The vocal recording sessions for the new NIGHTWISH album, “Imaginarium”, finally began on April 4 after being postponed for a few weeks in order to allow the band’s singer, Anette Olzon, a longer recovery period after she suffered broken ribs in a fall.

Check out photos from the studio at Olzon‘s official blog.

NIGHTWISH is not only putting finishing touches to its new album, “Imaginarium”, but also planning a movie of the same name. If all goes well, the CD will be released in early 2012, to be followed by the movie at some point further down the line. The first single off the album as well as the trailer for the film should arrive well before the end of 2011.
