First Time Hearing Nightwish | "Perfume Of The Timeless" REACTION

It's been so long since I heard Nightwish, and it was over a decade ago. And not enough to remember them at all. So here's my first reaction, kinda.

Hello Fables Folly ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome [BACK] to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This music video is the 1st single released in advance from their upcoming studio album Yesterwynde (2024), featuring Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, .and (at the end) Troy Donockley, multi-instrumentalist and singer. 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 🤘

”Nightwish isn’t really a party band.” Cue ”I want my tears back” from Buenos Aires. 😊

Nightwish Army Germany calling. Welcome to the World of Nightwish 😊 Do all NW with Floor...live of course. Hi from a Hardcore Motörhead Fan 😊

[@Deltroyer1963]

Watch NW's Wacken festival gig from 2013. It'll open your eyes!

[@paulmarsh4079]

If you want to delve into more nightwish....start with their 2013 Wacken concert.Its available to watch on YT. Perfect place to start.

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻First of all, Welcome back to the Nightwish family and understand that you don't know the "new" band members, well then you have a lot of catching up to do!! 😂

[@WNYretiree]

Welcome to Nightwish, a band made up of a group of extremely talented musicians who all play for the song. No egos here and the result is amazing. From your list of bands you have been listening to, it sounds like you might like a bit of a harder beat and I would suggest that you listen to the song "Romanticide" live from the Wacken 2013 concert. The great thing about Nightwish is that no two songs are alike. They range from soft ballads, to music with a definite Celtic influence, to in your face metal. And, with all of that variety, there isn't a bad song in the bunch. Looking forward to following you on your journey.

I have said a time and time again every Nightwish song is like a song within a song within a song

I love it, the cgi jokes are wonderful, very playful, and I do love the mix with Floor's vocal more as instrument. And Troy's singing of the chorus at the end is so beautiful. Powerful line: we are because of a million loves.

Fantastic reaction! I discovered Nightwish decades ago and since this time, im part of a wonderful journey! You have now discovered 0,1% of the world of Nightwish :) Best Start would be their epic Wacken 2013 concert. They did a DVD/BlueRay with the title "Showtime, Storytime" from this concert. I look this DVD every year 1-2 times and i always get goosebumps...

[@niam_kenaz]

please react also to their song live called STORY TIME. Thanks

Welcome to the Nightwish Army and glad you experienced your first #floorgasm... Funny you mentioned phantom of the Opera because they actually did that song... If you want to hear some metal then dip into the Nightwish history

[@theemperormarshall3183]

You're reaction was pure and enjoying the Art of Nightwish 🤘🤘🤘 the way you talk (clear) speak (words) you remind me of Erik of Watain (Black Metalband of Sweden - react to "We Remain" for instance - you won't be disappointed ✔️

Epic band. More Nightwish please. Look for our Herald /General Gabriel in the comments for info, history, and good quality links. Nightwish Army, BC Canada 😉

The Nightwish rabbit hole runs very deep, a very epic journey, if you decide to take it on many will follow you, have you heard of the Nightwish Armry?

[@thefablesfolly]

Everybody has an army lol. But yes. I was researching some tags and learned a few things about the community.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Some probability calculations: Step 1. Probability of boy meeting girl: one in 20,000. Step 2. Probability of same boy knocking up same girl: one in 2000. Step 3. Probability of right sperm meeting right egg: one in 400 quadrillion. Step 4. Now lets assume that you have just those 12 generations of ancestors mentioned in the intro to this song. For the probability of every one of those 12 generations of your ancestors having reproduced successfully with right sperm having met the right egg is 400 quadrillion to the 12th power. Given these 4 steps, the probability of you being born you at the present moment is 20k x 2k x 400 quadrillion to the 13th power. Going backwards in time with even more generations of your ancestors, we soon reach a probability of 1 divided by the number of atoms in the entire universe. This makes each one of us a unique miracle. P.S. Here's a new alternative metal band from Spain for you to get to know & enjoy: 1. ANKOR - Darkbeat [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - Chapter 1 2. ANKOR - Prisoner [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - Chapter 2 3. ANKOR - Oblivion [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - Chapter 3 4. ANKOR - Stereo [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - Chapter 4 5. ANKOR - Venom [OFFICIAL VIDEO] - Chapter 5 You can find all the videos on their YT channel "Ankor Official".

Bud - just adult music - not bubblegum crap. Enjoy the ride - I know you will be absolutely entranced by Nightwish since about 2008. Especially live as other posters will guide you.

[@paisa20]

Review your hashtags or separate the name of the band from the "!!" symbols, there's something wrong here, 400 views in 3 days for a Nightwish song is rare

[@thefablesfolly]

Might be because most of my viewers are in Japan.

[@toddnoll8027]

I have been a die-hard nightwish fan from the very beginning, but I really haven’t enjoyed any of there new song releases for years. Not really into this song either. I’ll just have to keep watching the wacken 2013 performance until they decide to start writing good music again. They really need to drop this evolutionary biology Jurassic park vibe with jungle beat drums.

[@thefablesfolly]

I was more into the music video than the song, but it was still unlike anything I usually hear.

[@strabel803]

you'r probably not a big fan of evolution and belongs to that tribe called "religion"?🤔 Luckilly Europeëns are more scientific/fact oriënted instead of ancient tribal believes.🤘

[@toddnoll8027]

@@strabel803 My reference to the "evolutionary biology Jurassic park vide with jungle beat drums" are words describing the sound of the music and have nothing to do with anybody's personal beliefs.
