Lovely, lovely stuff. I absolutely loved Polaris, and that was apparently hashed together from them sending each other demos! So God only knows what they're capable of with proper time to work on it. Kupiainen breathes new life into a band which Tolkki had long since ran out of ideas for.

Thoughts exactly. Polaris was my fave album for a good while of playing it constantly. Sensational, any more of the same or improved upon would be a new level of happiness

That artwork is INCREDIBLE! Gyula Havancsák is a ridiculously good artist! Is he the same guy who did Polaris's artwork? Strato's last two albums so far have had some of the most beautiful cover art I've ever seen.Been waiting for info on this album for months... Polaris was an amazing album, loved every song on it. Here's hoping Elysium (what a kickass title!) takes it to another level! I can't wait to hear what Matias brings again, and hopefully TK's singing sounds as smooth and crisp as it did on Cain's Offering.
In short: HELL YEA!
EDIT: And just a couple weeks before my birthday... you have some competition early next year, Steve! Better give those Finnish boys a run for their money!

i agree 100% with this post
Don't forget the sublimely juxtaposed EP cover:

From what I'm hearing, Darkest Hours has that new post-Tolkki Stratovarius sound, with a touch of Cain's Offering... anybody else hear that, or am I insane? The Infermal Maze sample sounds great so far too, it sounds like they're doing some different stuff on Elysium and I can't wait to see what they do!
January can't come fast enough!

The preview sounds very promising! Polaris will take a lot of beating but I have no doubt these guys are gonna deliver us another sublime album. Artwork is amazing... I take it it's the same guy who did the Polaris artwork?
Yeah Gyula Havancsák has done both of the albums covers for Elysium and Polaris. Great talent. Love Felipe Machado too.

No no NO.
The last thing we need is more musicians passing away. There have been far too many casualties this year alone... does this mean Jorg will be fine in the end, since they removed his entire thyroid?
Anyway, the most important thing is that they think they got all the bad stuff out and that the end result is that we just fix that sentence I wrote above.
I really hope so. Jorg is an incredible drummer... I absolutely wish all the best for him, cancer is a horrible disease that nobody should ever suffer through. You can do it, Jorg!
