My thoughts as well. Only I don't think TK will write music for an album, Jens gets the next album and I think they maybe go back to Lauri after thatKecos wrote:Maybe they're just rotating who gets to write more music? 4 people writing music, with as many ideas as these guys seem to have, will result in lots of awesome music

Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
Seems to be a slightly Kupiainen biased track list... I hope this album will be a Strato classic. 18 minutes is the longest track thats ever been made (By Stratovarius)! I'm hoping that song doesn't turn out to be too much like the 12 minute song off Elements Part 1, and that it breaks new ground in the Strato sound I think either way I will grow to love the album though!

Plus, he isn't THAT fat !Empathica1928 wrote:To assume that Matias is trying to step into Tolkki's shoes just because he's contributing more songs to this album than the other guys is an absurd accusation. Matias is an extraordinarily talented musician and just based on how he acts and my experience when I met him, he's an extremely laid back guy. Let him do whatever he wants.

Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
With Deep Unknown being in my top 3 Strato song (yeah, really) and 5 songs from Matias in the new album, I couldn't be more exited right now
Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
"Deep Unknown" #3?! I'm now wondering which other 2 have you chosen ...

I wasn't seriousSorry to be so rude, but that's bullshit!
Come on guys I wasn't seriousTo assume that Matias is trying to step into Tolkki's shoes just because he's contributing more songs to this album than the other guys is an absurd accusation.

Thats something I came up with tooMy thoughts as well. Only I don't think TK will write music for an album, Jens gets the next album and I think they maybe go back to Lauri after that
Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
Reading forums and comments in youtube, seems that people likes this teaser. It likes how the new songs sounds.

Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
It's a great time for a power metal fan; two other 'great old ones' Helloween and Blind Guardian just released truly top notch albums and based on Darkest Hours, Stratovarius will continue on the same level. Really an outstanding song.

Glad to see Timo only having one song. All the more material of his to use in his next kick-ass solo album.
Also, any news on a music video (preferably one that won't blind us this time )?

Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
Jørg, man! Get composing!
Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
The singles sound amazing, i can't wait for the EP
Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
True!!!It's a great time for a power metal fan; two other 'great old ones' Helloween and Blind Guardian just released truly top notch albums and based on Darkest Hours, Stratovarius will continue on the same level. Really an outstanding song.
To complete the big four, we could add Gamma Ray, whose last album (To the Metal) was really good.
And for the rest of the Power Metal world:
- Kamelot's PftP is amazing!!!!
- Rhapsody's TftoA is really great!!!
- Hammerfall's No sacrifice, no Victory rocks fucking hard!!!
- Mago de Oz's Gaia III is their best album to date!
- Freedom Call's The Legend of the Shadowking is one of their best albums!
- Cant wait for the new Dark Moor.
- Elvenking's Red Silent Tides pretty decent.
- Last Avantasia's are great!!!
And so on!!!
Through the storms we've wandered
Many mountains we have climbed
But all the bad times are behind
The road is free - I'm coming home

Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
no i think we better leave the game to strauss! or to mistery
Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
In this samples, (thanks VictorTDD), we can hear the chorus of infernal maze and I think this song is gonna be really spectacular http://es.7digital.com/artists/stratova ... est-hours/

Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
That sounds disgustingly good. Especially happy at how well Matias has been able to integrate Jens' keyboards into his song.RazielSR wrote:In this samples, (thanks VictorTDD), we can hear the chorus of infernal maze and I think this song is gonna be really spectacular http://es.7digital.com/artists/stratova ... est-hours/

Re: "Darkest Hours" single teaser!
Yea, Jens's keyboards on that song really stood out to me, I love the sound. Really sounds like they're doing some progressive/experimental/just plain new things on this album, that's exciting.
