I've received some positive comments about the Tarja video I posted last year and inquires as to who she is. .Her name is Tarja Turunen. She's a Finnish classically trained lyric soprano. She is the former vocalist for Finnish symphonic metal group Nightwish. She's been on her own for 7 years and has 2 studio rock albums and 1 classical record. In August she released a smokin hot live album! 

Tarja - In for a Kill

This genre is popular almost everywhere but the US! Symphonic/Goth rock with female vocalists is the bulk of what I listen to now.  There are many groups that do this mix of classical/rock/metal.  Ask me and I'll give you a list of my favourites

This is a cut from the live  cd.
