  • I love Sabine's voice, it is so unusual <3.

  • I like this band because the songs aren't all (some still are) dark and gothic and overdone, many of them have morale-boosting or positive tones on them too. The Wild Chase and Holy Fire are best examples. I got sick of Nightwish after a couple of songs even though they aren't really bad- I just hate all the darkness and stuff.

  • Sabine!!!!!!!!!! Unique!

  • Very Good!!!!!!!!

  • i really wonder why the hell ppl discuss tarja/anette stuff in a edenbridge video?

  • Soooo, I watch them performing, and I have to wonder... who's the invisible keyboard player?

  • I love her voice!

  • Just to set the record straight,I earlier posted comment that Edenbride was 4-5 years older than Nightwish based on word from a ProgPowerUSA prod manager. This info was not correct.They and Nightwish released thier first official albums in 98. Edenbridge does have a larger overall body of work to their credit, but not as much recognition.The new NW album should be out in about a month (Imaginarium).They are catching up a little. I have not heard what EB's plans are for new album yet.

  • beautiful song!!

  • All you Edenbridge fans will get a total kick out this early Nightwish vid I'm about to tell you about.Youtube search: "Nightwish tv", and go to search page. The first 2 hits are the same thing....99 tv appearance/2 songs live/Nightwish. Watch Tarja movements/facial expressions, especially Gethsemane.And the songs even, it could almost have been EDENBRIDGE! Edenbridge is about 4-5 years older than Nightwish and has produced much more work. I think Edenbridge is actually better than NW.

  • @kevingthompson13

    Try to read some wiki before posting stupid posts like this and mislead ppl.

    Nightwish formed in 1996, first album (Angels Fall First) - 1997, second (Oceanborn) - 1998.

    Wishmaster is out in 2000.

    Edenbridge formed in 1998, first album - 2000.

  • @kevingthompson13 edenbridge . org/en/m70/

    So comment this, dreamer!!! And learn how to admit your mistakes. No offense!

    Sry for my english.

  • @daniser87 Angels Fall First was not recorded as AN OFFICIAL ALBUM, it was a DEMO.Emmpu and Jukka were in the ARMY and Tarja was enrolled in music school.It was a demo self produced as an interest/project between them while they toyed with the idea of becoming a band.Spinefarm records picked it up late 97 and they did 7 gigs. Oceanborn was released December 98 still as a "hopeful" uncertainty. It had some local success (Finland). This prompted them to go forward as an official band.

  • @daniser87 Edenbridge was a group for a little longer but without Sabine. Technically they both released their professional debut albums in 98. We both had valid points from a perspective.I have actually been working on a production team to bring EB to the USA. I tell you, it was Toumas Holopainen that put me onto this band.I work around most of these people and a lot of what I get about them comes from them.Some is obviously "official" versions.I only work here, and do my best to support them.

  • @kevingthompson13 Well, if it's true, the information you provided is very interesting. I started listening to the Edenbridge just a two weeks ago and they captivated me nearly as Nightwish two years ago. I noticed that their styles are very similar but on other hand EB is not an another clone of NW and have their own face. I thought that NW inspired EB. But now you came and turned my world upside down)))

    P.S. Where can I listen to earlier works of Edenbridge?

  • @kevingthompson13 I'm with you on this! Edenbridge is by far better then Nightwish as they still have Sabine! Nightwish screwed up when thet dumped Tarja! Anette is okay but I don't think she could do a good job on the earlier songs of Nightwish. I'm by far a die hard Edenbridge fan! Oh, and I'm 58 yrs old and a father of 4 and a grandfather of 4!

  • @MTLNCK52 I was working on an some playlists recently featuring symphonic genre bands and was obviously including Pink Floyd.I advertantly I got into a bizzare band war when I mentioned that there were some bands equal to or better than PF.After this went on for a couple weeks, I DARED PEOPLE TO FIND EDENBRIDGE; Arcana and then comment.WELL, many did this challenge and the war was over.I was swamped with great comments about them.Coming from PK devotees that was a major event. Amberian Dawn too.

  • @MTLNCK52 But tarja had decided to leave on her own, she only got kicked out before she had planned to leave the band on her own. So nightwish getting a new singer was inevitable.

  • @RawrItsJuul That's all fine and dandy but Anette does not have the capacity to sing certain songs that were written for Tarja!

  • @MTLNCK52 The songs where written for nighwish and now anette is nightwish. They cant just stop playing old songs or just forget about them.

  • @RawrItsJuul Yeak, I know, but I'm just saying that she won't do them justice!

  • @MTLNCK52 Some songs sound really good with her. Higher then hope and romanticide for example I like them just as much with as without tarja. But I dont really think this is the best place to debate that. Edenbridge and this song are both awesome!

  • I will probably buy this song on itunes :)

  • I HATE TO TELL ALL YOU COMPLAINERS...THIS BAND WAS WHY TUOMAS STARTED NIGHTWISH! Edenbridge is 2 years older than Nightwish and if you listen to EARLY NW like Getsemane, you'll hear some obvious influence.One sad thing about this band, they dont seem to come accross overly well on the live videos. If you listen to them on album version videos, they are great.They have a recent pro vid that sounds good, but has bubbles floating down and distracts you from video.Sadly,they are'nt a "video band".

  • @kevingthompson13

    are you sure that is an influence ?

  • @PEPELUPESLUPES Actually yes. In/around mid 90s, Edenbridge was THE new sound and all the people in high school & college studying music were onto them. Tuomas, Emppu, and Tarja were all studying music in Finland about that time and decided they liked this. If you youtbe search: "Nightwish tv", you will find an awesome television appearance by them around 98 I think. When you listen to and see them you'll know.Tarja emmulted Sabine even. Its amazing!

  • I can't hear her. The drum is too loud or something.

  • I can recognise off-key singing when I hear it. And I hear it here.

  • @maksphoto78 what are you talking about?! this sounds exactly like the studio version. you want to here off key? listen to anette try to sing tarja nightwish, Sabine sounds amazing live.

  • Fantastic song from a fantastic band!

  • I like this band. Just I wish the guitarists didn't use signature guitars (Gilbert/Vai). I dunno... maybe they enjor its sound, but I'd argue that many other Ibanez guitars have the same sound for this style of play. Oh ya.... the singer is an angel :O

  • She hasn't a sopran voice. But I am happy, cause I don't like to listen to the same voice all the time ..... her voice is soft and nice ..... good stuff !

  • How awesome is this band! Leaves new Nightwish behind....

  • ti adoro sabine!!!!! che voce angelica

  • Wow la sabine edelsbacher è davvero bravissima

  • Generic crap, and she can't really hold a note.

  • @maksphoto78 metalheads , you dont know music. you dont have the right to give any bad comment to this great band.

    if only you metalheads could understand the quality of this music ...

  • @maksphoto78 KISS MY ASS! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T LISTEN TO IT!

  • @maksphoto78 I'm sorry, but she really can. You don't havea fucking clue what you're on about. <.<

  • How anyone connot like this superb band is beyond me

  • hey girly, show us your boobs!

  • Damn, she's ugly. The drummer needs to drop the double bass because it slows the entire pace down. Bassist has a crappy technique. Only thing I liked here was the lead guitar player. I thought this was a very average song and a very average performance... kind of pointless.

  • @RebornThroughHate "I label you... a whiner" - Dogbert

  • Muppets Tarja is nothing like Sabine (Edenbridge), both are talented, and sure both are female, but that's where the similarities end. I like Edenbridge's style.

  • I love this band! All their songs are great! Specially "Red ball in blue sky" from Aphelion album

  • I love this band! All their songs are great!

  • I saw a comment like this several videos ago, and I have to agree....... Why the FUCK does everybody have to start comparing shit to Tarja?!?!

    She never cared about Nightwish, and she never cared about her fans. Let the bitch fade into obscurity, which is EXACTLY what will happen.

    This vocalist is different, AND, the music is different as well.

    In all honesty, it reminds me some what of the old Helloween songs, just with a female vocalist.

    Props to Edenbridge. Good stuff.

  • @chromeyes Edenbridge is awesome, yes. Nightwish was great, yes. but Tarja, although she never cared for Nightwish fans and is all about publicity, she is still a great artist.

  • @chromeyes And why everybody talk about Nightwish on others band's videos? SHUT UP BITCHES

  • Cute? Not really.

  • this is crap!

  • @seaquest2323 ur crap

  • @seaquest2323

    OHHHH THANK GOD, THERE IS SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME OPINION WITH ME.. PEOPLE, ARE YOU DEAF ?? THIS THING SUCKS.. I HAVE NEVER SEEN WORSE FAKE NIGHTWISH COPY-CUT..

  • @SwanSong158 lol I can tell this is probably the only song by Edenbridge you listened to. This is not a Nightwish rip-off, Edenbridge is mainly a symphonic metal band. Their songs sound very dreamy and melodic and ya, they do have a couple power metal songs like Nightwish but the important fact is that they aren't copying anything, they do their stuff which is awesome and very singular. I mean, if I listen to random gothic/symphonic groups, I can easily recognise these guys songs.

  • amo! *---*

  • ONE OF MY FAVORITES FROM THE EARLY STUFF!

  • You see that guy with black shirt and long hair in the crowd??? Well, i wish i was him

  • hd clip in my count!

  • goed bezig jongens. meisje trouwens ook

  • Awesome. Hope to see them live here in Buenos Aires someday. Sabine is gorgeous and has a beautiful voice, and the guitar solos are magical.

  • awesome song .

  • Awesomeness>>>>> come play US soil before the end of time (Dec 21, 2012)

  • Comment removed

  • Love it! Epic. Nuff said.

  • beautiful song.like it .

  • If you listen to her on some of thier other songs, she really does sound similar to Barbara Streisand <3

  • o my god....

  • very generic XD...

  • Very nice song !

    C'est un rythme soutenu qui me fait galoper !

    Thank you for posting

  • very cool band .the vocalist reminds me of a vocalist i know.

  • yheeaaa !!

    excelenthe temaa

  • otima banda

  • Love the guitar work !!!

  • Liking this a lot. Very good.

    Good post.

  • what a great piece of ass that one

  • she looks like indian or something

  • @BetterTasteThanU

    There is no end of such trash-comments.

  • amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My first exposure to Sabine was through the Beto Vasquez album Infinity. I liked what I heard and thought I should check her "home" group out.

    They're all talented, but I wish they would mix things up. Allow her more vocal versatility and make music of more varying speeds. Please? There's so much potential...

  • live performance is excellent!!!

  • Edenbridge is awesome... Sabine sing very good!!!

    the Nilvarg suck my dick!!

  • banda foda,musica foda,vocalista foda....!!!

  • plkaayback .-.

  • Listen to "Dawn of Destiny"

    awesome german band!

  • after nightwish with tarja they all seem like bad copies. no offense don't say this just for this group.

  • of course not, i love this band and still agree with you. tarja is the metal and opera queen

  • @insidertaken2

    Edenbridge for victory, Tarja went to mainstream, can't handle group play. two singers both talented, but Tarja loses

  • @staalheim Tarja loses? I dont't think so. I met Sabine and she has no own opinion in Edenbridge AND she is no group player either ...

    P.S. I like the music of Edenbridge

  • @Ottametaller why are ppl still talking about tarja? she's nothing without nightwish, just look at her pathetic solo project....

  • i live in aplace called edenbridge

  • I live near it lol

  • Sabine is the best

  • No, she's not

  • Amberian Dawn and Epica also have good female vocals

  • jajie696,U are wrong it is Symphonic Metal dud

  • omg!!!!! amazing!!!!!!!!!

  • Very cute singer.

  • @zoranzox Very,very I love she

  • ahuh, its power metal. nothing else more, end of discussion.

  • have just opened a Russian site about EDENBRIDGE:

    edenbridge . org . ru

  • Sensational - but I may be a bit biased... ;)

  • it sounds like symphonic power metal to me amazing voice

  • anyone else pick up her accent?

  • if you do not know many genres such as the death metal in the case of the banda arch enemy of the genders and this will be indicated as the lyrics, the voices of the singers and more additions so that you can not compare are not equal in the group also always a better female vocalist than a man.

  • look whos called satan will prevail

  • jjaaj hijo de perra con tu respuesta se nota que no tienes nada bueno que decir asi que dices estupideces

  • Female vocal bands are usually symphonic metal, so it's very different than thrash, heavy, death and black metal.

    So, shut the fuck up and respect the other genres.

  • um

    therion

  • Good metal Bands with Female singers: Arch Enemy, Otep, Iwrestledabearonce. And thats only a few of many.

  • Nightwish is another fantabulouse female band.

  • I second that!

  • yea nightwish may be my favorite band

  • lol You're fucking retarded, if Arch Enemy is the only example you can think of, you're truly a helpless fool, I mean Angela Gossow is a good vocalist, but if you compare her to a male death metal vocalist she sounds very high pitched and almost shitty. If your going to use an example of a women who can REALLY give men some compitition, check out the girl from Thorr's Hammer, Demonic Christ, and Estuary. Anyway, there is no musical rule that says girls can't sing in a metal band.

  • alucinante voz la de esta chica!!! en lo particular una de las mejores bandas del genero.

  • ave- Mega Therion

  • Nightwish got me into Neo-Classical Metal in the first place. I started to branch out to Beto Vasquez Infinity, Within Temptation, Kamelot, Visions of Atlantis, etc.

    But as a lead guitarist in my band, I have to say the guitar work on here is far and away MANY levels better than most of those bands...

    The guitar intro on this song gave me goosebumps!

  • Yeah, Lanvall is a great guitarist.. and if I as a singer say that - you can take that for granted ´cause it takes time till I recognize a real good guitarist :-)

  • my fav song ever! Sabina forever! love her!

  • I just got done watching and favoriting shine and these two videos are my first time ever hearing of this band. I'm not trying to offend any long time fans but I was wondering if this band was in the same genre as dragonforce.

  • They're related genres. Edenbridge is a progressive symphonic metal. (A type of epic metal.) Some might say Goth metal, because of the vocals. Dragonforce is a progressive speed metal/epic speed metal. So the connection is the 'epic' meaning they tend to use broad harmonic 4ths and 5ths, and complex interconnecting runs, coupled with multiple major/minor shifts. In practice the resulting sound is quite different, but you make the decision for yourself. :)

  • symphonic power metal, same genre as bands like Nightwish, Rhapsody (of fire) etc so yeah, kinda similar(but not exactly the same if one should be bitchy about it), but this band can atleast play ther tunes live (unlike dragonforce)

  • NICE NICE NICE...She's Great:PPPP

  • His Voice Is perfect .. is like a hear an estudio Album ;D :: i Luve .. Edenbridge (:

    PD:: Sorry 4 My English D;

  • Then you haven't heard a lot of metal vocalists. Her voice is mediocre.

  • it seems to be that you don´t read all the comments here, and if you can see, you are the only guy here that are writting these things... and you must to speak after you know somebody, what I heard you don´t know, and I don´t believe that you heard so much ... good music guy! sorry for my english... good luck!

  • I have no idea what you're trying to say there.

  • I don´t believe like some people can think and write so many idiocies.... NIghtwish is other metal and other style of voice, it can´t compares with Edenbridge, several persons that are here, they must to listen more metal and more music, and then give an opinion.Varios de los que opinan tonterias como las que lei aqui, parecen no haber escuchado metal en serio. jamas pueden comparar Edenbridge con Nightwish, estilos totalmente distintos, Arriba Edenbridge!!!Gran banda con excelente vocalista!

  • Speak English.

  • my english is very bad...I´dont speak and write so much... but you understand what I said, so your comment is out of place... Si, tomo tu coomentario como fuera de lugar... Hermosa voz Sabine! los amantes de la musica sabrán apreciar lo bueno y no criticar por criticar... saludos y respetos a ellos!!! viva Edenbridge!

  • @serdrummer10 te doy toda la razon maestro.no pueden comparar dos estilos de canto distinto entonces siempre caen en la misma critica si escucharan un poco mas veran que Sabine canta muuy bien tiene una hermosa voz y este grupo es muy talentoso y a algunos no le gustaran porque no es tan accesible ya qedenbridge tiene canciones de metal progresivo.

  • l love this music !

  • Tarja have best voice that her

  • i agree but different style.......

  • of course she has. Tarja = best feminine voice in history

  • Vibeke Stene has also a very beautiful voice!

  • Great band! they play good Power Metal!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • The battery is good, the guitatr is fine, but the voice of the singer it isn't good :s

  • Agreed. Her voice is flat and weak. The instrumentals are great, though.

  • You know what it is nightwish was one of the first band that made metal collide with a classical female trained voice. And people compare every band that came after them. And not thinking that it is great that if you love nightwish that you can listen to so many other bands. And personal I think within temptation is better than nightwish if I may compare lol.

  • Therion was the first, actually.

  • she looks a bit like tarja!:Dher clothes:D

  • She's not that bad, She has a great voice actually and musically they're fantastic. Everyone in the World can't have Tarja's range Ya know.

  • damn whats with all the comparisons go fuck of back to your tarja video's then fuckheads

  • Fantastic !

    Cool Sound & Pace !

  • Someone recommended this band to me since I'm a huge fan of Epica & Within Temptation. I don't know how they could have thought it was anywhere near the above mentioned bands. the lead singer is TERRIBLE. She's constantly off key and has HORRIBLE vocal technique. I'm sticking with Epica

  • Probably the worst female fronted band ever. They're maybe not bad, but I hate this type of music. Epica, Nightwish and Tristania for example are much better.

  • parece una sevillana con esa camisa jajaj que guapo xD

  • Grab a mirror :)

  • One of the best Bands i've ever heard. Sabine have got a wonderful Voice!!!

  • Oh my god, Edenbridge welcome to my Itunes playlist. I was just looking through some groups and I wasn't expecting this.

  • i love them, but try delain, skylark, magica (L), fairyland and dark moor

  • Delain is just a carbon copy of Nightwish, which is crap

  • siernia is fuckin awesome, epica is a good band but that death-growler in the background can get a little annoying sometimes

  • nice forceful vocals!! shes great!!!!

  • Great liveband <3

  • I freakin' love metal with female vocalists. It balances out what I perceive to be a very masculine genre.

  • you should also check out Epica, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Within Temptation... or if you like heavy metal, Astarte or Arch Enemy.

  • "you should also check out Epica, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Within Temptation"

    I second Epica and Nightwish. Within Temptation and Lacuna Coil bore me to tears. Female vocalist good metal bands: After Forever, Leaves Eyes, Lunatica, Magica, Nightwish, Angtoria, Epica, Legenda Aurea, also try Therion, they use operatic female vocals sometimes.

  • you guys heard of Eyes of Eden, Leaves' Eyes, and Sirenia? Love that melodic metal sounds with wicked female vocals!

    Thanks for posting!

  • How dare you to forget the best female lead? EPICA all the way LOOL :p

  • There is something strange about her voice! Its not the most beautiful I have heard but something in it is difinetly interresting me!

  • this is beautifull la vos y la fuerza perfecta un equilibrio ideal

  • this is certainly one of the best Edenbridge songs. As for the comparison between them and nightwish, I find Nightwish to be more consistant in their songwriting, though I would have to say Lanval may be a slightly better guitarist.

  • no one is a better guitarist than Emppu from Nightwish~

    Did you know he learnt himslef to play guitar when he was twelve and he never had lessons, even up untill now?

  • I love Edenbridge! Their music is so easy and nice to listen to.

  • Edenbridge rules. Sabine is just an amazing singer, and she sounds stunning live. And no to mention that they have an awesome stage presence.

    And please, don't compare Tarja to Sabine. Are they from the same band? No. They are both amazing singers in their own ways.
