Nightwish for sure has been around for a while. They were founded in 1996. They have had 3 female lead singers during their existence. Tarja Turunen (1996-2005) Anette Olzon (2007-2012) Floor Jansen (2013-current) Personally I can recommend a listen to their latest single: An Ocean of Strange Islands. Definitely worth a listen.
Hello again. I'm glad that you returned to Nightwish after more than 2 years - you have my subscription of course, for this decision. This music video is the 2nd single pre-released from their new album "Yesterwynde" (the band's 10th studio album), which will be released on September 20th. All the best, from Romania!
Thanks for sharing your reaction to a song that gets better & better with each listen, which is something that defines greatness in songwriting. The composer, Tuomas Holopainen, has said that this song is his take against all the fear mongering that plaugues main stream media these days. It's a form of mind control to keep the masses of ordinary people in line with official narratives of the ruling class.
If you start the video over and listen to what the make voice is saying, you'll hear the word virus. All the thighs she mentions like Y2K have put fear in people by those who have more power than you or I will have. The screen represents the media. That is basically what the writer of the song says when asked what the song was about.
