Hello Liberty Belle [ Liberty Belle Reacts ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me. Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience. About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners. Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory): " Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland. Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition. Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her. There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps. I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol " For an extended set of suggestion (with links), I posted 2 huge comments in the community tab in my main YT channel: www.youtube.com/@gabriel.bardac/community 🤘
@@RedDawnDaily You'll read the term Floorgasm in the comments. That describes the emotional release Floor's singing brings and being physically affected. Go back to 11:55 and check out the girl in the center of the frame. She's experiencing Nightwish correctly. For me, hers is the first and still GOAT floorgasm. Throw away your self-awareness and let yourself get taken away by the music. As you continue your Nightwish journey, through Tuomas's writing and Floor's vocals, and you feel the entire range of emotion, you'll find their music is sometimes best enjoyed with tears and snot bubbles.
Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty: What you should do: Listen to Gabriel. He knows. Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-) It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing….and you are right.....this is the start of an Adventure. About Ghost Love Score: Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again. Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !

Nightwish Army Sweden checking in and welcoming You to the wonderful world of Nightwish. I can't wait to see You take the journey through one of metals most versatile bands. You will discover that no song is like the other. Tuomas Holopainen, the composer and keyboardist, is called the Metal Mozart. Listen to more of their compositions and You'll understand. My suggestion is that You just follow the list that our master Gabriel Bardac left you here in the comments.
Epicness right there on that stage. Two years ago I had somehow not heard of Nightwish or Floor and had not listened to symphonic metal. A good friend pestered me in to watching and listening to "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2015 and I was blown away and have been ever since. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft fronted by the best vocalist that I have ever had the pleasure and privilege to see and hear. So many gems to discover from the Nightwish treasure chest 🙏😊👍❤️
Floor stands just a tad under 6-2 in bare feet, and she's wearing 4 to 5 inch heels here....she's the Valkyrie Goddess.....Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist, co-founder (in 1996), leader, guru, composer, lyricist, arranger, and producer of 95% of the band's music....audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000.....this entire legendary show is on both DVD, and TH-cam, under the title of "Showtime, Storytime".....there are 4 other 4 concert videos on DVD and TH-cam, 3 with Floor, and one with their original singer Tarja Turinen....follow Gabriel Bardac's list, and you won't be disappointed at all....hello from the Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA.....
@@darkiee69 Very close ! If we want to be pedantic it would be 6ft ⅛" ~ 1.832m. What I'd call "a tad over 6ft", it really doesn't matter, Floor is a typical tall Dutch lady as they are.
If you follow the "road map" Gabriel gave you you'll have a safe and pleasant journey, it's been tried and tested. When this was recorded Floor had been the replacement singer of Nightwish för just about 10 months. She did her first show in Seattle Wa on Oct 1st 2012 after the band fired Anette, their second singer. This was recorded Aug.3rd 2013. This song wasn't on the set list for the tour originally since Anette didn't have the vocal ability to perform it. But Floor had heard the song when her first band After Forever" toured with Nightwish when Tarja, their first singer, was still in the band, and she loved it. So Floor asked Tuomas (the guy behind the keyboards) if they could make it a part of the set list. And they did, it was song number 13 of a 15 song set. There's som minor variations in the backing between Floors and Tarjas version, mainly that the choir have been reduced in volume. There's a video on youtube from, I think, Argentina, recorded Dec15th 2012. And there's one of Tarja doing it too. If you want to know more about how Floor got in to the band I can recommend a documentary, also here on TH-cam called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours"
🤩👍💥💯🎼 Now that you've seen and heard what they are capable on stage I kindly urge you to explore more of this magical band. Neat reaction mi lady and keep on rockin with them! Cheers from Finland. 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Hi Liberty Belle, Nightwish Army Bavaria, Germany reporting for duty... I really liked your reaction. And yes, Nightwish is a life altering experience. All the small details on "How to react" will come with experience (Artist and song in the title, pausing and before continuing rewind for a few seconds, stuff like that...) But please, try to improve your video and sound settings. You got a great personality, don't let this be ruined by a crappy video quality. It seems to me that you tried to record in FullHD, but that your hardware isn't nowhere fast enough to do that in a decent quality. Maybe scale down to 720p? Anyway, looking forward to your next steps in your Nightwish journey, you are in for a treat...
I just found your reaction video Liberty Belle. Be sure to place the band & song name in the title and the NWA will come from all over the world and guide you on this journey. If you decide to continue? Gabriel below will supply you with everything you need. Both info and suggestions and links. You have the hair for some serious hair whipping. You will see Floor, the Dutch queen of symphonic metal performing the (Dutch windmill) headbang in future reactions.
Nice you discovered Nightwish , a fantastic band with the most versatile female singer in the world Floor Jansen. Go on with Nightwish. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Wellcome to the world of symphonic metal....And Nightwish train just stopped on your station, so just hop onboard and joy the ride. Nightwish army is coming soon,we are having fun on this train and I guess Gabriel will soon come and stamp your free ticket and telling about beautiful route of this train and what is waiting for you...Please note that this Nightwish train includes carriages for all emotions and every ones travel in first class.
Liberty Bell what a really cool name. Welcome on board the Nightwish train where not every song is the same. This is Nightwish Army New Zealand trench Division reporting in. Lovely to meet you. Story time is another great song and is shorter then this one and has a catchy Chorus.
Welcome to the world of Nightwish and symphonic metal. They really are a unique band; each song is different and awesome. Floor's beautiful voice reaches your heart in unexpected ways. It's always amazing watching new people discover this awesome band and I hope you continue to explore their music. Hello from the NW Army Portugal. 🤘
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’. Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera). 'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’. Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’ Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see. Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on TH-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered TH-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish. Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 7 years next march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.
Nightwish army from Pennsylvania, I am sure Gabriel will be along with the community welcome if he hasn't already. Nightwish has been around 25 years or so, at least that I how long I've been a fan.
Hello Liberty Belle. Welcome to our beloved Nightwish with our 6'1" Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen) on female lead vocals. You have entered the Nightwish, symphonic metal rabbit hole. Nightwish is the rare band whose live performances are even better than their studio productions. I recommend that you read all of Gabriel Bardac's comment and follow the link he provides at the end. That will take you to his community page with an abundance of other amazing NIghtwish live performances. Thank you and hope to see you back with more Nightwish reactions soon.
@Liberty Belle Reacts: I don't know how you have your setup configured, but in the beginning of the video, the introduction of the video was glitchy. This tells me your recording rate and your play rate for the video is two different rates. I mention this so you can improve your reaction videos. Please take this as the constructive criticism it is meant to be.
Oh, Liberty Belle - prepare yourself for a life-changing musical journey - and for an influx of subscribers if you let the Nightwish Army join you on your trip. There is more than you might imagine - follow Gabriel's list, be amazed every time. Enjoy the ride . . .
After hundred times listen to it - i get goosebumps. And waiting for giving credit to Jukka by Floor an one of her best performances ever. Credit to sound engineers, stage and filming crew as well
I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS LIKE A VIKING MOVIE. YA YOU ARE RIGHT. BEING FROM FINDLAND MOSTLY, THIS WOULD KIND OF MAKE THEM A VIKING BAND. COOL HUGH. PEACE!!!!!

I just read what Gabriel noted. One addition I would make: This concert is pretty much the wrapup of the tour with Floor Jansen having come on board mid tour with 48 hours to lear the lyrics to their setlist. She was an emergency replacement and I was struck by how well she managed on the first night having gone back to listen to what's available from that venue. But after some months of touring with the group, this performance on the night was carried off like she'd been there for a decade. It's truly a stunning concert and individual set piece in the one you chose. I too found Nighwish only recently and had that similar question of 'how have I never heard of this band'. Had a similar reaction with another band that had only been around 7 or 8 years when I found them, yet as popular as they are, had never heard of them either. Liliac. I found Liliac by chance as I tend to listen to covers and tribute acts for something familiar with a different twist that I can listen to while doing artwork. It's familiar so it doesn't wreck concentration but gives me a different approach on something familiar. Listening to them, floored me so I dug in and listened to everything they put out and did it through reactors so I could get more info on them from fans. And a reactor is how I found Nightwish. So finding one, introduced the other. To that end, thanks for the reaction - great one. And I would recommend Storytime from the same concert without batting an eye. The whole concert is worth the investment to listen to it.. but, Storytime from this event is just flat amazing. One last thing.. the first Nightwish song I listened to was Phantom of the Opera with Tarja. I love the original but always felt like it was a bit off. When I listened to Tarja and Marko as the Phantom and Christine.. Stunning performance and best version of Phantom ever recorded imo. I say that while also noting Floor is indespensible. The two singers are amazing in their own right. I can't stand Floor's Phantom; but, it is no reflection on Floor. It's a matter of preference for the way it was done by Marko and Tarja. I love both of them; but, I don't have to dislike either anymore than I'd have to dislike Billy Joel to say Queen has my favorite song of all time. It is what it is. At any rate, welcome to Nightwish from a fellow noob. Cheers!!
Nightwish are an amazing band and I am a huge fan of them, so please react to more of their songs. But I want to now introduce to another band that you would probably like (if you like Nightwish). LOVEBITES are an all-female Japanese metal band consisting of elite musicians. In terms of technical musicianship, they are arguably THE most talented metal band on the planet. You'll also have their fans swamp your channel (just like the Nightwish army did) giving you 2,000 to 3,000 views in the first week. Here are two recent live songs you might want to react to: 1.) "Hammer of Wrath" th-cam.com/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/w-d-xo.html 2.) "We The United" th-cam.com/video/UnNxvgLI_Rg/w-d-xo.html
High Ms. Belle,....love you dearly! Thou art a thing of beauty and what's NOT to love about thee. Your hair is stunning, by the way,....nice Afro style!❤🥹👍🥰😉
Hi Liberty Belle. Congrats on the start of your reaction channel. Nightwish Army foot soldier checking in from Southern California. This song is the one that sets the hook. You will now need to continue your journey through with Nighwish and the rest of the the popular Symphonic Metal bands in the genre. We will be along for the ride.
This is what you get when every other kid on the block in Finland is into music. We have the most metal bands in the world per population. The singer (not Finnish) is out of this world with her talent, obviously. Btw., our music scene is so varied, you'd need a channel just for that. To name just some acts: we lost just now 'The Walking Encyclopedia of Popular Music', Mr Raittinen, R.I.P. He loved country music and recorded an album once in Nashville with none other than Scotty Moore (who said: "Guys, this here is the real deal, a true music man" - and he had played with Elvis . . .). And our most famous rock band once called Hanoi Rocks influenced bands like Skid Row, Poison and Guns'n'Roses, to name a few. Maybe you might like to check out our only Eurovision Song Contest Winner, 2006, Lordi, who are big Kiss fans.
Starts video.....pause...play...pause....play...pause...play...pause but I'm just gonna let it play now.....pause...play....pause...play....pause....UGH, enough already
Floor Jansen REACTS to Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Wacken 2013) th-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/w-d-xo.html the North German Division of the Nightwish Army reports !! We are there. The Bande Vocals : Floor Jansen Bass,Vocals : Marco Hietala Guitar : Emppu Vuorinen Keyboards,Songwriting. : Tuomas Holopainen Uilleann Pipes : Troy Donockley Drums :1-Jukka Nevalainen until 2013 /and then 2-Kai Hahto.
After hearing the unbelievable voice of Floor you have to react to "Dimash Kudaibergen" singing OGNI PIETRA from the Arnau Concert on his own channel. This guy has an 7 octave range and he is trained since the age of 5 years old. Never heard a voice like this. I'm pretty sure you will love it. All the best from Germany 🇩🇪 Petra
Thanks for the reaction. If you ever get annoyed of Nightwish or feel like needing to react to other groups. This rabbit hole has lots of connections to other rabbit holes: - „The Dutch Ladies“: The Gathering (Annette van Giersbergen), Epica (Simone Simons), Within Temptation (Sharon den Adel), Scarlet Stories … - „The Man with the Rolodex“: Arjen Lucassen with his projects Star One and Ayreon - „Teachers of Warfare History and Humanity“: Sabaton
Hi Liberty Belle, Nightwish Army Indonesian regiment here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish. I see Gabriel has made contact so you;re in safe hands. Just follow his guide and you won't go wrong. Even though the video quality wasn't good, what came through is your enjoyment and belive me, that's just the entrance to a very big rabbit hole. All I can say is strap yourself in and enjoy the journey which is, Nightwish. New subscriber btw.
Nightwish Army, Northern California reporting. Thanks for checking out Nightwish! Floor Jansen and the whole band are so amazing, you will never see music the same way again! 🥰
Hi girlie! (I’m 75 so I can say girlie.) You are so cute! Pretty too. Two separate things. But, more to the point. Floor (means “flower” in Dutch) Jansen (Yansen) had 48 hours to prepare for this concert when the previous singer left. She really is over 6 feet tall in her bare feet. She’s a cancer survivor. Backstage at a concert (I think this one) Hannes Van Dahl from Sabaton was drinking whiskey and she asked for some. Then she asked if he would share a cigar. He’s like “A rock goddess who likes whiskey and cigars? I have to marry her.” And they did it. Got married I mean. But that was later. It’s not generally known what else they did that night. Use your imagination. In her last concert before taking a break for maternity reasons she was seven months pregnant and looked like it. Just imagine what that girl’s going to be like.😊
@@tommoxjr Really? I’ve read so many times that she joined them just two days before. In any case I’ll stop saying that. I usually preface my comments with “I read . . .” Besides, I don’t claim responsibility for anything I don’t remember. Doesn’t work in court. Just on TH-cam. Sometimes.
Does NW have a fan base? Lmao! The Nightwish Army led by Gabriel (unofficially) will be descending upon you. Follow his suggestions and do more! Good luck with your channel! NWA Philly. oh nice Floorgasm btw!
Do you hear the rumble drawing near? They are many. They are strong. They are passionate. But in all fairness - they are a pretty fun bunch to hang around with. It's called: The Nightwish Army.
Rock opera but I prefer symphonic rock or Goth m,etal, it is known by many genre names. If you want you can call the the worlds most talented and gifted modern Music experiance. TY Thomas the keyboardest, your vision for this band was spot on.
They have been around since 1996, I caught the flame of this in 2004, still a zepp head and always will be, but the experimentation in Rock circles such as Page Pink floyd, Queensryche and the like the symphonic sound of the strings and the harmonic scaled vocals is absolutely ethereal. almost otherworldly sound like the moody blues found an operatic singer and distortion.
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered ! This is called Symphonic Metal !!! Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora. Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy. Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6). She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉. Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016. From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020. And the master of this magic is: Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish) Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot. This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival. We hope, that there is more coming. NWSU/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Nightwish are awesome! Only band that I prefer the live concerts over the studio albums! Ofc I have all those too 👍 not to mention all the blu rays too, rabbit hole.
Diane, Nightwish Army US Division here. Nightwish is the best band ever!! Floor`s vocal`s make me tear up every time doesn`t matter what song she is singing. Tuomas is such a talented song writer and story teller!!
Nightwish Army Turku Finland here. A very nice reaction! Just Nightwish doing Nightwish things! And as you have surely noticed, although they are all outstanding , none of them standout. Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at. Enjoy the journey!
Rock/Opera band out of Finland. This current singer Floor her husband is Sabaton's Drummer. They've been around since the late 90s shes the current singer 3rd overall. Check out her Poet and the Pendulum live. It will blow everything you think a song can be.
Nightwish fan from Holland here. Floor really is the Queen of Metal....and more than that: you should listen to the Phantom of the Opera she sang with Henk Poort in the Ziggo Dome 2023 also with the musicians of Nightwish. Love your reaction❤
I only discovered this band last year on youtube and this song was the first song i heard , the next day i bought the live CD Showtime Storytime . I recommend two songs from this concert Storytime and Ever Dream . This song is the 13th song of a 15 song set , the stamina is amazing and i love the drummer
Welcome to your life after hearing Nightwish. There was pre-now, and now-now. Fun fact: Ghost Love Score is now the single most reacted to song on all social media, with something ranging in the mid to high hundreds of thousands of reactions across YT, TT, Insta, Twitter, et al.

Hello Liberty Belle [ Liberty Belle Reacts ] ! Nightwish fan here, your musical quest summoned me.
Welcome to the world of symphonic metal! And thank you for checking this legendary band! This live recording is from Wacken Open Air 2013, together with Floor Jansen [pronounced Yansen], the 3rd and present female singer of the band, in front of an 82K audience.
About the instrumental and vocal added parts - it's good to know they recorded their orchestral and vocal back tracks with prestigious institutions as London Philharmonic Orchestra. London's The Metro Voices choir group and London's Young Musicians Children's Choir as their regular partners.
Since this is your first Nightwish reaction, it is my duty to give you the [updated] short history of the band concentrated by Ann Waychoff, one of the biggest Nightwish fan who has since passed away (and I am doing this in her memory):
" Nightwish was started in 1996.They are considered a Symphonic Metal band, with a female main singer. They are from Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen [pronounced Tuo-mas], the keyboard player, composes and writes the lyrics for 95% of their music. [Sami Vanska was the bassist of the band starting with their 2nd studio album, he was with them until 2001. Then Marco Hietala was bassist and vocals, since 2001 to 2020. He recently announced his retirement both from the band and the public life for the next year at least. Then in May 2021 Jukka Koskinen [pronounced Yukka] became the bassist of the band, for the Human :II: Nature tour - and recently, the band announced he became a permanent member] And there is the guitarist Emppu Vuorinen [he also recorded the bass lines for their 1st studio album]. Then there is Troy Donockley from UK who is a multi-instrumentalist and vocals. Jukka Nevalainen [pronounced Yukka] is the drummer. In 2015 due to Jukka's health issues Kai Hahto became the drummer and as of now is a permanent addition.
Nightwish has had three singers. 1st one was Tarja Turunen [pronounced Tarr-ya] (Operatic vocals). She was with them until 2005. The 2nd one was Anette Olzon from Sweden (Poppy, strong vocals). She was with them until 2012.The 3rd and current singer is Floor Jansen, from Netherlands (power, operatic, soprano.....most versatile) - you just heard her.
There are live concerts that you should use depending on what era. From Wishes to Eternity and End of an Era (Tarja), Montreux Festival live 2012 and Exit Festival (Anette), Live at Wacken 2013, Live at Wembley, Live at Tampere, Vehicle of Spirit, Decades live (Floor). I hope this helps.
I want to welcome you to the Nightwish community. I hope you like them enough to continue the journey. Believe me Nightwish will surprise you with their songs. You will never know what to expect. They are unbelievable live. I want to warn you that Nightwish fans are hard core. So be prepared. lol "

Thank you for all that info.
GENERAL GABE!!! This Lady is gonna be a FUN FAN!!!
@@RedDawnDaily You'll read the term Floorgasm in the comments. That describes the emotional release Floor's singing brings and being physically affected. Go back to 11:55 and check out the girl in the center of the frame. She's experiencing Nightwish correctly. For me, hers is the first and still GOAT floorgasm. Throw away your self-awareness and let yourself get taken away by the music. As you continue your Nightwish journey, through Tuomas's writing and Floor's vocals, and you feel the entire range of emotion, you'll find their music is sometimes best enjoyed with tears and snot bubbles.
The best live band, and the best front singer for ..... like.... forever!
Welcome To Nightwish

Nightwish Army Germany reports for Duty:
What you should do:
Listen to Gabriel.
He knows.
Great Reaction !! I think our Queen captured another soul….:-)
It never gets old to see people freeze when our Queen starts to sing….and you are right.....this is the start of an Adventure.
About Ghost Love Score:
Standing solid as a World Pillar around which the planet revolves, Floor hits "The Note," the crowd loses their shit, the band tears a hole in the fabric of Space-Time, and 82,000 people will never, ever be the same again.
Floor Jansen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Valkyries and Stonehenge, Lady of Nightwish and Protector of our Metal Realm. Long may she reign. Bow, mortal !

Hello Liberty Belle.
Nightwish Army reporting from the Netherlands.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Nightwish.
They are from Finland.
And they make Symphonic Metal.
What you've heard here is just the tip of what this band can do.
Nightwish really hits you in your heart.
And that's what makes this band so unique.
Her name is Floor Jansen and she is Dutch.
There were 82,000 people there.
I happily refer you to Gabriel Bardac's comment (he'll be here soon) for a list with lots of song suggestion.
Watch out for the Nightwish Army.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Nightwish Army Sweden checking in and welcoming You to the wonderful world of Nightwish. I can't wait to see You take the journey through one of metals most versatile bands. You will discover that no song is like the other. Tuomas Holopainen, the composer and keyboardist, is called the Metal Mozart. Listen to more of their compositions and You'll understand. My suggestion is that You just follow the list that our master Gabriel Bardac left you here in the comments.
Epicness right there on that stage. Two years ago I had somehow not heard of Nightwish or Floor and had not listened to symphonic metal. A good friend pestered me in to watching and listening to "The Poet and the Pendulum" live from Wembley 2015 and I was blown away and have been ever since. Phenomenal band with all members masters of their craft fronted by the best vocalist that I have ever had the pleasure and privilege to see and hear. So many gems to discover from the Nightwish treasure chest 🙏😊👍❤️
Floor stands just a tad under 6-2 in bare feet, and she's wearing 4 to 5 inch heels here....she's the Valkyrie Goddess.....Tuomas Holopainen is the keyboardist, co-founder (in 1996), leader, guru, composer, lyricist, arranger, and producer of 95% of the band's music....audience was an intimate little gathering of 82,000.....this entire legendary show is on both DVD, and TH-cam, under the title of "Showtime, Storytime".....there are 4 other 4 concert videos on DVD and TH-cam, 3 with Floor, and one with their original singer Tarja Turinen....follow Gabriel Bardac's list, and you won't be disappointed at all....hello from the Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA.....
No, she's 6'1/4".
@@darkiee69 Very close ! If we want to be pedantic it would be 6ft ⅛" ~ 1.832m. What I'd call "a tad over 6ft", it really doesn't matter, Floor is a typical tall Dutch lady as they are.
Please stop adding inches. She's 6'. That's it. 6'.
I love that with every reaction Floor gets taller.
@@tuomaspuumalainen3018 I'm quoting another site with that info....keep your venom to yourself.....
Nightwish Army Netherlands division present ! 🤘🤘
What Gabriel said! Nightwish Army, Blue Mountains Corps, Australia. Nightwish since 1996. G'day!
UK Army popping in for a great first reaction
How did this reaction get by me .
Well Anyway
Another soul snatched by the Valkyrie Godess
I saw your 'floorgasm' when Floor did that final note! 😁
If you follow the "road map" Gabriel gave you you'll have a safe and pleasant journey, it's been tried and tested.
When this was recorded Floor had been the replacement singer of Nightwish för just about 10 months. She did her first show in Seattle Wa on Oct 1st 2012 after the band fired Anette, their second singer. This was recorded Aug.3rd 2013.
This song wasn't on the set list for the tour originally since Anette didn't have the vocal ability to perform it. But Floor had heard the song when her first band After Forever" toured with Nightwish when Tarja, their first singer, was still in the band, and she loved it. So Floor asked Tuomas (the guy behind the keyboards) if they could make it a part of the set list. And they did, it was song number 13 of a 15 song set. There's som minor variations in the backing between Floors and Tarjas version, mainly that the choir have been reduced in volume. There's a video on youtube from, I think, Argentina, recorded Dec15th 2012. And there's one of Tarja doing it too. If you want to know more about how Floor got in to the band I can recommend a documentary, also here on TH-cam called "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours"
Nightwish Army Italian division present ! 🤘
Somebody steal that pause button 😁😁😁😁
🤩👍💥💯🎼
Now that you've seen and heard what they are capable on stage I kindly urge you to explore more of this magical band.
Neat reaction mi lady and keep on rockin with them!
Cheers from Finland.

Hi Liberty Belle, Nightwish Army Bavaria, Germany reporting for duty...
I really liked your reaction. And yes, Nightwish is a life altering experience.
All the small details on "How to react" will come with experience (Artist and song in the title, pausing and before continuing rewind for a few seconds, stuff like that...)
But please, try to improve your video and sound settings. You got a great personality, don't let this be ruined by a crappy video quality. It seems to me that you tried to record in FullHD, but that your hardware isn't nowhere fast enough to do that in a decent quality. Maybe scale down to 720p?
Anyway, looking forward to your next steps in your Nightwish journey, you are in for a treat...
I just found your reaction video Liberty Belle. Be sure to place the band & song name in the title and the NWA will come from all over the world and guide you on this journey. If you decide to continue? Gabriel below will supply you with everything you need. Both info and suggestions and links.
You have the hair for some serious hair whipping. You will see Floor, the Dutch queen of symphonic metal performing the (Dutch windmill) headbang in future reactions.
Nice you discovered Nightwish , a fantastic band with the most versatile female singer in the world Floor Jansen. Go on with Nightwish. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thanks for the tips!
Not forget that there is also something from Finland!
@@pekkavesanto6267 Of course Pekka, you r right it's a Finnish band. I visit the Kiee concert. You were there?
Wellcome to the world of symphonic metal....And Nightwish train just stopped on your station, so just hop onboard and joy the ride.
Nightwish army is coming soon,we are having fun on this train and I guess Gabriel will soon come and stamp your free ticket and telling about beautiful route of this train and what is waiting for you...Please note that this Nightwish train includes carriages for all emotions and every ones travel in first class.
Liberty Bell what a really cool name. Welcome on board the Nightwish train where not every song is the same. This is Nightwish Army New Zealand trench Division reporting in. Lovely to meet you. Story time is another great song and is shorter then this one and has a catchy Chorus.
Nightwish Army Canadian Division, Toronto Chapter reporting!
Welcome to the world of Nightwish and symphonic metal. They really are a unique band; each song is different and awesome. Floor's beautiful voice reaches your heart in unexpected ways. It's always amazing watching new people discover this awesome band and I hope you continue to explore their music. Hello from the NW Army Portugal. 🤘
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done and welcome to the Nightwish Family
When you want to go further on the path of our 1.83m (6ft.+) tall Dutch Valkyrie Queen Floor Jansen besides Nightwish, here is some background information on the best and most versitale female singer of our time. Floor joined the band 'After Forever' in 1997 at the age of 16. Here are some of my favourites: ‘Energize me’; Monolith of Doubt’ and Dreamflight’.
Floor attended the then new Rock Academy in 1999 and graduated in 2003. She also studied 2 years at the Conservatory (1 year Music Theatre and 1 year Opera).
'After Forever' disbanded in 2009 and Floor started her own band 'Revamp' from scratch. Here she experimented with different vocal styles within one song from full operatic to death growls in seconds. Here are some examples: ‘Misery’s no Crime’, ‘Wild card’ and ‘Disdain’.
Besides managing a band on her own she also did a lot of vocal coaching and as she is a perfectionist, she wants to do everything at 100%+. Eventually she had to pay the price and got a burnout. She had just recovered when end of september 2012 the call came from Nightwish to fill in for the remainder of the North American Tour at first as their second singer Annette got ill. Floor had just 48 hours to learn the whole setlist. There is a documentary made of this world tour: ‘Please learn the setlist in 48 hours’
Floor joined Nightwish after this iconic Wacken concert in 2013 as permanent member of the band. Floor continued to perform with 'Revamp’ also, but it was clear that she could not combine the two for much longer, so 'Revamp' disbanded in 2016. Floor did a side project called 'Northward' where she dived into the Hard Rock scene. The song 'While Love Died is a must see.
Her stunning performances on the Dutch TV show 'Beste Zangers 2019' gave her at last some more recognition in her home country where she was relatively unknown until then. There are numerous guest appearances with other bands to find on TH-cam. To see how to get a crowd of metalheads silenced and in awe watch her featuring with the band 'Epica' and the song 'Stabat Mater Dolorosa’ and to see her in full opera mode, watch her rendition of 'O Mio Babbino Caro' from Puccini. As live concerts were cancelled and home isolation due to the Covid situation, Floor discovered TH-cam in these years. Mindblowing covers, chats with her idols and other singers, vocal masterclasses, personal insights and so much more. She even made a video reacting to herself singing Ghost Love Score at Wacken. Lots of technical info and some memories of her starting with Nightwish.
Also her Fan Friday videos are hilarious. Just unpack some of these and other presents she left on her channel. Also videos of her solotour she did with songs of her impressive career. Her latest endeavour is her stunning solo album ‘My Paragon. Floor is a high sensitive person, so peace and quiet is as important for her. Living by the woods in Sweden with her husband Hannes Van Dahl (drummer of the band Sabaton), daughters Freja (turns 7 years next march) and Lucy (born last october) ,a couple of horses, dogs and cats, she found this.
Nightwish army from Pennsylvania, I am sure Gabriel will be along with the community welcome if he hasn't already. Nightwish has been around 25 years or so, at least that I how long I've been a fan.
Hello Liberty Belle. Welcome to our beloved Nightwish with our 6'1" Valkyrie goddess, Floor Jansen (Yahn-sen) on female lead vocals. You have entered the Nightwish, symphonic metal rabbit hole. Nightwish is the rare band whose live performances are even better than their studio productions. I recommend that you read all of Gabriel Bardac's comment and follow the link he provides at the end. That will take you to his community page with an abundance of other amazing NIghtwish live performances. Thank you and hope to see you back with more Nightwish reactions soon.
6 feet not 6.1 not close to 6.1
Liberty, it's best to include the song tittle and venue in your video header for best views
Thanks.
@@RedDawnDaily Yes put "Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken Open Air 2013 Show" in the title :)
I also think this is wise. And still Gabriel catches it. Welcome to the ride.
Hi LB, greetings from UK
Thank you for reacting to my favourite group 😊
What bitrate are you uploading in? Your video quality could do with an uplift.
@Liberty Belle Reacts: I don't know how you have your setup configured, but in the beginning of the video, the introduction of the video was glitchy. This tells me your recording rate and your play rate for the video is two different rates. I mention this so you can improve your reaction videos.
Please take this as the constructive criticism it is meant to be.
Oh, Liberty Belle - prepare yourself for a life-changing musical journey - and for an influx of subscribers if you let the Nightwish Army join you on your trip. There is more than you might imagine - follow Gabriel's list, be amazed every time. Enjoy the ride . . .
After hundred times listen to it - i get goosebumps. And waiting for giving credit to Jukka by Floor an one of her best performances ever. Credit to sound engineers, stage and filming crew as well

Audience in this concert was 82k+
Nightwish is more than just a band.....It's a musical experience.
I just read what Gabriel noted. One addition I would make: This concert is pretty much the wrapup of the tour with Floor Jansen having come on board mid tour with 48 hours to lear the lyrics to their setlist. She was an emergency replacement and I was struck by how well she managed on the first night having gone back to listen to what's available from that venue. But after some months of touring with the group, this performance on the night was carried off like she'd been there for a decade. It's truly a stunning concert and individual set piece in the one you chose.
I too found Nighwish only recently and had that similar question of 'how have I never heard of this band'. Had a similar reaction with another band that had only been around 7 or 8 years when I found them, yet as popular as they are, had never heard of them either. Liliac. I found Liliac by chance as I tend to listen to covers and tribute acts for something familiar with a different twist that I can listen to while doing artwork. It's familiar so it doesn't wreck concentration but gives me a different approach on something familiar. Listening to them, floored me so I dug in and listened to everything they put out and did it through reactors so I could get more info on them from fans. And a reactor is how I found Nightwish. So finding one, introduced the other. To that end, thanks for the reaction - great one. And I would recommend Storytime from the same concert without batting an eye. The whole concert is worth the investment to listen to it.. but, Storytime from this event is just flat amazing.
One last thing.. the first Nightwish song I listened to was Phantom of the Opera with Tarja. I love the original but always felt like it was a bit off. When I listened to Tarja and Marko as the Phantom and Christine.. Stunning performance and best version of Phantom ever recorded imo. I say that while also noting Floor is indespensible. The two singers are amazing in their own right. I can't stand Floor's Phantom; but, it is no reflection on Floor. It's a matter of preference for the way it was done by Marko and Tarja. I love both of them; but, I don't have to dislike either anymore than I'd have to dislike Billy Joel to say Queen has my favorite song of all time. It is what it is. At any rate, welcome to Nightwish from a fellow noob. Cheers!!
Great reaction
Greetings from 🇳🇱 🤘
Thank you.
Nightwish are an amazing band and I am a huge fan of them, so please react to more of their songs. But I want to now introduce to another band that you would probably like (if you like Nightwish). LOVEBITES are an all-female Japanese metal band consisting of elite musicians. In terms of technical musicianship, they are arguably THE most talented metal band on the planet. You'll also have their fans swamp your channel (just like the Nightwish army did) giving you 2,000 to 3,000 views in the first week. Here are two recent live songs you might want to react to:
1.) "Hammer of Wrath" th-cam.com/video/pHrWRT0Jeac/w-d-xo.html
2.) "We The United" th-cam.com/video/UnNxvgLI_Rg/w-d-xo.html
Greetings from Germany 🤘🔥🫶 Hope you do more Nightwish reactions. They‘ll surprise you more and more.
Check out Floor on Beste Zangers also, esp. Phantom and Shallow
Welcome aboard!!! YOU WERE NOT READY FOR THE NOTE!!!!!!!!
High Ms. Belle,....love you dearly! Thou art a thing of beauty and what's NOT to love about thee. Your hair is stunning, by the way,....nice Afro style!❤🥹👍🥰😉
Hi Liberty Belle. Congrats on the start of your reaction channel. Nightwish Army foot soldier checking in from Southern California. This song is the one that sets the hook. You will now need to continue your journey through with Nighwish and the rest of the the popular Symphonic Metal bands in the genre. We will be along for the ride.
This is what you get when every other kid on the block in Finland is into music. We have the most metal bands in the world per population. The singer (not Finnish) is out of this world with her talent, obviously. Btw., our music scene is so varied, you'd need a channel just for that. To name just some acts: we lost just now 'The Walking Encyclopedia of Popular Music', Mr Raittinen, R.I.P. He loved country music and recorded an album once in Nashville with none other than Scotty Moore (who said: "Guys, this here is the real deal, a true music man" - and he had played with Elvis . . .). And our most famous rock band once called Hanoi Rocks influenced bands like Skid Row, Poison and Guns'n'Roses, to name a few. Maybe you might like to check out our only Eurovision Song Contest Winner, 2006, Lordi, who are big Kiss fans.

After hearing the unbelievable voice of Floor you have to react to "Dimash Kudaibergen" singing OGNI PIETRA from the Arnau Concert on his own channel. This guy has an 7 octave range and he is trained since the age of 5 years old. Never heard a voice like this. I'm pretty sure you will love it. All the best from Germany 🇩🇪 Petra
This is symphonic metal. Nightwish, Floor Jannsen and Epica deserve playlists.😊
You need a better recording/stream setup....this looks less than 480P and stutters all over the place. Great reaction tho.
Thanks for the reaction. If you ever get annoyed of Nightwish or feel like needing to react to other groups. This rabbit hole has lots of connections to other rabbit holes:
- „The Dutch Ladies“: The Gathering (Annette van Giersbergen), Epica (Simone Simons), Within Temptation (Sharon den Adel), Scarlet Stories …
- „The Man with the Rolodex“: Arjen Lucassen with his projects Star One and Ayreon
- „Teachers of Warfare History and Humanity“: Sabaton
Heavy Metal was never a boring Music
Hi Liberty Belle, Nightwish Army Indonesian regiment here. Welcome to the world of Nightwish. I see Gabriel has made contact so you;re in safe hands. Just follow his guide and you won't go wrong. Even though the video quality wasn't good, what came through is your enjoyment and belive me, that's just the entrance to a very big rabbit hole. All I can say is strap yourself in and enjoy the journey which is, Nightwish. New subscriber btw.
You have joined the Nightwish Army now 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥
Sort of like medieval metal. Very cool and interesting.
Nightwish Army, Northern California reporting. Thanks for checking out Nightwish! Floor Jansen and the whole band are so amazing, you will never see music the same way again! 🥰
Quit listening to radio. They feed you crap/Top 40. Look around. There is a whole another world of music out there.
Hi girlie! (I’m 75 so I can say girlie.) You are so cute! Pretty too. Two separate things. But, more to the point. Floor (means “flower” in Dutch) Jansen (Yansen) had 48 hours to prepare for this concert when the previous singer left. She really is over 6 feet tall in her bare feet. She’s a cancer survivor. Backstage at a concert (I think this one) Hannes Van Dahl from Sabaton was drinking whiskey and she asked for some. Then she asked if he would share a cigar. He’s like “A rock goddess who likes whiskey and cigars? I have to marry her.” And they did it. Got married I mean. But that was later. It’s not generally known what else they did that night. Use your imagination. In her last concert before taking a break for maternity reasons she was seven months pregnant and looked like it. Just imagine what that girl’s going to be like.😊
She’d been on tour with NW for about 10 months before the Wacken festival!
You’re thinking of her first concert I think.
@@carlw8072 okay. Thanks. I wasn’t sure.
@@tommoxjr Really? I’ve read so many times that she joined them just two days before. In any case I’ll stop saying that. I usually preface my comments with “I read . . .” Besides, I don’t claim responsibility for anything I don’t remember. Doesn’t work in court. Just on TH-cam. Sometimes.
Nightwish Army Brasil do vision Santa Maria here!
Thanks General Bardac!!!!
I waited excitedly to see your reaction to epic ending. 😊Thanks for the video, it was fun to check out some Nightwish with you
Glad you enjoyed it!
NWA here thanks for listening. Hope you do more.
There she goes again. The Valkyrie Goddess of Symphonic Metal snags another soul! Welcome to the Rabbit hole, let us know when it's Storytime.

Does NW have a fan base? Lmao! The Nightwish Army led by Gabriel (unofficially) will be descending upon you. Follow his suggestions and do more! Good luck with your channel! NWA Philly. oh nice Floorgasm btw!
Do you hear the rumble drawing near?
They are many.
They are strong.
They are passionate.
But in all fairness - they are a pretty fun bunch to hang around with.
It's called: The Nightwish Army.
I am a 68 year old Prog fan and Nightwish are my favourite band by far
Rock opera but I prefer symphonic rock or Goth m,etal, it is known by many genre names. If you want you can call the the worlds most talented and gifted modern Music experiance. TY Thomas the keyboardest, your vision for this band was spot on.
Nightwish Army UK here for it 🤘
They have been around since 1996, I caught the flame of this in 2004, still a zepp head and always will be, but the experimentation in Rock circles such as Page Pink floyd, Queensryche and the like the symphonic sound of the strings and the harmonic scaled vocals is absolutely ethereal. almost otherworldly sound like the moody blues found an operatic singer and distortion.
82,000 Nightwish Army at that concert.
Nightwish Shadow Unit from Estonia reporting in ! 6'1'' Dutch Valkyrie Goddess spotted ! Gabriel Bardac entered !
This is called Symphonic Metal !!!
Floor her name is derived from the Roman Goddess of Spring, Flora.
Floor Jansen is called the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal and Empathy.
Floor Jansen is a soprano, with a range of more than 4 octaves (Eb2 to F6).
She can sing from classical to belting and raspy vocals like screaming and death growls. And she's also a voice coach and teacher to boot. Plus, huge vocal nerd 😉.
Floor Jansen was the singer of the Dutch metal band After Forever from 1997 to early 2009. From 1999 she studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg, where she graduated in 2003. She studied musical theatre and a year of opera. In addition to her activities at After Forever, she gave singing lessons. She plays guitar, piano and flute. On May 5, 2010, she presented her new band ReVamp, which was disbanded in September 2016.
From 1 October 2012 Jansen replaced Anette Olzon (Second singer of Nightwish after Tarja) as singer of Nightwish during the Imaginaerum World Tour (And she had to learn the setlist in 48h). On October 9, 2013, it was announced that she would be the group's regular new front singer. In 2015, Nightwish released the album Endless Forms Most Beautiful with Jansen as lead singer. Nightwish's second studio album with Jansen as front singer, Human. :II: Nature., was released in April 2020.
And the master of this magic is:
Our Metal Mozart Tuomas Holopainen (founder, leader, keyboardist, songwriter and the main composer for Nightwish)
Tuomas the keyboardist writes about 95% of Nightwish songs, music and lyrics. He also composes the music for the backing track they use. It is recorded in London with musicians from The London Philharmonics. Pip Williams helps with the orchestration. There are two London based choirs too on the backing track, the other one is a children's choir. And of course with a synth you can do a lot.
This was recorded at the 2013 Wacken (pronounced Vahken) Open Air festival in Germany in front of an audience of 82,000 people (one of the largest heavy metal festivals in the world and one of the largest open-air festivals in Germany). The fiery bull head is the symbol of the festival.
We hope, that there is more coming.

Lovely reaction to this Finnish band with Dutch singer!
Both audio and video quality however are in for improvement 🙂
Nightwish are awesome! Only band that I prefer the live concerts over the studio albums! Ofc I have all those too 👍 not to mention all the blu rays too, rabbit hole.
Diane, Nightwish Army US Division here. Nightwish is the best band ever!! Floor`s vocal`s make me tear up every time doesn`t matter what song she is singing. Tuomas is such a talented song writer and story teller!!
Nightwish Army Turku Finland here. A very nice reaction! Just Nightwish doing Nightwish things! And as you have surely noticed, although they are all outstanding , none of them standout. Nightwish is their own genre and no other band comes close to the level they are at. Enjoy the journey!
Welcome to the world of Nightwish Symphonic Metal! Enjoy the ride down the rabbit hole!🤘🎸Floor is the Valkyrie Queen!🤘🎸
Rock/Opera band out of Finland. This current singer Floor her husband is Sabaton's Drummer. They've been around since the late 90s shes the current singer 3rd overall. Check out her Poet and the Pendulum live. It will blow everything you think a song can be.
To learn more about what just Floor can do, pls look for "beste Zangers", 2019. There is quite a variety of songs.
