Music conveys moods and images. Even in opera, where plots deal with the structure of destiny, it's music, not words, that provides power.
-- Marcel Marceau

It just amazing to me that influences can come from anywhere without even realizing it. I'm not much of a fan for opera, but its hard to deny its influence on modern music. One of my favourite metal bands is Nightwish with their music being a combination of tradtional melody and modern instruments.

Over The Hills And Far Away by Nightwish


Although the original singer isnt with the band anymore, Nightwish has been able to retain that mix of harmony and harshness.
