It was there that I got the idea: what if I put together my own project? I hadn't yet come up with the name 'Nightwish', but the concept was already in my head. The band would be acoustic and its style would be mood music. It wouldn't be heavy metal at all – we'd have acoustic guitar, some flutes, strings, piano, keyboards, and definitely a female vocalist. It was clear that it had to have a female singer, because at the time, <a href="/wiki/The_Third_and_the_Mortal" title="The Third and the Mortal">The 3rd and the Mortal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Theatre_of_Tragedy" title="Theatre of Tragedy">Theatre of Tragedy</a> from Norway, and <a href="/wiki/The_Gathering_(band)" title="The Gathering (band)">The Gathering</a> from Holland were a big thing to me. <a href="/wiki/Ulver" title="Ulver">Ulver</a>'s album <a href="/wiki/Kveldssanger" title="Kveldssanger">Kveldssanger</a> was also a big influence. I listened to Kveldssanger a lot and thought that maybe I should try to do that kind of stuff even better. — Tuomas Holopainen<a href="#cite_note-OUaN-17">[17]</a></blockquote> He soon invited friend and schoolmate <a href="/wiki/Emppu_Vuorinen" title="Emppu Vuorinen">Erno "Emppu" Vuorinen</a> to play <a href="/wiki/Steel-string_guitar" class="mw-redirect" title="Steel-string guitar">acoustic guitars</a>, and the classical vocalist <a href="/wiki/Tarja_Turunen" title="Tarja Turunen">Tarja Turunen</a>, who had shared the same music teacher, <a href="/wiki/Plamen_Dimov_(musician)" title="Plamen Dimov (musician)">Plamen Dimov</a>, a few years earlier.

The full-length Angels Fall First album was released in November 1997 and reached number 31 on the Finnish album charts, with the single "<a href="/wiki/The_Carpenter_(Nightwish_song)" title="The Carpenter (Nightwish song)">The Carpenter</a>" reaching number 3 on the Finnish singles chart;<a href="#cite_note-nw_bio-3">[3]</a> "The Carpenter" single was released as a split with fellow Spinefarm artists <a href="/wiki/Children_of_Bodom" title="Children of Bodom">Children of Bodom</a> and <a href="/wiki/Thy_Serpent" title="Thy Serpent">Thy Serpent</a>.<a href="#cite_note-allmusic-20">[20]</a> The album is also one of the two releases which features Holopainen's vocals, appearing on four of the album's eleven tracks alongside Turunen's.<a href="#cite_note-allmusic-20">[20]</a> The band made their live debut in their hometown <a href="/wiki/Kitee" title="Kitee">Kitee</a> at the Huvikeskus on December 31, 1997, in front of 400 people.

According to their music teacher, Plamen Dimov, he and Holopainen have totally different characters, and thus difficulties were expected to arise.<a href="#cite_note-nw_bio-3">[3]</a> But Vuorinen was told to stay cool and "bite the bullet", and the problem was never addressed again.<a href="#cite_note-OUaN-17">[17]</a> Later, Holopainen confessed that, at that time, he seriously started thinking about breaking Nightwish up. After a show in Russia, he sent a text message to fellow musician Tony Kakko of metal band Sonata Arctica, telling him that he did not think he had a band any longer, and asking him what plans he had for next year.<a href="#cite_note-OUaN-17">[17]</a> After the Over the Hills and Far Away tour in 2001, Holopainen called their labels <a href="/wiki/Drakkar_Productions" title="Drakkar Productions">Drakkar</a> and Spinefarm, unofficially declaring Nightwish was over. He told them he might produce another album, but he'd never perform another show with the band. The same message was also written on the band's message board.<a href="#cite_note-OUaN-17">[17]</a> Straight after the last show of the tour, Holopainen went on a week-long hiking trip to <a href="/wiki/Lapland_(region)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lapland (region)">Lapland</a> with Tony Kakko, where they talked about the band, leading Holopainen to decide that he could not break Nightwish up that easily.<a href="#cite_note-summer-33">[33]</a> When he returned from Lapland he immediately received a phone call from Ewo Pohjola, CEO of Spinefarm, offering to become their manager and help him straighten things up, and Holopainen agreed.<a href="#cite_note-OUaN-17">[17]</a> To continue with Nightwish, Holopainen decided some changes were in order. Beside choosing Ewo as their new manager, he also asked Vänskä to leave the band. He would later cite musical differences as another reason for the breakup.<a href="#cite_note-MHammer-18">[18]</a> Marko Hietala (<a href="/wiki/Tarot_(band)" title="Tarot (band)">Tarot</a>) was asked to replace Vänskä, effectively leaving his previous band, Sinergy. In addition to playing bass guitar, Hietala would also perform male vocals. Holopainen has since said publicly that he and Vänskä still keep in touch, contrary to rumours saying that they have not met since. However, they are not interested in making another project together.<a href="#cite_note-OUaN-17">[17]</a> In 2002, Nightwish released <a href="/wiki/Century_Child" title="Century Child">Century Child</a>, along with the singles "<a href="/wiki/Ever_Dream" title="Ever Dream">Ever Dream</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Bless_the_Child_(song)" title="Bless the Child (song)">Bless the Child</a>". Century Child was certified gold two hours after its release,<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> and platinum two weeks afterwards. It set a record on the Finnish album charts of most distance between a first place album and the second place.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> A music video was filmed for "Bless the Child", with a second one filmed for "End of All Hope" later, without any single support. It contains clips from the Finnish movie <a href="/wiki/Kohtalon_kirja" title="Kohtalon kirja">Kohtalon kirja</a> (English: The Book of Fate).<a href="#cite_note-kohtalon-37">[37]</a> The main difference from previous albums is the use of a live Finnish orchestra on the tracks "Bless the Child", "Ever Dream", "Feel For You" and "The Beauty of the Beast".<a href="#cite_note-phantom-38">[38]</a> An enduring favorite of fans is the band's version of "<a href="/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera_(Andrew_Lloyd_Webber_song)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber song)">The Phantom of the Opera</a>", from the famous <a href="/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera_(1986_musical)" title="The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)">musical of the same name</a> by composer <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Lloyd_Webber" title="Andrew Lloyd Webber">Andrew Lloyd Webber</a>. The song was routinely played in concerts until October 21, 2005, when vocalist Tarja Turunen was fired from the band and later replaced with <a href="/wiki/Anette_Olzon" title="Anette Olzon">Anette Olzon</a>, whereupon the band announced that they would never play the song live again.<a href="#cite_note-phantom-38">[38]</a> This would hold true for 17 years until 27 and 28 November 2022, when Nightwish was joined by Dutch singer <a href="/wiki/Henk_Poort" title="Henk Poort">Henk Poort</a> on stage at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam to perform the song.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> In 2003, Nightwish released their second DVD, the documentary End of Innocence. It tells the story of the band in Holopainen, Nevalainen and Tapio Wilska's words for two hours.<a href="#cite_note-innocence-40">[40]</a> The documentary also features live performances and other exclusive footage. Vocalist Tarja Turunen got married during the summer of 2003, and there were rumours that the band was about to be dissolved. These rumors were, at the time, proven to be false, as the band continued to play concerts for another year and released another album. Tarja's marriage later played a part in her dismissal from the band in the autumn of 2005.<a href="#cite_note-nw_bio-3">[3]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2004–2005:_Chart-topping_success_with_Once_and_Turunen's_dismissal">2004–2005: Chart-topping success with Once and Turunen's dismissal</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Nightwish&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 2004–2005: Chart-topping success with Once and Turunen's dismissal">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Once_(Nightwish_album)" title="Once (Nightwish album)">Once (Nightwish album)</a></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1235681985">.mw-parser-output .side-box{margin:4px 0;box-sizing:border-box;border:1px solid #aaa;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em;background-color:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle,#f8f9fa);display:flow-root}.mw-parser-output .side-box-abovebelow,.mw-parser-output .side-box-text{padding:0.25em 0.9em}.mw-parser-output .side-box-image{padding:2px 0 2px 0.9em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .side-box-imageright{padding:2px 0.9em 2px 0;text-align:center}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .side-box-flex{display:flex;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .side-box-text{flex:1;min-width:0}}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .side-box{width:238px}.mw-parser-output .side-box-right{clear:right;float:right;margin-left:1em}.mw-parser-output .side-box-left{margin-right:1em}}</style><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1096940132">.mw-parser-output .listen .side-box-text{line-height:1.1em}.mw-parser-output .listen-plain{border:none;background:transparent}.mw-parser-output .listen-embedded{width:100%;margin:0;border-width:1px 0 0 0;background:transparent}.mw-parser-output .listen-header{padding:2px}.mw-parser-output .listen-embedded .listen-header{padding:2px 0}.mw-parser-output .listen-file-header{padding:4px 0}.mw-parser-output .listen .description{padding-top:2px}.mw-parser-output .listen .mw-tmh-player{max-width:100%}@media(max-width:719px){.mw-parser-output .listen{clear:both}}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .listen:not(.listen-noimage){width:320px}.mw-parser-output .listen-left{overflow:visible;float:left}.mw-parser-output .listen-center{float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto}}</style><div class="side-box side-box-right listen noprint"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"> <div class="side-box-flex"> <div class="side-box-image"><figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg/50px-Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="50" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg/75px-Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg/100px-Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="160" data-file-height="160" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div> <div class="side-box-text plainlist"><div class="haudio"> <div class="listen-file-header"><a href="/wiki/File:Nightwish_-_Nemo.ogg" title="File:Nightwish - Nemo.ogg">Nightwish – Nemo</a></div> <div><audio id="mwe_player_0" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="232" style="width:232px;" data-durationhint="27" data-mwtitle="Nightwish_-_Nemo.ogg" data-mwprovider="local"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a2/Nightwish_-_Nemo.ogg" type="audio/ogg; codecs="vorbis"" data-width="0" data-height="0" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/transcoded/a/a2/Nightwish_-_Nemo.ogg/Nightwish_-_Nemo.ogg.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" data-transcodekey="mp3" data-width="0" data-height="0" /></audio></div> <div class="description">Nightwish's style in this period made heavy use of Tarja's soprano lead against an orchestral background</div></div></div></div> <div class="side-box-abovebelow"><hr />Problems playing this file?
