Re: A little communication to Stratovarius and Stratoforum users
Uff... what an album! I preordered it before listening to it and well... I have enjoyed it a lot! My favourites are Castles In The Air ( I think that is a masterpiece in the level of Eternity), Out Of The Fog (hell, the best chorus since the fucking paleolitic era!) and Abandon (Holy fuck with that ...

Re: Current interviews
I am really looking forward to read or listen a full interview with Matias Kupiainen. I mean, he is the mixer and producer of the album(Nemesis), he has composed (or co-composed) the music for 7 of the songs and write the lyrics for 3 of them, plus he was in the end the composer (or co-composer) of ...

Re: HALCYON DAYS HERE !
Abandon is in a very vein to this, as is Stand My Ground, needless to say, and those 3 with Unbreakable are the first 4, keep in mind that heavy riff in the solo section of Unbreakable. It was one hell of an opening. Also, did anyone notice the vid on BraveWords claiming that one of the vids was fr...

Re: HALCYON DAYS HERE !
Of course it's a great song, but this hardly could be played live... So vocal adjustments and so many keyboards which fit perfectly in a album, but live it seems impossible to play. :?

With “Nemesis” two months from release, Stratovarius will soon shoot the first video clip from the album. The band is willing to involve their fans into the filming process. So, as the major part of the bans lately do, they maybe will record two clips... Anyway, good idea, I really like how the thi...

Re: Nemesis Tracklisting and Artwork Released!
Some one asked weeks before about the possible meaning of title "Halcyon Days", I searched a bit and I think that is all about the greek myth of Alcyone, perhaps the right meaning because of the tendence of Kupiainen to introduce greek myth things into the atmosphere of the band (remember Elysium). ...

Thw whole thing makes me laugh!
