Been reminded of this band and this awesome record recently, and had to share my favorite song from them ever, a ten-minute epic.
From Finaland, this symphonic power metal group released this album in 2004, during my formative teenage years, so it’s been imprinted of this smooth brain of mine lmao.
I feel like this could be the soundtrack to a fantasy film or some such, with the epic drama and bombastic parts during the climax.

How about “Ghost Love Score”? At the time this performance was recorded, Floor Jansen had been temporarily hired to help complete the tour after Anette Olzen left.
When I saw how Floor Jansen just nailed the performance of this song, I knew band was going to keep her. This lady can shake the earth with her powerful voice, she’s absolutely one of the best vocalists in metal. Seeing her perform this song live was one of the best things I’ve ever witnessed at a live show.

You’re right, you just can’t beat this song at all lmao. And from that vid Floor does a wonderful job killing it! I may or may not check out the rest of their stuff based on this going forward, as opposed to just ignoring it completely lol.

Endless Forms Most Beautiful was an outstanding album. Favorite tracks:
Alpenglow
Elan
The Greatest Show On Earth (24 minute song!)
Sagan (for some reason this song was only released as a single, it’s not on the album, even though it was released at the same time)
