With Gunmen (AFM), though, Orden Ogan have done just that, the Germans producing one of this years’ best Power/Heavy Metal offerings.Continue reading →

On The Road… with Nightwish, Children of Bodom, and Sonata Arctica

Posted on August 5, 2015 by News Team

Nightwish has been positively killing it in 2015. With their recent album Endless Forms Most Beautiful (Sony/Nuclear Blast), the band continues to bring their immaculate stage show to their global fan base. Following a sold-out US tour, Nightwish has been touring Europe this summer and nested back home for a massive show last weekend at Ratinan Stadium, in Tampere, FI. Holding upwards of 32,000 people, with a huge crowded soccer stadium, Nightwish’s evocative symphonic-influenced metal is a transcendent experience for the fan. The band took full advantage for their theatrical talents on this night, as if they play in this type of venue every day. Maybe they should! They were joined for this special occasion by their countrymen Children of Bodom and Sonata Arctica, for a tremendous bill. Captured here for Ghost Cult by Pekka Konttinen Photography, you can see what you are missing out on if you don’t live in Europe.
