Sacrament of Wilderness is the second single by Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, released as the first single from their album Oceanborn.

The single's cover art features the Oceanborn owl with the same scroll as in the cover of Oceanborn and Wishmaster.[2]

It reached the number-one spot in the Finnish charts during several weeks, as well as the subsequent, Walking in the Air. Both were certified with Gold Disc in Finland with more than 5,000 sold copies.[3]

The cover of the single features the same owl as in Passion and the Opera.

Live performances

The song disappeared from Nightwish' live setlist after their World Tour of the Century, in 2003, but returned again in late 2007, sung by their new vocalist Anette Olzon but otherwise the same musically. It is one of the few songs from their first two albums that has survived live and still is performed.

Current Nightwish bassist, Marco Hietala, doesn't like this song as much as he likes some others; when asked why, he said:

{{cquote|I don't really have anything against it. I can say that there's certain mathematic predictability in the vocal melodies, and I find other songs more exciting because they don't have it. It's still a good addition to the liveset.[2]|}}
