The Nightwish site has changed from its Dark Passion Play theme to reflect the new album, Imaginarium! A few interviews were posted from Tuomas, the producer, and the director, and good God I'm excited!
Like... I love the visual imagery of Nightwish as shown in their music videos. I love that world of slate grey blues, dark shadows, clouds, uncertain waters... I paint about it all the time. When I'm dancing in guard, I still see those colors (Could just be the synesthesia, ahoy!), see the rocky cliffs, see the drama. The fact that there's gonna be an entire movie dedicated to the visual aspects of Nightwish just blows my mind. I'm really hoping they can score a theatrical release, especially in the US. If they can, I'm going there on opening day for sure. I'll see it ten times over.
The nice thing is that I don't have to sit here and wonder "What's it gonna be like?" The director, Stobe Harju, was the man behind "The Islander" music video, and that single video encompasses almost everything I can see from Nightwish from a visual standpoint. So I already have a good feel for what's gonna happen, which is great :)
What's odd is the orchestration, though. On Dark Passion Play, every song was accompanied by a full blown orchestra (And the orchestrated second disk was amazing <3), but on this one, there are a handful of songs that get no orchestra! How weird! It's like, the orchestra is one of the biggest components that makes symphonic metal well, symphonic. Oh well, I have faith in my man Tuomas! He knows what's he's doing and that's why he'll always be my favorite composer! :) Not to mention I loved those jeans pants he wears in a lot of photoshoots... I kinda want to make some similar to them.
Anyways. Back to economics because Nightwish is distracting <3
