New Stratovarius.

[Chryst Krispies]

Heard a sample on Youtube, and it sounds fucking KILLLLLLLLERRRRRR!!

I am so excited, that the new shit doesn't suck. The guitar player SHREDZZ too.

 

[Ben Johnson]

Sounds like they use 7 strings too, from what I've heard.

The drums are immense.

And yeah, Matias Kupiainen is a MONSTER.

Saw these guys the other night with Firewind, much power metal madness was had. The guitarist was lethal.
Got distracted by the lighting girls melons bouncing in time to the music though, so probably missed a few licks.
Great night, even though I'm not that into them.

The new album is awesome!
Matias Kupiainen =

 

[Chryst Krispies]

I listened to "Higher We Go." Like 1324 times today.

 

[_Protoss_]

Deep Unknown song is the shit!!!!

I'm glad that they've decided to keep the clasic Stratovarius guitar tone

 

[ahjteam]

Anyone else notice the similarity in the chorus of "Blind" (01:45) and A-Ha's superhit "Take on Me"? Also the Finnish listeners might recognice parts from the song called "Romanssi" (which is more commonly known as "Sua vain yli kaiken mä rakastan") from the song "When mountains fall"

 

[Jevil]

Never been a great fan of them even though I like powerish bands and seen them more than 6 or 7 times live.
But this band is too classic, too predictable.
What I've heard from the new album is better than their late Tolkki albums but not excelent.
Their better album will always be Visions.
