Imaginarium tour will kick off in LA

Reading Anette's blog yesterday the exciting news of a tour kick off in LA caught my eye; I can honestly say that I am very tempted to go. However being a student it is hard to find the money for it because I have to save pennies to pay back my student loan etc, also finding someone to come with me to LA. Although it should be an interesting experience since I have never seen a band in another country before, it is something I would like to do one day.

I think I'll save money and wait for some UK tour dates, since I would like to see Nightwish in my home country first before spending hundreds of pounds to travel abroad.

Imaginarium Update and Spring is in the air

Hi guys 

How we all doing this lovely Friday?? I thought you would like to see the latest news about the new Nightwish album, click here.

It's such a lovely sunny day outside today, I definately think Spring is in the air. Spring is my favourite season; not too hot, not too cold, it's my birthday this month and I love all the new life that is created in the Spring. I also love the fact you can shed some of those winter layers that keep us warm and EASTER!!!!!

More Imaginarium news from Nightwish

OK guys with the realease of Imaginarium by Nightwish looming, there are more details from Nightwish's musical maestro Tuomas Holopainen, the film's director Strobe Harju (who also directed the band's video The Islander) and the film's producer Markus Selin. It's very exciting that Strobe Harju is directing this film; he did an absolutely wonderful job with The Islander, one of my favourite songs by the band, the visual aspects are just phenomenal and the song is beautiful. Click the video below to watch what I think is one of the spectacular music videos.

If the film is going to look as beautiful as this video then I am not worried in the slightest.

Nightwish revealing the concept for their new album

Hello lovely readers

How you keeping? This piece of news I found out cannot go unnoticed being it's about a band I love and respect tremendously, everyone has been buzzing about the new concept that Finnish metal gods Nightwish have revealed. In the midst of making this album they have also been making a film called Imaginarium that will be based around the new album; the story is about a songwriter with an extraordinary imagination, he is an elderly man with the mind of a young boy. When he falls asleep this man travels to his dreams that come mixed with the young boy's world of fantasy and music, he also fights those memories most important to him.

I think this is a unique way to promote an album, I have not seen it done before by any other musician and I cannot wait to see it for myself. That's one of the things I love about Nightwish, they are not afraid to try new things and I think that's what makes them stand out.

Take care now
