Nattvindens Gråt na albume "A Bard's Tale" ponúkajú kombináciu Dark/Dothic Metal -u s prvkami Doom alebo Atmosférickými pasážami. Na albume sa predstavil v roli klávesáka (ako inak) Tuomas Holopainen, neskôr zmámi ako mozog Nightwish (inak aj Darkwoods My Betrothed, Auri). Druhou známou tvárou bol Sami Vänskä (basa), neskôr tiež členom Nightwist (na dvoch albumoch). Zvyšný dvaja členovia zostavy sú Tero Leinonen (bicie) a Teemu Kautonen (gitary, inak aj Darkwoods My Betrothed, Welkins Boreal). Paradoxom je, že spev mali na starosti hosťujúci muzikanti, pritom práve spev je najslabšou stránkou albumu (mimo taktiež slabšieho zvuku). O hlavné vokálne linky sa postaral Tapio Wilska, no jeho mužsky spev je málo presvedčivý. So ženským spevom vypomohla Suvi, ktorá taktiež zneje neisto a mňa osobne nezaujala. Tretí hlas patrí Pasi Kankkunen -ovi. No ako píšem vyššie, spev je dosť slabou stránkou albumu a s lepším spevom by bolo moje hodnotenie určite vyššie, pretože hudba je miestami priemerná, ale v niektorých pasážach aj dosť dobrá.
