Band Name Origins:
- 'Nightwish' was the name of one of the band's early songs, which was never released on a full-length album. Tuomas Holopainen, the founding member of the band, thought that it gave a good description of what the music was about, so it became the band's name. Submitted by: Nanotechnology

Super Long Pop Songs:
"Ghost Love Score" Length: 10:00
Longest song they made. Also, throughout the song they keep genre-switching. Symphonic Metal to New Age to Metal to New Age to Symphonic Metal.
Submitted by: Leila
"The Poet and the Pendulum" Length: 13:53
This was even played in the radio many times when the album came out (even on pop stations and this is a metal song) since Nightwish is a huge band in Finland, where they come from.
