Dead to the World is one of my top 5 favorite Nightwish songs! Glad to see you like it so much, because I feel it gets forgotten too often.
A few of my favorite symphonic metal Duet songs (excluding Nightwish):
Visions of Atlantis - "The Secret"
Visions of Atlantis - "Wing-Shaped Heart"
Luca Turilli - "Mystic and Divine"
Luca Turilli - "The Miracle of Life"
Lunatica - "Emocean" Featuring Olver Hartmann (if you youtube it, the first result should be the version with him)
A couple random notes. Luca Turilli is my second favorite band of all time (behind Nightwish). And that Lunatica song is my third favorite song of all time (behind "Ghost Love Score" and Sonata Arctica's "White Pearl, Black Oceans..."
Also there is a symphonic metal band called Coronatus, and all their songs are duets too because they have 2 lead singers, both of which are women (one is a soprano singer, and the other is more of a standard rock singer), so it's kind of interesting. I think they're really good. For them, I'd recommend trying "Der Letzte Tanz" and "Cast My Spell".
I'll definitely look into them.
After a few more listens, I'm really appreciating "Turn Loose the Mermaids", "Rest Calm", and "The Crow, the Owl, and the Dove" now. The other songs are good too, but they haven't quite caught me yet. I really want to like "Song of Me", but my attention always drifts away during the poem recital. It's a nice poem, but my thoughts still wander during it.
