NIGHTWISH REVEALS THE CONCEPT FOR NEXT ALBUM:
NIGHTWISH - IMAGINARIUM
In the midst of recording a new album, Nightwish has been preparing a movie. "Imaginarium" is a music fantasy - film based on the forthcoming Nightwish album of the same title and its 13 songs. The protagonist of the film is a songwriter with an otherworldly imagination. He is an old man who still thinks he`s a young boy. While asleep he travels into his distant past where his dreams of old come back to him mixed to the young boy`s world of fantasy and music.
In his dreams the old man fights to find the memories most important to him.
This never-done-before project originates to more than two years in the past when Tuomas first introduced his ambitious idea of the Imaginarium - concept to the fellow band members and to Mr. Stobe Harju, the director behind "The Islander" - music video. He will be the director of this full-length feature. The film will be produced by Solar Films Inc. together with Nightwish. The shootings for "Imaginarium" will begin this spring, it will have its premiere in 2012 and the album it`s based on will be released in an undefined point in time.
Nightwish will hold a press conference related to this project at the end of February.

If anyone remembers, Tuomas said that a remix of a bit of a song from Imaginarium would be played at the Kiteen Pallo baseball games. Well someone recorded a bit so you can hear it
I think it sounds awesome

Omg it had better be before I go to see Amanda Palmer, I will cry if I miss the announcement

The album title has been changed to 'Imaginaerum' to avoid confusion with other stuff called Imaginarium. >_>

Terrorizer reviewed every track and it sounds AMAZING
"The step up in strength from the last album is quite spectacular. All involved put in stellar performances, and Tarja is now decidedly not missed- Nightwish have come too far from that era, and are something different and astonishing. 'Imaginaerum' offers a vast depth of utterly splendid music."

wow, how lucky are they, getting to listen to Nightwish's new album almost three months before it's official release? The album sounds great from that review, I just wish they'd release the single sooner.

I have to admit that - I'm afraid... Can't wait to hear it but... What if it's a fail? I know it's hard to believe but every band has a fail in their career, since Nightwish havent had any yet.... Please ease my mind and tell me it's gonna be perfect. I've allready set 2 concerts I'm going to... After 24th maybe even more.... :-D

Aaah I know, I keep panicking that my expectations of it are too high, and I'm terrified that I wont like it! But then I read the reviews and everyone seems to be saying it's really good, so I'm hopeful!
I wish they would announce some concerts in my country already

Honestly, I stopped being interested in the band's present activities after I listened to DPP and found it dissapointing. I must say, though, that I'm looking forward to the new album. I wonder what Tuomas came up with this time.

DPP is always worth another listen it's probably my favourite album of all time, tied with Once.
