1411 Nightwish - Last of the Wilds (Erämaan viimeinen)

From: Dark Passion Play, Year: 2007

Genre: Symphonic Metal/Folk Metal

Been meaning to pick another Nightwish track for a while now. This is quite a neat track, the Uilleann bagpipes really add a lot to the sound.
The song actually has two versions: Last of the Wilds is an instrumental, which was released worldwide on their Dark Passion Play album. Erämaan viimeinen is essentially the same song with vocals sung in Finnish; this version apparently was only released in their native Finland. The vocals on Erämaan viimeinen were actually sung by Jonsu, who is the lead singer of the band Indica.
