Finland’s Nightwish has held “gold standard” status in the female-fronted Symphonic Metal subgenre for 2 decades. With Floor Jansen firmly planted in front of the microphone, the time has come to see how she and the band mesh together via the new written material comprising the Endless Forms Most Beautiful release. Overall, the marriage seems to work, but when listening you get the feeling that Jansen was asked to fit the Nightwish mold much more than the band was willing to change to fit her style. In the end, if you’ve been a fan of Nightwish, this album won’t disappoint.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
