I can understand why more bands don't do this, but I think it would be interesting to hear some other bands take on some Nightwish hits.Nightwish is a Finnish rock quintet, formed in 1996 in the town of Kitee, Finland. It's still rereleasing old material without new bonus songs, but the versions are different enough to still be interesting.

If you need a bells-and-whistles special edition or a rerelease to get more money out of fans, then it's presumably a lot cheaper to take the existing tracks and strip the vocals out rather than record, mix and master 2-3 extra bonus tracks with every album cycle, and you get a full blown extra disc of content - but as I say, for me it's not content that I'm interested in.Ĭomplete aside from the topic, but I really enjoyed what Powerwolf did with their Sacrament of Sin special edition - they basically had their new album, and then an extra disc of other bands covering songs from their previous albums and putting their own spin on them. In total fairness, I can understand why a lot of bands these days do the "Instrumental album" thing. so that all the cover artists can do their thing. Subtitles, quick translation, saving new words with a single. I can see the benefit for cover artists and suchlike, but if the band is going to cater to them, surely they should be releasing versions of the album without guitar, without bass, without keyboards etc. Nightwish - The Escapist translation to English Learn Spanish with books, movies, and podcasts.

The pre-Once albums did all get re-released back in 2007 (I don't think they were remastered, but they definitely had the bonus tracks collected together and added on to the album tracklists), so there's likely to be less demand for them at this stage. That said, I agree that it's probably more likely to see albums like DPP etc.
It's one thing to decide not to play a particular song again (or ever, in the case of things like Ocean Soul or Master Passion Greed), but I think deciding 3 whole albums are off the table going forward might be a bit limiting. Songs like "She Is My Sin", or "Sleeping Sun" that have been regularly played in recent tours will probably still make it into the setlist - we might even see a couple of the songs from Decades resurrected in the future if the band enjoyed playing them. I got the impression that the Decades tour was a chance to give "one last outing" for songs that they hadn't played in a while, and probably wouldn't play again ("The Carpenter" and "Sacrament of Wilderness" being songs that were specifically mentioned).
