This Swedish power metal five-piece have been around since the late ‘90s, released seven albums, including this year’s Carolus Rex album which charted across the world, and generally done pretty well for themselves. Surprisingly though, they have never visited our shores. That is about to change, however, and in a big way, with the band about to support the mighty Finnish symphonic... Read More

Nightwish have always been a band with a vision. To some they're considered pioneers of symphonic metal. To others they're the band that beat Evanescence to the punch in terms of ethereal female vocals over robust metal atmospheres. But however you see them, each Nightwish album is anevent. Released in late 2011, Imaginaerum was the band's big concept statement, a narrative which tells... Read More
