Demo (Nightwish)
Nightwish is the first demo by Nightwish. It's untitled, but it's known under the name "Nightwish" today. Recorded from October to December of 1996, it is an acoustic album on which Emppu played acoustic guitars. The group's name, "Nightwish", comes from the first song they recorded together, and the demo included this song along with "The Forever Moments" and "Etiäinen". The first idea of the band was to create music much like the music played around campfires. However, after this recording Tuomas Holopainen decided that Turunen's operatic voice was too powerful for a project like this one, and decided to add in metal elements. The speaking in the intro of "Etiäinen" is spoken by Tuomas. All songs were composed by Tuomas. "Etiäinen" was later re-recorded as "Lappi (Lapland) Part IV: Etiäinen" and released on Angels Fall First.
