Stratovarius

che tristi gli stratovarius però

 

Come mai?

 

o___o

 

Wut?

 

non so ma da dopo vision,,sono scesi parecchio di livello e credibilità

 

beh dai così è già un giudizio meno shockante

comunque da visions a oggi ci sono 7 album.. possibile che non te ne piaccia mezzo? no a parte gli scherzi io ho adorato gran parte della loro carriera kotipelto/tolkki e mi piace moltissimo anche l'attuale! gli unici dischi che non mi piacciono proprio sono i tre con tolkki anche alla voce

a parte polaris ed elysium che sono molto carini anche infinite lo trovo molto bello no?

 

We are very proud to announce the release of “Nemesis” the new studio album by Stratovarius, to hit the stores on February 22nd, 2013.


A taste of the new studio album can be enjoyed with the Limited Edition EP “Unbreakable”, released on January 25th, 2013.

un po' più di info:


earMUSIC has set a February 22, 2013 release date for "Nemesis", the new studio album by Finnish/Swedish melodic metallers STRATOVARIUS. The CD will be made available as a standard 11-track edition as well as 13 track special edition. A taste of the new studio album can be enjoyed with the limited-edition EP "Unbreakable", released on January 25, 2013.

STRATOVARIUS are hailed as one of the most influential and successful symphonic metal bands in the world and they have managed to establish themselves as one of the metal scene's heavy names. The new album, "Nemesis", unites all the best traits of the band's melodic, powerful, fresh and technically elaborated metal, all spiced up with an incredible sense for melody.

The album was produced and mixed by Matias Kupiainen and mastered by Mika Jussila from Finnvox studios, who has a long history with the band.

"Unbreakable" features five songs: the title track and a selection of four songs from previous albums, remastered by Mika Jussila. Songs like "Falling Star" (taken from "Polaris") and "Freedom" (taken from "Infinite") show a different, catchy side of STRATOVARIUS and guide the way to the new masterpiece, "Nemesis".

Commented guitarist Matias Kupiainen: "'Unbreakable' is a very important song to me and the lyrics have a lot of personal meaning. Sometimes you can snap out of your day to day fog and see what is important. And when you are in that special moment, when you have that special feeling, you are invincible, unbreakable; you should really stop and enjoy the feeling. Even, if the whole world falls apart tomorrow."

Added singer Timo Kotipelto: "This album has a darker and more modern sound. We, as a band, have gone through a lot and we have matured as songwriters. The making of this album was easier than before, because we could give it as much time as needed."

"Unbreakable" track listing:

01. Unbreakable (taken from the brand new studio album "Nemesis")
02. Falling Star (taken from "Polaris")
03. The Game Never Ends (taken from "Elysium")
04. Freedom (taken from "Infinite")
05. Why Are We Here (taken from "Intermission")

Songs 2-5 remastered by Mika Jussila in 2012

The band will perform the new songs live for the very first time headlining the Radio Rock Cruise in Finland from February 9 to February 10, followed by their first club show in Helsinki on March 3, 2013. On March 20, 2013 STRATOVARIUS will kick off for their Nordic Nexus Of Nemesis Tour 2013 with fellow Scandinavians AMARANTHE, before they return to Finland mid-April to play five more shows.

STRATOVARIUS in June announced the addition of drummer Rolf Pilve to the group's ranks.

 

Insomma, un EP un po' più inutile no eh?
Ho tantissima fiducia nel nuovo album comunque, la nuova direzione mi piace molto.
Mi dispiace solo non poter essere presente al concerto all'Alcatraz (troppe spese)... l'unica volta che li ho visti erano in apertura agli Helloween, e Kotipelto stava come sappiamo tutti

 

ricordo bene.. però fu divertente!

per me che amo le parti strumentali poi lì è stato il paradiso

poi in ogni caso Kotipelto ormai da tanti anni non ha una gran voce dal vivo, io li ho visti altre due volte oltre a quella in apertura per gli Helloween e anche se è sempre coinvolgente se lo sogna di rendere le canzoni come sui dischi XD

però anche per l'alto livello dei musicisti è sempre bello vederli

 

la posto qui dato che c'entra e che il buon Tolkki non ha un suo topic dedicato

Rock Overdose - News - TIMO TOLKKI (ex-Stratovarius) on Rock Overdose: " I wish we could, one day, do one more album (with Stratovarius) and tour"

RockOverdose.gr: New drummer along with a new album in February 2013 for STRATOVARIUS. What are your thoughts about this?

Timo Tolkki: I know him. He actually played the initial demos of SYMFONIA, so I know him well. I don't think about STRATO that much anymore. I left the band five years ago. I wish them well. Hard-working guys. I love them and I do miss them. I wish we could one day do one more album and tour with the "Visions" lineup. In five years or something. That would be really cool.

 

Sono i soldi o il suo alter ego (poveretto) a parlare?
