Finnish rock magazine Soundi have reported that Nightwish have headed to their rented summer house in the Finnish woods to begin rehearsals for new music. As this has always been an indication of a new album, previous cycles will suggest that a new album to follow up 2011’s ‘Imaginaerum’ will be tentatively released mid-2015.

Three full songs have been completed according to bass player Marco Hietala, and surely the band will take this time to flesh out songs for the new album. New additions Floor Jansen and Troy Donockley will join in the coming weeks to work with band in the development of the new music.
