Castaway or Event Horizon

I would have liked to have Castaway as part of the main album instead.

Event Horizon: Castaway sounds more like a modern re imagining of Black Diamond so I prefer it being a bonus track. I feel like Event Horizon fills the gap quite nicely before Move the Mountain with the change in style and with the build up to Elysium. :)

I also think that Event Horizon should stay on the album. Castaway, as Krigo stated, reminds a bit of Black Diamond. Besides, EH fits in much more than Castaway. I find this bonus track less spectacular although I really love both songs :wink: I wish Stratoguys had placed them both on the album :(

First time I listened to Castaway, I thought that it was a Black Diamond parody.

What song should Stratovarius cover on the next album?

This. I'm actually not a fan of any of Elysium's bonus tracks, they all sound very subpar for Stratovarius and given the other material that made the album I'm surprised at how unlikeable they are.
