About the Artist

Nightwish is a Finnish symphonic metal band from Kitee. The band was formed in 1996 by lead songwriter and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, guitarist Emppu Vuorinen, and former lead singer Tarja Turunen. The band soon picked up drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and then bassist Sami Vänskä after the release of their debut album, Angels Fall First (1997). In 2001, Vänskä was replaced by Marko Hietala, who also took over the male vocalist role previously filled by Holopainen or guest singers.

Suggested Song Selection Championship (forums pt3)

These are songs participants have submitted to be in the championship. If you are a creator and your cdlc was made before 2025 it would be much appreciated to fix it up to 2025 standards or fix any other issues it has so that the championship could be better. The chances of it being picked will most likely increase if there are paths for Lead Rhythm and Bass done properly. Unfortunatley theres a 150 song limit on setlist so there might be multiple playlists. pt3
