It’s official!!!! After attending the ERGO expo, I now have my shirt and bib number. We stopped by many of the booths and purchased some items to take home to continue our training. I’ve also laid out items that I’ll be using during the run: bandaids for nipples, anti-chafe cream, footgloss for blisters, sunglasses, headband, mizuno running shoes, Fitbit, and GU for energy replacement. I’m get excited and nervous at the same time, and it’s not even race day. . #offical #shirt #racing #racingbib #number #17501 #running #runner #26miles #marathon #42k #gu #sunglasses #antichafe #blisters #fitness #ergo #expo #athens #athensmarathon #underarmour #footgloss #2017 #bandaid #greece

17501 People say that Nightwish used to be an unique-sounding band back in the day but that from Once onwards they started to make really generic symphonic metal that sounds like any of the billion bands trying to copy them and, honestly, I think it’s quite the opposite. Tarja-era Nightwish was marked by sheer operatic vocals and flourishing grandiloquent orchestral arrangements that were heavily influenced by classical music. That could be quite original around the band’s first releases since they pretty much helped to create the genre but nowadays it’s pretty much the standard for the average symphonic metal band. Anette-era Nightwish, on the other hand, reeks of musical theatre in the melodies and singing styles, combined with whimsical cinematic James Horner-ish orchestrations that wouldn’t sound displaced in a fantasy flick for young audiences. I don’t see many bands doing the same nowadays. And something I must praise current Nightwish for is how they explore every possibility an orchestra can offer. Most symphonic metal bands mostly rely on the strings for their orchestral arrangements, but Nightwish also knows to make good use of the brasses, the percussions and, especially, the woodwinds not only to bring up the grandiloquent-ness necessary to a symphonic metal act, but also to create soft atmospheric moments of wonder and emotion that truly feel they could belong in a motion picture. Nightwish is evolving and thinking out of the box, not losing their creativity.
