Oceanborn
Welcome to Metal Wiki, the ultimate metal database
Oceanborn is the second studioalbum by finnish band Nightwish. It was recorded in Caverock Studios from August to October in 1998, and released in November of that year. This album included single Sacrament of Wilderness, that reached number 1 on finnish singles charts, and stayed there for several weeks. Several other singles was released from this album, including Sleeping Sun, Walking in the air and Swanheart - all released on a singles-compilation named Sleeping Sun (Four ballads of the Eclipse). The single Walking in the air is a cover of Howard Blake's song with the same name, from "The Snowman's" soundtrack.
The album itself reached number 5 on finnish albumcharts.
This album is somewhat of a milestone in Nightwish's career, as it is the first time that they ever recorded a song with a guest vocalist - Tapio Wilska, previous member of Finntroll - on the songs Devil & the deep dark ocean and The pharao sails to Orion.
