pick and mix from it. I have followed Nightwish for some time now and the compositions and musicianship never fail to please. Looking forward to your next reaction.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome from the UK Oldies Division of the Nightwish Army-it’s an honor to be part of such a passionate community! ❤️ It’s amazing how Nightwish covers such a wide range of styles, and your description of their music makes me even more excited to dive deeper. Seeing them live at Wembley must have been absolutely unforgettable-what a memory to cherish! Thank you for subscribing and General Gabriel did sent me the link✨ I’m so grateful for the encouragement and love hearing how much this band has meant to you. Their musicianship and diversity truly make them something special. Cheers from me, and here’s to celebrating more Nightwish magic together in 2025! Happy New Year✨🫶🏻❤️🎇
Nice reaction from you👍 yes Nightwish is delicious, beautiful stories and beautifully brought together by Floor's vocals and the instruments. Thank you, we enjoyed it with you🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏 I’m thrilled you enjoyed the reaction-it’s such a joy to experience Nightwish’s beautiful storytelling and breathtaking music. Floor’s vocals and the instruments truly create something magical ✨🫶🏻❤️
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’. Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). 'After Forever' 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 death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’. Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’ Floor joined Nightwish after the iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see. Her stunning 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. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 8 years next march) and Lucy (1 year this october),a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.
Thank you for this amazing backstory on Floor (such a cool name) and all the recommendations- especially the documentary. I would love to watch that. I love that she is a mom and an animal-lover too. Seems like an incredible woman ✨🙏🏻
Welcome to the amazing world of Nightwish, simply the most incredible and versatile band out there - whilst I absolutely love this song, Nightwish a generally best watched live, but you can't really go wrong whatever you watch. Sub'd for the Nightwish journey, I think you're gonna love it 🤘
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the sub!🙏🏻✨ It’s incredible to see how much love there is for Nightwish-I can already tell this is going to be such a special journey. Their versatility and live performances sound absolutely amazing, and I’m so excited to explore more🫶🏻❤️
The singer, Floor Jansen, is married to the drummer of Sabaton. The genre is called "Symphonic Metal" and no two songs sound quite the same. This same album has a song called "Lanternlight" which is very different. It's worth knowing that the album song's vocals were recorded six weeks after Floor gave birth of her second daughter, Lucy.
What a cool and powerful mom and lead singer Floor is!! Her husband got a very Swedish and cool name; Hannes- so they seems to be a perfect couple ❤️Thank you so much✨🫶🏻❤️🙏🏻
A wonderful reaction. Yes, definitely goose bumpy! If you continue your Nightwish journey, and I’m pretty sure you will, you have so much good music to look forward to. General Gabriel of the Nightwish army will give you a link to his famous list to give you a guide to the best versions of their songs. Greetings from the UK.
Nightwish Army Indonesia, checking in firstly to say Seasons' Greetings Ramberg! I loved your reaction to this new classic from Nightwish. Other bands can be recommended, but as our leader, Gabriel, has made contact, perhaps you'll be tempted to get the feel of Nightwish more first?...... Usually reactors are introduced to Nightwish with 'Ghost Love Score' live at Wacken 2013... it's the most viewed on YT. Also, Gabriel will have sent you recommends too. Obviously it's up to you.
Greetings, dear Nightwish Army Indonesia and thank you so much 🙏🏻🌟Gabriel, as many of the Nightwish fanbase calls General Gabriel, has sent me the YT link 🤘🏻Martine’s recommendation stuck with me as she has a very Norwegian name and her recommendation spoke to me right away. I feel like she knew that “An Ocean of Strange Islands” would speak to my Norwegian heart ❤️ Will most def react to more✨🫶🏻❤️
Lucky you. You discovered a great band with the most versatile female singer in the world , Floor Jansen. Another tip?! Start with Ghost Love Score ( Wacken 2013), Storytime and Ever Dream (both Wacken 2013). Nightwish will enrich your life. Nice reaction. Greetings from the Netherlands
Good evening, piet! I know what you mean and to discover new music and musicians through reacting is something else. I’m happy that this was my first Nightwish MV and thank you for further recommendations! 🫶🏻✨❤️🇳🇱
@@RambergReacts I love Norge..one of moust beautiful countries,Same as Finlad..different but same beautiful..I'm a Latvian..I love North,and beautiful melodies ceeps You warm..:)
Nightwish is a liveband at their best. Check out any song from the Wacken concert 2013 and you vill be happy. Thats a promise. Great reaction Norway. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤🎉
Thank you so much for the kind words and the recommendation! Nightwish at Wacken 2013 sounds like an absolute must-watch-I can only imagine the energy they bring to that stage. Cheers right back to you, neighbor! 😍✨🫶🏻❤️
Good reaction "neighbor" and greetings from Finland. They make very versatile music from bangers to ballads. Nightwish is an awesome symphonic metal band. 🤘
@@RambergReacts We have a lot of great metal bands here. Of course I'm happy that they are successful in the world. However the music is the most important thing to me and not the country where it comes from. 😉
Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Gabriel will be here to fill you in on lots of information. This song is from their tenth album, the third with the current singer Floor Jansen. There are some exceptional tracks on this album and for something beautiful and different try Lanternlight.
Thank you for the warm welcome to the Nightwish world! 🙏🏻It’s amazing to see how passionate and organized this community is-General Gabriel has indeed sent me a link. I appreciate the recommendation, and look forward to discovering more of their beautiful music✨🫶🏻❤️
Nightwish Army USA (Pa) division saying welcome to Symphonic Metal and Nightwish with the Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen, New subscriber for that. If I may suggest there song "Ghost Love Score" from the Wacken 2013 show in front of 82 k People and they were the headliner - ua-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/v-deo.html&pp=ygUaZ2hvc3QgbG92ZSBzY29yZSBuaWdodHdpc2g%3D NOTE : There best live and watching then and Floor on stage live is a must see & Hear
Thank you so much! It sounds like your division is hardcore fans/community. Thank you for the suggestion and for this incredible comment. I will like I’ve entered a new world 🙏🏻🫶🏻✨❤️
HEY! Jeg er norsk fra Bergen. Har hørt på Nightwish siden 1996. Såg de for første gang i Oslo Spektrum 2021 (rett etter jævla covid) Jeg har vært fan av black sabbath, iron maiden, Metallica osv. hele livet. Men jeg kan love deg at å oppleve Nightwish live er noe alle bør gjøre. Dette bandet er helt sinnsykt bra!
Hey Kent! ❤️🇳🇴Så kult at du fikk sett de i Spektrum! Må ha vært en fantastisk opplevelse 😍Ikke rart nordmenn digger de! Jeg så Iron Maiden i 91 og 2001 på Roskilde! Og Lars Ulrich er DKs stolthet. Håper ja, jeg får sett Nightwish en dag 🤩
Beware that that one is not typical Nightwish, just Tuomas (the composer) and Floor at their best. But that says a lot. Tuomas is one of the best composers alive in any genre (saying that he writes songs simply does him no justice) and Floor is of course one of the best singers/performers alive in any genre.
@@andrelglinnenbank2856 It is the last song in a NIGHTWISH album, Troy doesn't play on every song, but it's still the band's music. Also since the album is a concept album it is part of the story being told. I really don't understand your comment; it is very shortsighted!!!
@@ManuelGdeP Your last sentence is modern social media communication in a nutshell. 'I don't understand, but I will be judgemental anyway'. I thought that in general the NWA was a bit above that.
Oh, Nightwish. Leave that path, and you will die not knowing. As a break, another fantastic Finish band: Poets Of The Fall ua-cam.com/video/MKk1u5RMTn4/v-deo.htmlsi=T4jFV9IgFxW9EsM1
Hi Olag! Unfortunately, my reaction video to Poets of the Fall and a Carnival of Rust was completely blocked as it is fully copyrighted. This is one the reasons why I might create a patreon. I ABSOLUTELY loved the MV you sent to me- it blew me away and it's so SAD that I can't publish it here on YT! 🥹
@@RambergReacts I had a feeling that you would love it..: ) Sorry to hear that you weren't aloud to upload that great song along with your good work. What a shame.
Thank you for this wonderful reaction; Ramberg Reacts. By now, our general gabriel_bardac has paid you a visit with his ultimate Nightwish guide. However, I want to let you know that in this genre of Symphonic Metal, there are more great artists to discover. Like the one I'm going to propose to you right now. This is also a Dutch Spinto-Soprano by the name of Dianne van Giersbergen. Dianne is in the middle of recording a solo album called; "Soulward Bound". Every track of this new album will be released on UA-cam at the rate of two tracks every year. So what I want you to do is, listen (and/or react) to this track called; “A Symphonic Tragedy”. It's an epic power ballad in which Dianne brings an ode to her voice. Through the lyrics, she is opening up about the life-saving abdominal surgery that she endured five years ago and that wasn’t without risk: “while this surgery saved me, I could have lost the one thing that has been my lifelong companion, my refuge, and my loved one: my voice.” according to Dianne. Here's the link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/nu4GpQBCA5I/v-deo.html Greetings from the first airborne division of the Nightwish army based at Maastricht, The Netherlands.
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and thoughtful comment! I truly appreciate your warm welcome into the Nightwish community-it’s been such a joy to explore this beautiful genre of Symphonic Metal. The passion and dedication of fans like you are so inspiring and make this journey even more special. Thank you for sharing Diannes story and her music with me. I’ll absolutely check out the track and may even bring it to the channel to continue exploring these beautiful and emotive journeys within Symphonic Metal. Music truly is a universal language of healing and connection, and recommendations like this are why I love being part of such a passionate community. Sending greetings and gratitude right back to you and the first airborne division of the Nightwish army in Maastricht! ✨🫶🏻❤️🎇
@@RambergReacts æ hadde en annen anbefaling men klarer ikke å finne den no lenger her... Mulig æ e blind 🤔 Men det var Orbit Culture "North Star of Nija" live fra studio/øvingslokale. Nightwish har æ vokst opp med (født og oppvokst i Finland), men æ lytter mest mer brutal metal.
Sneaky of Martine to make Ocean of Strange Islands your introduction to Nightwish ;-) (FYI ,There seems to be a very fixed order in the NW-songs that are recommended to reactors)

Thank you so much for the warm welcome from the UK Oldies Division of the Nightwish Army-it’s an honor to be part of such a passionate community! ❤️ It’s amazing how Nightwish covers such a wide range of styles, and your description of their music makes me even more excited to dive deeper. Seeing them live at Wembley must have been absolutely unforgettable-what a memory to cherish!
Thank you for subscribing and General Gabriel did sent me the link✨ I’m so grateful for the encouragement and love hearing how much this band has meant to you. Their musicianship and diversity truly make them something special. Cheers from me, and here’s to celebrating more Nightwish magic together in 2025! Happy New Year✨🫶🏻❤️🎇
Nice reaction from you👍 yes Nightwish is delicious, beautiful stories and beautifully brought together by Floor's vocals and the instruments. Thank you, we enjoyed it with you🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏 I’m thrilled you enjoyed the reaction-it’s such a joy to experience Nightwish’s beautiful storytelling and breathtaking music. Floor’s vocals and the instruments truly create something magical ✨🫶🏻❤️
Martine.great tip for a new reator. Great reaction Ramberg😊❤. Enjoy your Nightwish journey 🤘
It seems like she choose the right one🌟Thank you so much!🫶🏻✨❤️
@@RambergReactsI could have chosen many other songs. They have quite a few masterpieces!
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’.
Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera).
'After Forever' 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 death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’.
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’
Floor joined Nightwish after the iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see.
Her stunning 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. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on UA-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered UA-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish.
Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 8 years next march) and Lucy (1 year this october),a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.
Thank you for this amazing backstory on Floor (such a cool name) and all the recommendations- especially the documentary. I would love to watch that. I love that she is a mom and an animal-lover too. Seems like an incredible woman ✨🙏🏻
Thank you for a great reaction love nightwish 😁 floor living in Sweden she is married two Hannes the drummer in Sabaton .
How cool that she’s married to Hannes. Scandinavians has a great taste 🤗
@RambergReacts 🇫🇮🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪 always 😀
❤🤘NIGHTWISH. WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE - NIGHTWISH🤘❤
❤️
I can tell by your beautyfull reaction that this is on your playlist now..🫶
Yes, it is. But I've got to admit that Ghost Love Score is on repeat when I work ✨🫶🏻❤️🪄
Welcome to the amazing world of Nightwish, simply the most incredible and versatile band out there - whilst I absolutely love this song, Nightwish a generally best watched live, but you can't really go wrong whatever you watch. Sub'd for the Nightwish journey, I think you're gonna love it 🤘
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the sub!🙏🏻✨ It’s incredible to see how much love there is for Nightwish-I can already tell this is going to be such a special journey. Their versatility and live performances sound absolutely amazing, and I’m so excited to explore more🫶🏻❤️
Looking forward for more Nightwish.
Coming up «in a minute”🌟
The singer, Floor Jansen, is married to the drummer of Sabaton. The genre is called "Symphonic Metal" and no two songs sound quite the same. This same album has a song called "Lanternlight" which is very different. It's worth knowing that the album song's vocals were recorded six weeks after Floor gave birth of her second daughter, Lucy.
What a cool and powerful mom and lead singer Floor is!! Her husband got a very Swedish and cool name; Hannes- so they seems to be a perfect couple ❤️Thank you so much✨🫶🏻❤️🙏🏻
A wonderful reaction.
Yes, definitely goose bumpy!
If you continue your Nightwish journey, and I’m pretty sure you will, you have so much good music to look forward to. General Gabriel of the Nightwish army will give you a link to his famous list to give you a guide to the best versions of their songs.
Greetings from the UK.
Good evening, UK! And thank you so much! I believe it was General Gabriel already did so (even though he left out the general part🤗)🌟🫶🏻✨❤️
Nightwish Army Indonesia, checking in firstly to say Seasons' Greetings Ramberg! I loved your reaction to this new classic from Nightwish. Other bands can be recommended, but as our leader, Gabriel, has made contact, perhaps you'll be tempted to get the feel of Nightwish more first?...... Usually reactors are introduced to Nightwish with 'Ghost Love Score' live at Wacken 2013... it's the most viewed on YT. Also, Gabriel will have sent you recommends too. Obviously it's up to you.
Greetings, dear Nightwish Army Indonesia and thank you so much 🙏🏻🌟Gabriel, as many of the Nightwish fanbase calls General Gabriel, has sent me the YT link 🤘🏻Martine’s recommendation stuck with me as she has a very Norwegian name and her recommendation spoke to me right away. I feel like she knew that “An Ocean of Strange Islands” would speak to my Norwegian heart ❤️ Will most def react to more✨🫶🏻❤️
Well done Ramberg. Nightwish is all about storytelling and emotion. Hope to see you again very soon.
Thank you so much, Thorgrim 🙏🏻I can already reveal that this is not my first and last Nightwish reaction 🤗
Impossible to sit still listening to this masterpiece 🤟
I didn’t know what I could expect as the Thumbnail gave zero away- the genre Symphonic Metal is truly something else🌟🌟🌟
Lucky you. You discovered a great band with the most versatile female singer in the world , Floor Jansen. Another tip?! Start with Ghost Love Score ( Wacken 2013), Storytime and Ever Dream (both Wacken 2013). Nightwish will enrich your life. Nice reaction. Greetings from the Netherlands
Good evening, piet! I know what you mean and to discover new music and musicians through reacting is something else. I’m happy that this was my first Nightwish MV and thank you for further recommendations! 🫶🏻✨❤️🇳🇱
Welcome to Nightwish

Thank you so much for the kind words and the recommendation! Nightwish at Wacken 2013 sounds like an absolute must-watch-I can only imagine the energy they bring to that stage. Cheers right back to you, neighbor! 😍✨🫶🏻❤️
Good reaction "neighbor" and greetings from Finland. They make very versatile music from bangers to ballads. Nightwish is an awesome symphonic metal band. 🤘
Good morning, Finland! You must be SO proud that Nightwish is Finnish 🌟🇫🇮They do the symphonic metal band very well✨🫶🏻❤️
@@RambergReacts We have a lot of great metal bands here. Of course I'm happy that they are successful in the world. However the music is the most important thing to me and not the country where it comes from. 😉
Great reaction! Floor Jansen is the best singer at this moment, no doubt! Greetings from Argentina!🇦🇷👍👏❤️
Thank you so much!🙏🏻I love that Argentina is visiting my channel too. Floor is such a wonderful lady, mom and lead singer ✨🫶🏻❤️

Hello from USA , This band is Awesome !!
Hello USA! This song was truly awesome ✨🫶🏻
Other than their newest album , Nightwish is best reached to live versions.
I’ve already gotten a recommendation for a live song that I might do😉
Welcome to the world of Nightwish. Gabriel will be here to fill you in on lots of information. This song is from their tenth album, the third with the current singer Floor Jansen. There are some exceptional tracks on this album and for something beautiful and different try Lanternlight.
Thank you for the warm welcome to the Nightwish world! 🙏🏻It’s amazing to see how passionate and organized this community is-General Gabriel has indeed sent me a link. I appreciate the recommendation, and look forward to discovering more of their beautiful music✨🫶🏻❤️

Thank you so much! It sounds like your division is hardcore fans/community. Thank you for the suggestion and for this incredible comment. I will like I’ve entered a new world 🙏🏻🫶🏻✨❤️
HEY! Jeg er norsk fra Bergen. Har hørt på Nightwish siden 1996. Såg de for første gang i Oslo Spektrum 2021 (rett etter jævla covid) Jeg har vært fan av black sabbath, iron maiden, Metallica osv. hele livet. Men jeg kan love deg at å oppleve Nightwish live er noe alle bør gjøre. Dette bandet er helt sinnsykt bra!
Hey Kent! ❤️🇳🇴Så kult at du fikk sett de i Spektrum! Må ha vært en fantastisk opplevelse 😍Ikke rart nordmenn digger de! Jeg så Iron Maiden i 91 og 2001 på Roskilde! Og Lars Ulrich er DKs stolthet. Håper ja, jeg får sett Nightwish en dag 🤩
Scottish Division checking in with seasonal greetings!.......Live mega!...stick with them
Hey Scottland! I hope you’re having a merry Christmas. Live is noted🌟

Yes, with Hannes and their daughter, right?

@@kimshaky Beautiful❤️
Please do lanternlight from this same album
Thank you for the recommendation 🙏🏻🤘🏻
Beware that that one is not typical Nightwish, just Tuomas (the composer) and Floor at their best. But that says a lot. Tuomas is one of the best composers alive in any genre (saying that he writes songs simply does him no justice) and Floor is of course one of the best singers/performers alive in any genre.
@@andrelglinnenbank2856 It is the last song in a NIGHTWISH album, Troy doesn't play on every song, but it's still the band's music. Also since the album is a concept album it is part of the story being told. I really don't understand your comment; it is very shortsighted!!!
@@ManuelGdeP Your last sentence is modern social media communication in a nutshell. 'I don't understand, but I will be judgemental anyway'. I thought that in general the NWA was a bit above that.

Great comment 🥰 And thank you for the recommendation- looks intriguing 🌟🤗
@RambergReacts
Hi Olag! Unfortunately, my reaction video to Poets of the Fall and a Carnival of Rust was completely blocked as it is fully copyrighted. This is one the reasons why I might create a patreon. I ABSOLUTELY loved the MV you sent to me- it blew me away and it's so SAD that I can't publish it here on YT! 🥹

Thank you for this wonderful reaction; Ramberg Reacts. By now, our general gabriel_bardac has paid you a visit with his ultimate Nightwish guide. However, I want to let you know that in this genre of Symphonic Metal, there are more great artists to discover. Like the one I'm going to propose to you right now. This is also a Dutch Spinto-Soprano by the name of Dianne van Giersbergen. Dianne is in the middle of recording a solo album called; "Soulward Bound". Every track of this new album will be released on UA-cam at the rate of two tracks every year. So what I want you to do is, listen (and/or react) to this track called; “A Symphonic Tragedy”. It's an epic power ballad in which Dianne brings an ode to her voice. Through the lyrics, she is opening up about the life-saving abdominal surgery that she endured five years ago and that wasn’t without risk: “while this surgery saved me, I could have lost the one thing that has been my lifelong companion, my refuge, and my loved one: my voice.” according to Dianne. Here's the link to that video: ua-cam.com/video/nu4GpQBCA5I/v-deo.html
Greetings from the first airborne division of the Nightwish army based at Maastricht, The Netherlands.
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and thoughtful comment! I truly appreciate your warm welcome into the Nightwish community-it’s been such a joy to explore this beautiful genre of Symphonic Metal. The passion and dedication of fans like you are so inspiring and make this journey even more special.
Thank you for sharing Diannes story and her music with me. I’ll absolutely check out the track and may even bring it to the channel to continue exploring these beautiful and emotive journeys within Symphonic Metal. Music truly is a universal language of healing and connection, and recommendations like this are why I love being part of such a passionate community.
Sending greetings and gratitude right back to you and the first airborne division of the Nightwish army in Maastricht! ✨🫶🏻❤️🎇

You look like Tarja

Thank you! I CAN’T sing though 😅
Sneaky of Martine to make Ocean of Strange Islands your introduction to Nightwish ;-) (FYI ,There seems to be a very fixed order in the NW-songs that are recommended to reactors)
It seems like she was spot on with her recommendation 🤗🌟
