Turku 28.11:
A Million Light Years Away

Helsinki 30.11:
Destiny
Hands of Time
We Hold the Key

So nice to see We Hold the Key and especially Hands of Time in the setlist, hopefully they'll bring back some other old gems to the setlist next year.

I had to vote the Abyss of your eyes, always have been an epic song from Visions.

I'm glad about these two songs. To me Darkes Hours is even better choice for single than Deep Unknown. Catchy tune, and I'm sure many fans will love this one. Infernal Maze. At first i thought this was going to be some slow stuff, but when the song really started, i was blown away. Very, very nice s...

Sad news indeed, i deeply hope that Jörg gets well as soon as possible.

I don't think there will be huge setlist changes or surprises for the 7 Sinners tour because their playing time is limited to one hour, but i really hope there will be more changes when the actual Elysium tour starts.

Great and interesting news, thank you guys!

Great news! New music at last.

I think I'll buy this, although i already know a lot of Timo's backgrounds but i think this will be a touching book to read.

I listened couple songs from Youtube, and already i can say that this is definitely a better album than AOA, this sort of reminds me of Elements and New Era so far. I also like that album cover. I'm glad that Timo still does heavy music. Thank you!

Sounds good to me (especially that clip), excited to hear the full cd on 2011!

These clips kick ass! Must have been one of the best gigs of this year to Strato guys.

Yes, it's finally happening! Two of my favorite power-metal bands live on a same tour.

Well, Polaris album tour is almost over and they are already making new album, so i think they will leave like 1 song from Polaris to the setlist. It seems like the new album includes gooood stuff, so maybe they will play 4-5 songs from that on the future tour? It's difficult to ditch songs like Bla...

Yeah! PURE live album with nice setlist, after 10 years it will be nice to listen a new live album from Strato. Grreeat!

Setlist is getting better and better, Will The Sun Rise is nice addition

Hopefully bands good mood shows in the songs. Im sure it will be better than Polaris, i personally hope they will get closer to 1996-2000 era (of course?! The best era of this band 8)). More my opinions: - Fast opening track like Father Time OR heavier opening track like The Kiss Of Judas because i ...

Nice to have Paradise back in setlist, nice pictures too! There is some videos on youtube from this gig too, looks and sounds enjoyable

Im a quite emotional person and thats one of the main reasons why i love to listen music so much, because it helps me to carry on when im having hard times. Stratovarius is one of those kind of bands for me that has soul and meaning in their music. I have to agree with previous comments, for me the ...

Nice to have Destiny opening the set, i have always loved the way how that intro builds up the excitement and THEN.... 8) Just headbanging your ass off. Will My Soul Ever... is an interesting song in that setlist, that song could be replaced with many other songs too, but i guess this is an old conv...

Nice, Forever is always amazing with acoustic guitar.

I guess they are touring in Finland after Sweden? That Sotkamo date is a clear sign that there is more finnish gigs coming, which is nice! My first Stratovarius gig is closer and closer.

Nice setlist: Galaxies, Out Of The Shadows, Key of the Universe and Anthem Of The World. Its great that they played older stuff like Out of the Shadows, which is a great song from kickass album (they could play more songs from Twilight Time). Gus seems to be a good singer too, good choice for Tolkki...

It must be amazing to tour the world and see places like Beijing, these videos are great to watch, i have loved these from the first seconds.

Yep, i knew that Take Me High song earlier, but i think In My Dreams has also same things that Forever has. A Coincidence or not? Anyway both songs are amazing.

Ok, i tried to find topics about this but i didn't found any, i guess i have to check that topic.

Again another hilarious video from the road, amazing

I don't know how many of you have heard of finnish heavy rock/pop singer Kirka, but i just went through couple of his songs and i found one quite interesting song. It's called In My Dreams and it's from the 1986 release called R.O.C.K. Listen the song from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWbocH...

Just out of curiosity, where can I find this "Full Moon" track that the rest of you are speaking of. I own all 12 Strato albums from Fright Night through Polaris plus the Intermission CD of rareties and I've never heard of it. Is it a b-side? Japanese bonus track? Anyone have a torrent that I can d...

Polaris is somewhere in my Top-8, there with Visions, Episode, Destiny, Dreamspace, Twilight Time, Fourth Dimension and Infinite. Strato has made so many great albums so far, so its quite difficult to hit the top-3 for example anymore.

I voted for "030366." Really very odd but I love it. I don't know if any of the guys are Queensryche fans, but did Tolkki get any inspiration for that song from them? It is quite similar to "Screaming In Digital" from Rage For Order with it's odd time changes, use of synths, and gothic sound. The a...
