Founded from a 2002 pop-star contest in Finland, the band released several gold and platinum hits before disbanding after just 2 years.

My favorite bands, movies and games.

The film reel sound effects immediately remind me of the game Epic Mickey, a 2012 platformer published by Disney Interactive Studios for the Nintendo Wii. The game follows Mickey Mouse as The travels through the wasteland of Disney’s old and forgotten worlds and attractions.

Less Christmas, more winter, but the thought is still there. Tarja, Leah and Tuomas Holopainen.

Imaginaerum is many things, least of which is being my favorite album of all time. It tells a tale of marvelous proportions on a path winding from gentle piano to heavy metal, smooth jazz to roaring orchestrations.
