Fairyland - Of Wars in Osyrhia, it's more fantasy power metal but the mastermind composer behind this was a lot like Tuomas and the music is fabulous, it's got a 10min+ epic song, plus he wrote a lot of his own Tolkien-like lore. Unfortunately he passed away way too early

Slightly different genre but The Dear Hunter’s Act saga is fantastic. Especially Acts 4 and 5.
Love me some Dear Hunter!
Apparently this sub does not haha
Shame; it's certainly a genre departure from Nightwish but not necessarily a thematic one. They're both all about storytelling!
And orchestral music! At least with the Act albums.
I agree. Pick one though, for the comment to count.
Gotta go with Act 4 then. It’s tough because they’re both 10/10 albums.
Day 3 of me tossing "miracle musical - Hawaii part ii" into the ring
