Northern Light Orchestra

(Not to be confused with the "Northern Lights Orchestra," apparently a pick-up orchestra organized for the single album, What If Mozart Wrote "White Christmas.")

Northern Light Orchestra is a Christmas-themed supergroup, founded in 2009, and composed of more than 20 artists who are already successful in heavy metal, hard rock bands. The group's music has been compared to Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Members

The following is the list of all artists who contributed to the band.

gollark: What *sort* of challenge?
gollark: Have each person provide a few sentences or paragraphs.
gollark: Why not cut out the middleman and directly crowdsource the book?
gollark: I read 1 and 2, and don't really like them either to be honest. The writing is kind of clunky, and it does a lot of "oh look, a problem appeared! The protagonist just solves it with [weird interaction of various items, used once then forgotten about]".
gollark: They should obviously specify distance in metres to 10 significant figures.
