Stratovarius Community

Ok, we are talking about different types of bad than, the logical technical bad, and the inside of rages subjective head bad. Riggs work only fits into the latter, as he is skilled at the digital imagery on technical levels.

Riggs' submissions expecially for Strato to me were very defining for that era in tha band. I mean he really emplified the Infinity to relate that to Strato. In my opinion the Polaris cover and its creator have done that as well. Who knows it may define the next few Strato releases as effective as the Fleur was when the band first introduced it.........

Yes, the Rigg's creations were very very defining and imo, great creations.

Polaris cover is another great creation, and fits a lot with Stratovaius and all the things we are gonna find now.

Either way I think we can all agree that the new cover kicks much ass

That pic of jens that RazielSR has as a avatar
kicks some ass too. It looks like a AOA character. it looks like the guys had a great time for that photoshoot.

Yes, it seems, the photoshoot was great. I don't know how many photoshoots they made, but the pics are really good. Everything is going very very well, and it's gonna be better.

I would like to know when the band will give to us some samples, I'm so curious & anxious to hear Polaris

Plenty of samples can be heard in the Work in progress video.

I do hope that soon there is a place to get 1 minute sample clips of some songs like many record companies do, something like the chorus of each song would be brilliant but likely too much to release too soon. This will be cool when the video comes out.

I'm content to wait for the video

I just completely loved the new Stratocover. To me it brings an old feeling of a band we hand´t seen for long. Can barely wait to listen to it all. Long live Stratovarius!

Nice!! I'm looking forward to hear any previews! I, at least, hope that it's better than the self-titled album in 2005. *sigh*

Also, the cover is probably the best since Infinity and Elements Pt.1

I actually had no problem with the self titled album, it was different but it still sounded like stratovarius to me

Indeed. It wasn't that bad. I liked it more than the Elements Albums.

Yes, I know, I have saw this video many times, but is not the same, I wanted real samples, I'm a greedy fan, I want more & more!

Go to the "Listening to polaris right now". Jens posted a sample there. 1 part demo from Lauri and another one from a song.

I think it is on the first or secound page. Or was it another thread? I dunno, but Jens posted a sample.

its like star wars mixed with narnia and lets not forget spongebob .
Just kidding ... Very nice indeed. the guy that made it has some mad skills.

Also, does anyone know when the album will be ready for pre-order? I want the limited edition.

Hope the cover art will be on the Polaris Tee-Shirts?

Has this collectors edition cover art been already posted here? And hi to everyone, Im new here but i've been visiting this forum for years now.

it seems the album is up for pre-order in europe but I'm not sure about north america yet.

I'm enthralled to know about that too!

That album cover is an awesome sight!

Both album covers are excellent!

They are awesome, they remind me of the elements covers

I have to disagree with you on that ......Now do not get me wrong just an opinion but even though I love the covers to E1 and E2, I think that Polaris kicks it up a notch and really blows your mind. But like I said just an opinion.......

I wasn't saying they were better or worse, it was just my opinion that they were in sort of the same vein that's all.

Jens, does the 7" Edition that comes with the Special Edition have the good cover art, or the boring cover art?
