I'm not sure if there was a topic to talk about this (or if there's people who care), but it seem's Jani has been working on several tracks, and we should be hearing some stuff from him fairly soon.
Sounds like 10 songs have been written, 8 of which will absolutely be on the record, it's great to see him writing again, because he's obviously very talented, and I think the next CO album will be really good.
this album is looking good, from the videos jani uploads and all the info he shares, I wasnt that interested in previous stuff from him but im really waiting to hear this one
Oh HELL YES. Been waiting for this for 5+ years. No Mikko Harkin which is a shame but Jens is the perfect replacement. Jani, Timo, and Jens. Fuck me it's like two Stratovariuses. CAN'T WAIT.
I checked the trailer, is really awesome, timo voice/performance is really good, is like the song was tailor made for his voice (which i guess is the case for the whole album)
im gonna buy this without any hesitation, I think jani has a winner here
With Matias mixing it and Mr. Mika Jussila mastering it, this record is bound to sound incredible...
It also kinda confirms what I've been thinking for a while for Sonata Arctica... they are just cutting costs mixing and mastering with Pasi, just for the sake of it. I find it hard to believe that Jani can afford Jussila and that Sonata couldn't. They are just being cheap, and that annoys me.
In any case, I wasn't much of a fan of Gather The Faithful, but Stormcrow sounds better and better every time. Really looking forward to this one.

I think they also wanted to favor their new band member or something. It didn't bother me that much even thought the result was much worse with Pasi. But I know nothing about mixing/mastering stuff, of course it's bigger deal for people that know and are interested.

Well, I have that topic about the remastering I'm doing on the new Ecliptica, and you can check the latest sample from My Land.

I'm so excited for this now!
Sounds amazing. 
Me too! Sounds great!
