Um...has Tuomas EVER exhibited tact?

Um...has Tuomas EVER exhibited tact? 

Fair point! Still, I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt.

[gazinwales]

I just got the 2CD/DVD version of Imaginaerum, mainly for the full orchestral version of the album.
Sounds pretty amazing minus all the rock instruments.

New promo pic with Kai

 

They must have redone that and given Emppuu a stool

[bosk1]

  Forced perspective, just like they did with a lot of the hobbit scenes in the Lord of the Rings movies.

My god, those legs!

Sry.....

[MoraWintersoul]

My god, those legs!

Sry.....

the styling is absolutely cliche metal but Floor really brings the look together Marco's unnecessary zippers are quite a lulz moment. And yeah, group pictures with Emppu always look a little silly.

Seeing Kai Hahto in Nightwish is still unreal!

Troy looks like he is stoned

Episode 8

[cramx3]

We are proud to announce the release of our first single called 'Élan', which will be out on February 13, 2015 via Nuclear Blast!
“Oh, while I live to be the ruler of life, Not a slave
To meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.”
- Walt Whitman
Commented NIGHTWISH keyboardist and songwriter Tuomas Holopainen: “This beautiful quote from my hero Uncle Walt was the starting point for writing 'Élan'. The underlying theme of the song is nothing less than the meaning of life, which can be something different for all of us. It´s important to surrender yourself to the occasional 'free fall' and not to fear the path less travelled by. 'Élan' is a wonderful teaser for the full-length album, giving out a little taste, but revealing very little of the actual Journey of Grandeur to come…”

Great reminder that Tuomas is completely full of himself, in case any of us had forgotten.    Oh well.  Here's hoping he can successfully stay out of his own way and write a good album.

Watching the dairy they've been posting to YT, everyone seems to be all over this - the band, the orchestrators, the press... I haev high hopes.

What kind was it? Cheddar?

[Cyclopssss]

[MoraWintersoul]

I don't like it.

[Randaran]

The cover itself is... ok, I guess, though I do like the album name.

[aprilethereal]

Is this official?

[cramx3]

Yes its official.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Looks pretty cool, interesting title though.

[gazinwales]

Is this official?

Yup I reckon so

The cover is great, I wish it was colourful though. The album's name is awesome too.

The cover is great, I wish it was colourful though. The album's name is awesome too.

Their album covers have been basically black and white (with blue/grey tint) since Once.  And even before that, their covers were very monochrome.  Assuming that has been intentional (and given how long it has been going on, I doubt it could be otherwise), I wouldn't expect a change.

[Cool Chris]

Reminds me of Sinistar.

I hunger...

Yeah, good point. Thinking about it, I didn't even expect a change, but I can wish for something a bit less bleak. I hoped maybe since the album has to do with nature and evolution there would be some brown or greenish colours, but, well, this isn't the case, it seems.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

I like the album cover. It looks cool.

[adace]

Not too crazy about the title or cover but I'm very excited nonetheless.

[fadetoblackdude7]

I like the title and the cover. There's so much to look at, although it is a tad bit busy. And this is the first cover without any color at all, which is cool. Lately the covers have been dominated by blue.

[425]

The more I look at the artwork the more I like it. Whether the title is good or cheesy will depend for me on how the music sounds. Mostly I'm just ready to hear new Nightwish.

[ariich]

Awesome cover, cool name. Hope the music's good!

[CrimsonSunrise]

Being a new Nightwish fan it's fun exploring their body of work.  Last night I watched Imaginaerum and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.  I mean really, for a rock band to put out something so creative like that is truly amazing.
