NIGHTWISH Issue Warning - 'Do Not Listen To These' Imaginaerum Audio Samples; 'Storytime' Single Tops Finnish Charts

NIGHTWISH have issued the following warning:

"Here are the official tasters from Imaginaerum! Even Amazon was so enthusiastic about the album, that they had to share these samples without asking us...

If you want to experience the true impact of the album, we recommend that you do something else and not listen to these.

With lots of respect! Nightwish."
