Our Nightwish series continues as we step into the Imaginaerum era — one of the most creative and turbulent chapters in the band’s history.
In this episode, we focus on the story of Nightwish during this period, exploring the creative vision behind Imaginaerum and the challenges the band faced as they brought this cinematic project to life. We unpack the tensions and changes that led to the departures of Anette Olzon and long-time drummer Jukka Nevalainen, and how these moments reshaped the band’s path moving forward especially with the arrival of the phenomenal Floor Jansen. And, of course, we highlight and dissect my hidden gems from Imaginaerum — those tracks that don’t always get the spotlight they deserve.
Keep an eye out for future episodes in this series, where we’ll continue the journey through Nightwish’s discography and uncover hidden gems on iconic albums like Endless Forms Most Beautiful.
