Nightwish-Once (2004)

Nightwish is one of the bands that have rewritten all the norms established in symphonic metal, since their first album they have been adding the necessary elements so that over the years they have become one of the greatest formations in the history of rock.
However, it would not be until their fifth album "Once" published in 2004 when they would become the center of attention around the world thanks to this spectacular symphonic metal album.
Here the vocal register of Tarja becomes much more powerful to the detriment of her lyrical tone, the same happens with the guitar riffs of Emppu and the keyboardist Tuomas adds many more pompous orchestrations.
An album where all the songs stand out from the epic "Ghost Love Score" to the effective "Wish I Had An Angel", passing through jewels like the hypnotic "The Siren" or the melancholic "Higher Than Hope".
This marked the last album of the phenomenal singer Tarja Turunen, who was fired by the band, due to conflicts between the singer and the other members.
A masterpiece of symphonic metal and power metal.
