Album Description An extremely experimental and strong offering, as the band's improvement from its first disc is commendable. There are images of Stratovarius, Balance of Power, and Kamelot, all the while being firmly planted in the Power Metal realm (via Nightwish's thick and clear distortion). The female vocals mix well with the band's unique delivery, and the music becomes downright enchanting in places.The metallic and chunky "Gethsemane" makes excellent use of both piano and symphony sounds, while the riff-stutter drive of "Sacrament of Wilderness" is more straight-forward. The driving "The Riddler" is a top spot, and "The Pharoah Sails to Orion" is lavish and somewhat wicked. Other good cuts include "Stargazers," the mixed male/female story told within "Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean," and the rollicking instrumental "Moondance". Spinefarm. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFar outclasses their first album! Daniel E. Ray | Kimberly, ID USA | 12/25/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is easily the best second album of any band I have ever heard! I'm a little biased because I'm a fan of the band and have heard nearly all of their songs. My favorite songs by far would be "Nightquest" , which is heavy and melodic. "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" is the heaviest and most theatrical track on the album. Tapio Wilska's voice is used to maximum efficiency. His growling compared to Tarja'a soprano vocals are absolutely flawless. America's bands simply cannot compete (It's mostly crap anyway) This album is worth the price!" One of the most amazing albums...ever. Michael Smith | Chicago, IL | 09/27/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Nightwish is not for everyone. A "fem metal" hard rock band staring Tarja Turunen. They are from Finland and are simply one of the most unique bands in history. Not since Sarah Brightman have I heard a voice like Tarja's. Her voice is remarkably powerful. This power is evident in the songs Sleeping Sun, Walking in the Air, Swanheart and Angel's Fall First. You'll also notice that NO OTHER Nightwish album has 5 stars...I think that says something. What caused her separation from Nightwish to go solo (see Tarja - My Winter Storm) I do not know. But his album is surely one of the most remarkable, heavy metal, fem-metal albums of all time. Tarja's voice is simply that amazing and wonderful. Log onto YouTube and watch "Walking in the Air" for the evidence." Riveting musical epic J. Lee | 09/30/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Oceanborne is one of the best overall albums by nightwish. It's an awe inspiring musical epic for anyone."
