A new orchestral intro for the track was recorded during the orchestral recording of Dark Passion Play. It is still often performed live despite the band's change of vocalists and is the third most played song with 472 live performances as of December 2018. Since its release, it has been a recurring track during live performances and was featured on the live DVD End of an Era, recorded in 2005. The song "Wishmaster" has remained one of Nightwish's greatest hits, appearing on several best of compilations. "FantasMic" is a song about the Disney animated movies, particularly their fantasy and fable elements, taking its title from the Disneyland show Fantasmic!.
"Wishmaster" was inspired by the fantasy novel series The Lord of the Rings and Dragonlance, mentioning Elbereth, Lórien, and the Grey Havens from the former and Dalamar, Raistlin Majere (Dalamar's shalafi, or "master"), Gilthanas, the Sla-Mori, Silvara and the Inn of the Last Home from the latter. "The Kinslayer" is written about the victims of the Columbine High School massacre. While commonly considered to be closer to conventional power metal, there is still a great variety with slower songs like "Two for Tragedy" and "Dead Boy's Poem", and more epic pieces like "FantasMic". Perhaps even more so than its predecessor, Wishmaster has a very clear fantasy theme. Wishmaster's sound continues the bombastic symphonic power metal approach originally featured on Oceanborn, albeit with more emphasis on atmosphere and melody versus speed and heaviness. Wishmaster was issued on, a few days earlier than its scheduled release, because the music had leaked onto the Internet. The main composer Tuomas Holopainen considers the album "the most distant and least personal (.) in the Nightwish catalogue", despite containing the "mother of all Nightwish songs - Dead Boys' Poem." The image of the dead boy would reappear in several songs of the following albums. The writing and recording of Wishmaster was very fast and devoid of complications, in contrast with what had happened for Oceanborn. Most reissues of the album contain the song " Sleepwalker", which was released in July 2000 to compete in the Finnish Eurovision Song Contest tryouts. In 2019, Metal Hammer ranked it as the 18th best power metal album of all time. Wishmaster has sold more than 79,000 copies in Finland alone. 1 in the official Finnish charts the album also debuted in the European charts at No. In the US, it was released by Century Media on 6 February 2001. The album was released in the rest of Europe by Drakkar Entertainment on 29 May, and in Japan by Toy's Factory on 19 July. It was released on through Spinefarm Records in Finland. Wishmaster is the third studio album by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish.
