On October 1, 2012, it was announced that Anette had left the group, with the reason given being that "it has become increasingly obvious that the direction and the needs of the band were in conflict, and this has led to a division from which we cannot recover." Floor Jansen ( After Forever, ReVamp) took Anette's place in the Imaginaerum World Tour and, although the band claimed that the vocalist issue would be settled sometime in 2014, was announced as Olzon's permanent replacement on October 9th, 2013. The album Imaginaerum, formerly Imaginarium (they changed the name to avoid confusing it with various other things with that name,) is a concept album, paired with a full-length feature film based on the plotline, was released in November 2012 in Finland with a more widespread DVD release in 24 April 2013. Their first album with Anette as the main vocalist, Dark Passion Play, was released in 2007.
They later hired vocalist Anette Olzon, which has caused a division in the fanbase. They even expressed this opinion in an open letter on their web site, though this is only one side of the coin. Shortly after the performance, vocalist Tarja Turunen was fired for allegedly viewing the band as a way to gain publicity and make money. After their fifth (and breakthrough) album Once, they held a live show called End of an Era. After the success, they released the darker Century Child. While initially disappointed, they soon became noticed with their song Sacrament of Wilderness and achieved worldwide fame with their next two albums, Oceanborn and Wishmaster.
They soon released their debut album Angels Fall First, which had mixed reviews. They originally started as an acoustic-only band with keyboards, but noticed that vocalist Tarja Turunen's operatic voice was too powerful for an acoustic band, so Holopainen decided to add heavy metal elements such as electric guitars and drums. It was formed by Tuomas Holopainen while he was sitting besides a campfire. Nightwish is a Symphonic Power Metal band from Finland formed in 1996.
