Gothic Opera
July 21st 2008 03:12
I know there are probably not many opera fans out there, but there are many gothic rock fans. What happens when you combine both gothic rock with an opera singer...you get the original Nightwish. When I first tell my friends about this, their reaction is what I expect; a questionable what followed by please explain. The combination may not sound very sufficient, but it does work.
Think about what the sound of the opera will do, take words and phrases to a deeper level of your soul with the depth and darkness of the sound. The sound of gothic rock is also dark and mysterious, so it's no wonder that someone hasn't thought of this sooner. Both sounds blend very well together so the listener does not hear a break in the sound.
My favorite song would have to be "Planet Hell." The song starts off as a John Williams soundtrack mixed in with some Danny Elfman. Later on the drummer chimes in along with the electric guitars and haunting keyboards. The male lead singer comes in with a gruff voice followed by the opera alto voice. The song is both catchy, haunting, and rocking.
