Our Nightwish series continues as we dive into the Oceanborn and Wishmaster era of the band. 

In this episode, we explore how the band’s sound developed across these two releases, with sharper songwriting, more ambitious arrangements, and Tarja’s vocals taking on an even bigger role. We cover the story behind both albums, talk through their influence within the symphonic metal scene, and, of course, highlight and dissect my hidden gems from each release - those tracks that do not get the spotlight they deserve. 

Keep an eye out for future episodes in this series, where we’ll continue the journey through Nightwish’s discography and uncover hidden gems on iconic albums like Once and Dark Passion Play.
