They're truly a force to be reckoned with. Un live qui est surtout le premier album de Nightwish avec sa toute nouvelle chanteuse, la Néerlandaise Floor Jansen.

The duets with bassist Marco also work really well, for example in the imminent I Want My Tears Back.Īll in all, 'Showtime, Storytime' is a great and worthy snapshot of Nightwish anno 2013/2014. Ce Showtime, Storytime a été enregistré le 3 août 2013 en Allemagne, au Wacken Open Air, lun des plus grands festivals métal qui soit, conclusion de la gigantesque tournée mondiale dImaginaerum commencé un an plus tôt et qui aura compté plus dune centaine de dates.
The way she handles Nemo, for one, is amazing. She not only treats the Nightwish material with great respect and professionalism - I think Jansen endows it with a personal touch which in effect benefits many of the tracks. She's so more rock'n'roll than Tarja, and she's a welcome notch closer to opera than Anette Olzon. 'Showtime, Storytime' contains NIGHTWISHs entire August 3 performance at the Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany. I'm well aware that there's probably been tweaked, cut, harmonized and all that in post-production, but even if that is the case, this recording is another testimony that the current Nightwish line-up is superb and one I'd be willing to bet my money on for years to come.įloor Jansen is the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow for Nightwish, I have little doubt about that. Showtime, Storytime is the first Nightwish production to feature Floor Jansen on vocals. Recorded during their live performance at the Wacken Open Air in Wacken, Germany on August 3, 2013. It proves that I wasn't on drugs or in any other way incapable of perceiving the sonic attack from the Finns + one Dutch woman. 2013 live album from the Finnish Symphonic Metal band. And in a way, I'm really happy that Nightwish and the good people at Nuclear Blast have decided to issue 'Showtime, Storytime'. This is the first Nightwish production to feature Floor Jansen on vocals. What better way to conclude the year as to recapture one of its outs.
It was a grand experience, it really was. Nightwish release the first trailer for Showtime, Storytime.Directed by Ville Lipiinen. When this DVD/Blu-Ray recording was made.
