Thanks to Anette i became Nightwish fan, otherwise was impossible. I always respect her, and get so sad when the world was against her and comparing her to Tarja. Everyone is unique. Now she is back, and i believe all those who mocked her will be fans of her now. Anette, i admire you, you´re a force of inspiration. I love your positive energy towards life it helped me through my darkest times when you join Nightwish. This album will be amazing it shows what you are made of. Can´t wait and goes out on my birthday. Thank you and wish you all the sucess in this new Era. Dark Element rocks. \m/
I felt so understood like never before. It was strange, i went trough my darkest period and the name of the album was Dark Passion Play. Anette´s energy was so fresh. Imaginarium was so good. They did amazing stuff with her.
I was always a huge fan of the Anette years! I am now a massive Nightwish fan, and love all eras. My only gripe was Anette was the worst live singer. I purposely avoided the shows when she was in the band, but saw them with Floor, who is astounding.
She did her best Michael. She sang songs that weren´t for her voice and she made an effort to sing them in her own personal way. Not many pop singers couldn´t do what she did. She did amazing in my view. Yes, i love all Eras too. Hope they stay with Floor for many years, i´m afraid that they treat her badly one day and all is ruined. Now Anette is in a very good position, but she passed the hell in Nightwish. :/
she was neither better nor worse that Tarja or Floor for that matter. Whole albums are tailored for the singers, neither Tarja nor Flood can sing DPP and Imaginaerum songs better than Anette and just so she can't sing other albums good as the singers those albums were made for. In my opinion, all of the singers brought something great to the band. Hate to say this but Tarja is my favorite, by little, but still. I listen to nightwish since '03 or so, and that is the only reason why she is the one. First video i saw was She's My Sin live version, and ever since, that voice is embedded in my subconsciousness as the voice of Nightwish. But yeah, ALL THREE OF THEM ARE GREAT
the way people constantly believe that every lyric sung by Anette is directly about NW is.... frustrating. I mean, she moved on, NW moved on, even Tarja moved on. Can't you just freakin be happy that all of them are still out there playing music, so we can have more ? Instead of having NW with Tarja or Anette, we have NW with Floor, Tarja's solo career and now this project for Anette. Be happy now ? PS: and no, this song isn't about NW at all, it's about an old relationship of Jani.
Word mate!! Iam sick of all the hate. Come on. Grow up an move on. All we should care about is how much freaking awasome music we are getting. Of Annette stayd wit nightwish we never god to hear this epic song 😎👌
Anette went through a very bitter breakup/divorce personally and it got really ugly from what I read. Her lyrics are very obvious about her struggles in her personal life and her ability to find strength and rise up again. "Heres to You" says it all about what she was going through.
Every track they've released have been pure gold. From the melodies to the sound production this is some legendary stuff. If the whole album sounds like this it's going to be one of the best albums of all time.
Love all the positivity towards Anette and her new project. TBH I love it too; not sure why she got so much hate in Nightwish. Imaginarium is my favourite post-Tarja album from NW
This is the ultimate proof that Anette is basically capable of rocking any style she chooses, she's truly unique in the metal world, put her in any genre and she'd absolutely shine! And Jani is a genius.💜 This needs more attention!
No, she s not. This song is 100% the merit of the instrumentists who composed the music. Any decent vocal could fill her place just as fine. And btw, the instrumentists are copying Nightwish note by note on a lot of parts.
Yeah, she is! This is not a Nightwish copy songs, this is what every metal band can (or should be able to) play, this is not a "Nightwish gift". And btw this is more like Sonata than Nightwish. Anette is amazing!
+dan Mihaita Nope, no other vocalist would be able to song and bring live to this song like her :) and I don't recall Nightwish ever adding electronics into their songs, if you think this ever sounds a bit like NW..then I must say you have a very poor musical ears.
Really digging this new band. Anette sounds great and the songs sound like Nightwish with more electronic instead of symphonic. Songs are super catchy. Definitely buying this album!
I used to love you once long ago I opened my door and gave you a home You were my cairn and you were my creed My everything or at least so I thought Something died on the day that you left me Melodies, memories and my dreams Something left, something came, something darker Someone let the cold inside You ate my bread and drank from my well I dressed you in silk, sold all I could sell So I could keep your heart satisfied But every time you just asked me for more Deeper down to the hole where you made me To the vortex of pain that will stain me I won't drown, I won't lie, I won't die here I will fight, I will rise again I won't write you an ode nor confession Not a song but a war declaration Story told from the dawn of creation Symphony with a grim orchestration You were the harlot of my heart Like a fool I played my part But now you're hanging on your cross And I am banging in the nails You're no one Mean nothing You're worthless Dead to Me Years they have passed and I'm over you I've licked all my wounds and forged me anew I wish I could say I wish you the best, it isn't true I won't forgive, won't forget I won't write you an ode nor confession Not a song but a war declaration Story told from the dawn of creation Symphony with a grim orchestration You were the harlot of my heart Like a fool I played my part But now you're hanging on your cross And I am banging in the nails You're no one Mean nothing You're worthless Dead to Me You were the harlot of my heart Like a fool I played my part But now you're hanging on your cross And I am banging in the nails You're no one Mean nothing You're worthless Dead to Me You were the harlot of my heart Like a fool I played my part But now you're hanging on your cross And I am banging in the nails You're no one Mean nothing You're worthless Dead to Me Awesome!
Second album is one of the best melodic metal albums I've ever heard! And I'm in my late 30s and heard tons of metal over the years and its in my top 10 albums, amazing album!
Toumas has just left the chat haha I gotta say it, Anette is absolutely slaying both Tarja and Floor with this vocal performance in this song, I mean the power and the brightness comes through so well. Neither of the other two are delivering as good as Anette here in those areas. Man when she does her thing, she is awesome. Anette 2.0 is awesome! Please go and buy the hell out of The two albums! We need these guys to stay around, simply some of the best melodic power metal i've ever heard and i've been around this genre for decades.
I was trying to figure out why her voice was so familiar to me... and then, I read the description. I love the instrumentals on this. The lyrics are great, and Anette shines, as always.
Anette looks even more happier than she was at nw, also Jani is a beast I freaking love him, always followed him since he left sonata you're awesome!. Damn you guys rock, can't wait to see you guys here in Chile.
This song is about someone from EVERYONE'S life. Anette PLEASE keep at this, it's better than Nightwish. This fan base will grow. I am in love with the lyrics, riffs, and of course your phenomenal voice.
It would be a massive understatement to say I'm thrilled to see Anette back in action, and this was a great, great song to introduce this band. Best wishes for a great future for them!!!
I like this. And when the bridge started it was very much like NW, but not overall. I am glad we got Anette back in a good sounding band.... she was my favorite NW singer for sure.
@@tijana6034 Did it really take this long for you to notice that she can sing? Some of us knew that when she was in Nightwish. Maybe next time listen to singing instead of music in background. Btw, I know this will hurt some of you Tarja fans but Anette is much better at controlling her voice than Tarja and Floor.
I bought this CD, is amazing. My favorite songs are not the ones available in the music videos, but I like the CD in it's enitrety. I'm enjoying it, when I start to grow a little tired, I'll buy the second one. And I DEMAND the band to keep releasing more and more CDs hahaha!
I discovered and loved Nightwish when the singer was Anette, at the moment I still love the Nightwish despite Anette's lack. But I'm happy to know that Anette did not leave the musical world of symphonic metal forever. I love her style and voice. I am glad that is The Dark Element. I'm in love.
This mix of aggressive metal and Annettes voice is a rare symphony, I've never heard anything like this. Officially my favourite band of the moment it just pumps me up so much, they deserve so much more recognition
And be ready for more. She is putting out another symphonic metal album with 3 other female vocalists (the snippet she let us hear sounded amazing.) Then after that she said shes gonna begin recording her 2nd Solo album and says it will be very heavy and very metal, unlike her first solo album. 2 albums from her on the way im excited!
I've been listening to few of Anette's latest with Dark Element and she sounds great. I came on board with Nightwish during the Anette era and I'm pleased to see that she is doing well. I wouldn't be reading too much into the lyrics as it comes across as your standard 'break-up then moving on' relationship song.
Great, geile Nummer. Leider keine Trennung aktuell hinter mir, aber geht trotzdem ab! ;-) Gute Melodie, Musiker und Sängerin und echt kreative Passagen, wie ich finde.
Annete was my favorite nightwish singer. Really brought power and emotion to the band. Rock on forever!
For me nightwish is and will always be with tarja as lead singer , but here anette is magical .
Good to see Annette having fun and getting to do her thing
You're hanging on your cross and I'm banging in the nails -- best lyric ever!
Annette has a fairytale, magical, sweet tone in her voice.
sweet tone♥️
Please, just don't you dare to stop now! More albums!!!! Shine, Anette!
Of the 3 NW singers, Anette's solo work is just out of this world good.
Jani and Anette is a perfect match! Excellent songs and collab!
Very happy to see that all three Nightwish singers have landed where they belong.
Great music and Anette is beautiful.
Thanks to Anette i became Nightwish fan, otherwise was impossible. I always respect her, and get so sad when the world was against her and comparing her to Tarja. Everyone is unique.

Same here..My darkest times were healed by the DPP and Imaginarium days !

Underrated band... The music is just amazing ♥
The time in Nightwish is nothing compared to this fusion! I love her voice in every single song. Very good job there. Everything fits a 100%!!!
Jani is such an amazing songwriter, master guitarist, producer etc... combining Anette’s vocal, makes the best group in years!!
I'M IN LOVE! You guys deserve way more views and followers! I New metal era is here!
A "new metal era" would require something actually new :3
New metal? Where?....ahah!
AnielicA What they said lol. Love this but it ain't it ain't a new sound.
>New metal era
>Cain's Offering with Anette's vocals
Yes this is a New Era!

I thought she was badass in NW. Also, this song is not about NW... how dumb people are.
Anette went through a very bitter breakup/divorce personally and it got really ugly from what I read. Her lyrics are very obvious about her struggles in her personal life and her ability to find strength and rise up again. "Heres to You" says it all about what she was going through.
I am sure none of the lyrics of this album were about NW since she wrote NONE of them.
Every track they've released have been pure gold. From the melodies to the sound production this is some legendary stuff. If the whole album sounds like this it's going to be one of the best albums of all time.
Powerful, smooth vocals by Anette.
We're Always Loving You!
Personally.
I Miss You.
Anette Olson!
Respectly.
Anette Olzon simply the best! Great song!
Man I love Jani´s musical touch.
And Annette did an awesome job.
Interesting band
Love all the positivity towards Anette and her new project. TBH I love it too; not sure why she got so much hate in Nightwish. Imaginarium is my favourite post-Tarja album from NW
This song is so amazing.
This album is already one of the best I´ve ever listened to.
Thanks Anette, Jani and all who worked on this.
Anette sounds amazing and the band crushes it. Exceptional !
This is the ultimate proof that Anette is basically capable of rocking any style she chooses, she's truly unique in the metal world, put her in any genre and she'd absolutely shine! And Jani is a genius.💜 This needs more attention!
Yasss!
No, she s not. This song is 100% the merit of the instrumentists who composed the music. Any decent vocal could fill her place just as fine. And btw, the instrumentists are copying Nightwish note by note on a lot of parts.
OMG. Hilarious xD
Yeah, she is! This is not a Nightwish copy songs, this is what every metal band can (or should be able to) play, this is not a "Nightwish gift". And btw this is more like Sonata than Nightwish.
Anette is amazing!
+dan Mihaita Nope, no other vocalist would be able to song and bring live to this song like her :) and I don't recall Nightwish ever adding electronics into their songs, if you think this ever sounds a bit like NW..then I must say you have a very poor musical ears.
Amazing composition. First time i have heard this it didn't stick into my head. Now, after like a few months.. BEST SONG OF THE WHOLE ALBUM!!!!
My heart is so happy seeing Olzon back singing . love her style
Lyrics seem to be about Tuomas/Nightwish. The song is fire! 🔥
I'm so proud of Anette. Her voice has evolved so much! Love this sound. Compliments her so well.
Such a beautiful and unique voice!
Bravissimo!!!
This is insane. The riffs are ridiculous and the vocal melodies are soooo good!!
Really digging this new band. Anette sounds great and the songs sound like Nightwish with more electronic instead of symphonic. Songs are super catchy. Definitely buying this album!
cramx3 nightwish with a twist of stratovarious
Salvatore Oddo I immediately thought of Stratovarious
Would buy it but it’s feckng expensive lol
I like the the modern symphonic metal sound they got going on in both albums, it all blends together so well with Anette's vocals
This album sounds like she is singing from personal experiences . A great album , great songs and outstanding vocals from Anette.
I used to love you once long ago
I opened my door and gave you a home
You were my cairn and you were my creed
My everything or at least so I thought
Something died on the day that you left me
Melodies, memories and my dreams
Something left, something came, something darker
Someone let the cold inside
You ate my bread and drank from my well
I dressed you in silk, sold all I could sell
So I could keep your heart satisfied
But every time you just asked me for more
Deeper down to the hole where you made me
To the vortex of pain that will stain me
I won't drown, I won't lie, I won't die here
I will fight, I will rise again
I won't write you an ode nor confession
Not a song but a war declaration
Story told from the dawn of creation
Symphony with a grim orchestration
You were the harlot of my heart
Like a fool I played my part
But now you're hanging on your cross
And I am banging in the nails
You're no one
Mean nothing
You're worthless
Dead to Me
Years they have passed and I'm over you
I've licked all my wounds and forged me anew
I wish I could say I wish you the best, it isn't true
I won't forgive, won't forget
I won't write you an ode nor confession
Not a song but a war declaration
Story told from the dawn of creation
Symphony with a grim orchestration
You were the harlot of my heart
Like a fool I played my part
But now you're hanging on your cross
And I am banging in the nails
You're no one
Mean nothing
You're worthless
Dead to Me
You were the harlot of my heart
Like a fool I played my part
But now you're hanging on your cross
And I am banging in the nails
You're no one
Mean nothing
You're worthless
Dead to Me
You were the harlot of my heart
Like a fool I played my part
But now you're hanging on your cross
And I am banging in the nails
You're no one
Mean nothing
You're worthless
Dead to Me
Awesome!
Just read that their are recording their second album. Awesome!
And now first song is out and it's really good!
New song from them out today called The Pallbearer Walks Alone.
Already listened! It's awesome!
Second album is one of the best melodic metal albums I've ever heard! And I'm in my late 30s and heard tons of metal over the years and its in my top 10 albums, amazing album!

I love the instrumentals on this. The lyrics are great, and Anette shines, as always.
I just found this band. Annette is amazing.
Simple: strong, melodic & powerfull
She shines... Love it, she’s amazing.. the sound is unique. Some people might say they sound like nightwish but they don’t
My favorite song of this band. "You were the harlot to my heart, like a fool I played my part!", this part of the song is amazing.
Best song on the CD I think, reminds me of Century Child-era.
she's really a very good singer!!!!!
Dead To Me is so romantic and very heavy Anette is very energic she is so strong leader
whoever wrote the lyrics is incredibly talented
Jani Liimatainen
One more perfect song, from a perfect album!!! Anette, how I missed your voice!!!
Anette looks even more happier than she was at nw, also Jani is a beast I freaking love him, always followed him since he left sonata you're awesome!. Damn you guys rock, can't wait to see you guys here in Chile.

this is amazing
I have to see this song performed LIVE!!!!
I have no words, this is so powerful! I just can't stop listening to this album.
This band is becoming better and better! Great song!!
I always enjoyed your work Anette always surpassing herself Congratulations.
Might be the best one yet wow, that intro too, wow! Melodies everywhere!
Wow so good!!!
Que hinoooooo ❤
Parabéns Jani, Anette e pessoal, eu ameeeeeeei!!
O love u mona
This entire album has completely blown me away. It has far exceeded my expectations! Bring it on!
I love her voice, it is my childhood 💚🤘, my favourite nightwish singer... 💚
It would be a massive understatement to say I'm thrilled to see Anette back in action, and this was a great, great song to introduce this band. Best wishes for a great future for them!!!

Me too! I liked NW with Anette, and now I love The Dark Element with her!
Album of the year!
Annette sounds better here then in nightwish, something fell into place on this album for sure
Her albums with Nightwish are amazing
she finally- kinda- learned to sing
@@tijana6034 Did it really take this long for you to notice that she can sing? Some of us knew that when she was in Nightwish. Maybe next time listen to singing instead of music in background.

So good listening to Anette’s voice once again!
This is absolutely amazing!I just hope Anette will keep rocking with this band,instead of it just being a project!
OMG I wanna hear this song to the top of the volume! It's so amazing. Perfect lyrics, perfect harmony. I'm so proud of you Nettan ❤
Band sounds great Annette looks and sounds goid
One more amazing song!
This mix of aggressive metal and Annettes voice is a rare symphony, I've never heard anything like this. Officially my favourite band of the moment it just pumps me up so much, they deserve so much more recognition

I just love Anette
Anette is back with a bang !!. And to prove that to all those who were comparing her to Tarja, that she really rocks !
This is pure fantasy... no enough words to tell how perfect this is!!!!!
Great, geile Nummer.
Leider keine Trennung aktuell hinter mir, aber geht trotzdem ab! ;-)
Gute Melodie, Musiker und Sängerin und echt kreative Passagen, wie ich finde.
Annette, Back To Her Absolute best. Can't wait for the Album.
Ma girl is back and better than ever
Love this song!
another monster tune on the album, amazing
All the songs from TDE are amazing !!! I hope to watch them playing live !
This song is awesome, my favourite from the album.
Tremendo temazo ... desde que salio este discazo no me canso de escucharlo.
Anette y Jani..... la dupla perfecta y la banda en general esta de 10 ....
Love you Annette!
Glad to see you back
Every new track they release makes me more and more anxious to have this album on my hands! \m/
Waiting for their next album!!!! This is great!
Again, perfection, big things ahead for these guys, bring on the album
so beasutiful. nice to have you back Anette!!!!
Amazing!!
Loving this. Good to see Annette back. Missed her voice. Hope this band makes it's way out to the states.
Esta genial a la fecha sigue siendo uno de mis álbum favoritos la verdad se lucio jani y anette
This is so, so good, a really great Album. You all can be very proud of it. I love it and wish you all the best.
