I know the term “genius” is overused, but Tuomas Holopainen is a true genius. Nightwish is one of my favorite bands.

Tuomas Holopainen is indeed a genius. More to the point, he is a musical polymath and a world class empath. No one writes, composes and performs as he and the rest of Nightwish do. Their latest album is jaw-droppingly good. Lanternlight is perhaps the most beautiful piece of poetry set to music that I have heard. Floor's voice, and especially her lower register is akin to an emotional depth charge to the heart. Those of us who are turning the pages of the last chapter of our lives will find special significance in this work.
