Last night we celebrated Finnish music at the annual Emma Gaala awards. Nightwish won The “Metal of The Year” award. That is their 16th Emma award which is the highest amount of these awards any artist has won in the Emma Gaala history. Congratulations to all the other winners and nominees as well!
About The Emma Gaala Awards: The Emma-gaala is a Finnish music gala arranged yearly by Musiikkituottajat – IFPI Finland, awarding the Emma Muuvi or Emma Awards to the most distinguished artists and music professionals of the year. It has been arranged annually since 1983, except between 1988 and 1990. (c/o Wiki)
PiercingMetal Thoughts: Congratulations to Nightwish on this achievement and for all the awards that preceded this one and placed them as a record breaker. I am sure that more are to come and I cannot wait to witness this exciting band in concert once again. They have remained one of my favorites for many, many years. Chime in down below if you’d like to add something. I welcome all the topical comments.
