Re: Accept + Stratovarius Live in México?
And Nocturnal Rites is gonna be on Prog Power USA too! I would KILL to see them live. Saw them at Chicago Powerfest in 2006. Absolutely killer show in a venue that held no more than 300 people and on a stage that was like 2-feet tall. Can't believe we're getting a chance to see them again. Too bad ...

Re: Accept + Stratovarius Live in México?
Well, Accept is playing the ProgPower USA Kickoff on Sept. 9th, then they have a few more North American dates from Sept. 23 - Oct. 13th, so they could quite possible head south for some dates in between. In NYC and Foxboro, MA support is Kings X, no mention of Strato yet. I've seen Helloween. Looki...

Re: Stratovarius on "Seven Sinners" tour w/ Hellow
We are really happy to announce today that we have been invited to join Helloween's Seven Sinners tour package at the end of this year. Naturally we accepted, since the idea is that our new album will be finished before the first date on the tour. Well now that's two pieces of really good news. Awe...

Well, now that's an unexpected, but pleasant surprise. I knew about the vocalists but hadn't heard any news about other musicians. I've been very much looking forward to this new Advantasia, especially with the additions of Russell Allen and Klaus Meine. Now there's even more to anticipate. On a sid...

Re: a question for Japanese fans and collectors
There is also a U.S. promo, put out by Armoury Records, that has 10 tracks - missing "Deep Unknown". All the songs are full versions without any voice over but they have a "digital signature" to prevent them being put up for download. It came in just a sleeve with a clear, plastic front.

It appears the crowd energy and enthu...

Wow, what a cool gig, and quite the honor. WTG, Timo and company. Medvedev made a good choice for the encore; Timo does a kick-ass version of "I Surrender." Would love to see that live some day.
Kudos to all the guys. Gotta be kind of nice to be appreciated at such "lofty" levels.

Well, my webmaster was true to his word and our review of Polaris has been published today.
So, check it out on BeyondEarCandy.com, and as soon as we get the real deal, we'll have the album on the radio as well. Hopefully, some recorded interviews too. Cheers!
