Finnish/Swedish symphonic metallers NIGHTWISH will release “The Crow, The Owl And The Dove”, the second single from their latest album, “Imaginaerum”, in Finland on February 29 and in the rest of Europe on March 2. The single will feature the title cut in three versions — radio edit, album version and instrumental — and the previously unreleased song “The Heart Asks Pleasure First” (theme from the movie “The Piano”) in two different versions.

To pre-order the single, go to the official NIGHTWISH webstore.

“Imaginaerum” sold 12,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 27 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band’s previous CD, 2007’s “Dark Passion Play”, opened with 11,000 units to land at No. 84.

Finland’s NIGHTWISH have re-opened their Nightmail Q&A column. The band has issued the following update:

“Nightmail gives you the chance to personally ask the band members any questions. Simply fill out the form found here, and if you’re lucky, your question will be selected and answered in public on these pages. Due to the amount of questions we receive, the band members will be selecting your questions in a completely random system. When they feel they have picked enough questions at a time, they will be answered and published. The questions that did not get selected will then be deleted. Be sure to check the tips in the box below the Archive before you send your Nightmail!”

While in Helsinki, BraveWords.com learned that Nightwish‘s feature length Imaginaerum film is currently working on post-production special effects, with an anticipated completion in early April. Plans include a possible screening at Cannes. Can you envision our favorite Finns mingling on the French Riviera? Come August 8th, the band will debut the film to fans with a special showing at the Hartwell Arena. The 11,000 capacity arena has hosted previous Nightwish live gigs, but this would be the largest movie premier in Finnish history. Stay tuned for more information, as it becomes available.

The new, second single from Imaginaerum will be the rocking track, ‘The Crow, The Owl And The Dove’, which will be released on March 2nd. Along with the title song, you will also get a previously unreleased song, ‘The Heart Asks Pleasure First’ (theme from movie The Piano). You will find the song in two different versions, including an instrumental. ‘The Crow, The Owl And The Dove’ is featured in three versions: radio-edit, album version and instrumental.

Nightwish have added BATTLE BEAST and EKLIPSE as openers on their upcoming Imaginaerum Europe Tour, which is set to kick off in April. Nightwish’s complete live itinerary can be found at this location.
