Heaviest Nightwish Songs

The Top Ten
1 Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean
2 The Kinslayer
3 Planet Hell
4 Scaretale
5 The Pharaoh Sails to Orion
6 The Poet and the Pendulum
7 Romanticide

This is the first heavy (true metal ?) song I've actually liked. Dead garden's ending took me a bit more time.

8 Crownless
9 End of All Hope
10 Slaying the Dreamer

This guitar sound and intensity is the heaviest from early(ish) Nightwish I feel. Even the partially softer bits are quite heavy and tense.

The Contenders
11 She is My Sin
12 Wish I Had an Angel
13 Master Passion Greed

Direct, honest, brilliant.
Just listen to it and compare to most of this list, which are songs from the 2000s that are "70's heavy".

14 Yours Is an Empty Hope

Heavy and brilliant. I used to like only the softest Nightwish songs but out of this album, I liked only 1 song : this one. And liked it a lot. It feels like it's the only fully honest, "hearts out" post-Dark passion play metal song (even though I do occasionally listen to the Annette albums).

15 Dead Gardens

Most of the song is a nice contrast between simultaneous metal and pop/lullaby but the ending is incredibly heavy (in the modern way) for Nightwish.
