STARLIGHT Italians Nightwish take inspiration from Nightwish, a Finnish symphonic metal music group formed in 1996 in Kitee. Born as the Nightwish Tribute Band based on the idea of ??the current drummer Lorenzo Angelini, over time they have evolved by elaborating their own vision of the genre. Their sound evolves through various musical influences to create an orchestral symphonic metal with a cinematic impact. They have been able to blend heavy metal, opera music, gothic / dark atmospheres, folk parts, parts of neoclassical heavy / power metal and film soundtracks. While always remaining within the stylistic canons of Symphonic Metal, in each song the band has added or modified important elements of their sound, creating an excellent musical combination of three styles with particular characteristics: heavy metal music, symphonic arrangements, female opera voice . What is special about it? .... you say !! Many bands have done it and are doing it like them. The difference is that STARLIGHT Italians Nightwish are defining a seal, a real brand on this type of sound. Style is the main feature of STARLIGHT Italians Nightwish; the elegance in the composition, the subtle baroque style is combined with remarkable neo-classical shades, bringing euphony and pathos to the highest levels. The vocal parts are embellished with an absolutely unique voice and all skilfully mixed with a sharp but never excessive guitar work that creates situations of euphonic / groove / power alternation entrusted to the skilled hands of the guitarist Gianfranco Spinsanti and the bassist Stefano Marasà. It is difficult to find bands that can replicate these factors: STARLIGHT Italians Nightwish constantly evolve and offer the result of their professionalism and dedication to this genre, giving life to new musical creations.
HIGHWAY TO THE DREAM, the title of the show. It is not just a Symphonic Metal concert, where his own discography mixed with the best songs of Nightwish is presented, but a real "Musical" with epic and engaging atmospheres told and supported by videos / stories and dance choreographies.
