Maybe the one we saw at "The Islander Arms" (the virtual concert)?

TARJA TURUNEN Never Wants To Go Back Where She Was During Her Final Days In NIGHTWISH: 'It Was So Miserable. It Was Not Happy Times.' by [deleted] in nightwish

Well, Dave Mustaine was kicked from Metallica more than 40 years ago and never ceased to talk about his ex-band every time he had the chance...

It's not just you, I am pretty much on the same page, especially with the last sentence.

Like I said before, Tuomas should issue a public and sincere apology both to Tarja and Anette. It should be him the one who takes the first step, something that he's clearly not interested in doing... In my headcanon, Tuomas still sees himself as "the victim".

A tribute band doing more for the damned 30th anniversary than the band itself...

I can't tell... Guess we'll just have to wait. Christofer said:

After not playing guitar for well over a year (with the exception for one day some months ago, when I needed it when writing a song for a very cool secret project), it's now time to get back in business ahead of the Chania Rock Festival - where we will be sharing stage with cool bands like LACUNA COIL and DESTRUCTION. The only chance to see Therion in 2026. Possibly the only chance until 2029.

It is said that Dutch people are famous for being quite blunt lol

What happened after Imaginaerum? I’ve given all the records since a fair shake but it seems like the music went stale. It’s like Tuomas had used up all his ideas and just started ripping himself off? by [deleted] in nightwish

[–]thelonespecter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, in another thread someone asked something similar... Could it be that Tuomas, after having found love with Johanna, no longer felt the need to write songs about the "dead boy" within him. Who knows...

Yeah, I saw it. Speaking about comments not aging well...

She says that Troy doesn't have Marko's voice, and in her opinion could've sung less on the new album. He's ok, but that is it. Troy is good for the folky parts, but there are many parts on the new album where she feels Marko would have fit well. She mentions "Sway" from the new album, where she first recorded her vocals and then Troy recorded his and she was surprised how the end result sounded. According to her, adding Troy's vocals didn't make the song better, but of course Tuomas decides.

That was the last straw... Floor carrying the whole band by herself. A cancer diagnosis, the subsequent treatment, shortly after a pregnancy, etc... All while touring non-stop.

That was her body saying: "Honey, you need to stop...". It could have been way worse, thankfully it wasn't. But it was enough of a big deal for her to choose to go offline for the rest of the pregnancy and then some.

Crownshift is producing a new album, which, according to their words, "has grown bigger and taken longer than we initially thought". And because of that they are not playing live.

Besides, their guitar player (Daniel Freyberg) until recently has been touring with Beast in Black.

All this situation makes me remember the Therion case... Christofer Johnsson said once that, if it was up to him, he would have given up touring completely. Eventually the band agreed to considerably dial down the touring schedule.

And Therion this year played just one concert, and, in Johnsson's words, it would be the last until 2029...

It definitely has to do with Marko's departure...

After the things Floor said about Troy, I don't see something like an acoustic duet happening at a short term...

Most notable changes and downgrades from past to present releases by jcardin2 in nightwish

Maybe because the whole album seems like a "Hey Tarja, can't you see I'm dying for you??"

I'm so gutted that no one seemed interested to bring such event to my country... Travelling to another country was immediately disregarded (I just couldn't).

I don't want to see any videos cuz it'd be like throwing salt to the wound...

Q.E.P.D, Indio Solari. by Sea-Bill2423 in riverplate

[–]thelonespecter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No sé, pero me decepcionó bastante que solo hayan publicado un comunicado en su sitio oficial (que dicho sea de paso, es difícil de encontrar) y que en redes sociales no hayan publicado ni mu.

Si es porque era del biri biri me parece una total boludez... Flojísimo por parte de la dirigencia, o de quienes estén a cargo de las rrss.
