Nightwish is a symphonic power metal band, formed in the town of Kitee, Finland in 1996. The band currently consists of Anette Olzon (vocals), Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards), Marco Hietala (bass, vocals), Emppu Vuorinen (guitars), and Jukka Nevalainen (drums and percussion).
The vocalist on all albums prior to 2005 was soprano Tarja Turunen.
Anette Olzon (ex-Alyson Avenue) joined the band on their most recent album Dark Passion Play and the corresponding World Tour.
The band's leader, keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen, composes songs that are often classified as either symphonic metal or power metal; their musical style has also been described as a symphonic metal variant, called opera metal and even in some cases called 'epic metal'.
Nevertheless, Nightwish is considered one of the main developers of the symphonic metal genre, which encompasses similar bands such as Within Temptation, Therion, Epica, Edenbridge, Lunatica, and Visions of Atlantis.
