This track is for me classic Nightwish. Tarja's clear (light?) voice complementing the instrumental power metal so wonderfully.

I love this song, it's one of the ones that first got me into metal when I was younger

Fun fact: Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica does backing vocals along with Tuomas for this song!

I love Nightwish, and this is a great cover.

Many moons ago, I was in an IRC room when power metal came up. Someone started talking about Elvenpath, so I went and looked up the band. "Huh, this is pretty good." So the first three albums went into my rotation. Then a few years later I saw a music video someone put together using 10th Man Down and footage from 08th MS Team and was freakin floored.

Edit: just posted the video over in !gundam@possumpat.io if anyone is interested
