@ The unknown one: I've read that when you first posted it, and I honestly didn't believe you...Now I regret !
@ Texidor: +1!!

Seriously guys i dont want to spoil it for any of you.

Not that I have any reason to doubt you, but I've seen this game played countless times on other band forum. So let's hear it, what's the first lyric of the 18 minute song?

Well played "Rebel" !

[Texidor]

Touch'e Rebel Touch'e LOL! Nice Work !

[ggonza43]

Indeed. Besides, we aren't that stupid to know that Elysium with its 18 minutes will own the album!

Note: When this happened on the Blind Guardian forum and someone asked for the first lyric of WoT, there was a delivery, followed by a shitstorm.

You mean "Wheel Of Time"? I can imagine that shitstorm

I had the privilege to listen the full song before it's deleted by earMUSIC. First time listening the whole song, and I have to say is these 3 things:
* Very happy song for it's name
* A godamnit catchy chorus
* Nice solo you've done there Matias and Jens, but kind of short I think

It's a great song, I have to admit it

[NeverendingAbyss]

It's a simple song. I like it.

[ggonza43]

It's a simple song. I like it.

And yet with a some different touch from "Polaris". I now wonder how does "Elysium (song)" sound

[finnlandia]

Great song!!

[ggonza43]

My guess is that the sample from the "Meanwhile in Finland" video is part of Elysium. It sounds like it belongs to a song no shorter than 12 minutes

I just expect an epic-intro like they did with "Visions", "Destiny" and "Inifnity" !

Jens, I was wondering...

If you had to describe Elysium in 3 words, what would they be?

I'm not Jens, but if I can guess: long Stratovarius song.

[Balu]

Doublepost, but I don't care.
Got the album using TOR + $3 Amazon MP3 download promotion + googling a US adress. How fun, right? Also, it's legal! : D

[mmarton88]

Darkest Hours and Infermal Maze are the best Stratovarius songs since the Elements Pt. 1 album.

IM reminds me to Rebel. If I wouldn't know that Tolkki is not in the band anymore I couldn't tell it from these 2 songs (OK. Maybe the solos are different but not worse.)

[VictorTDD]

* Nice solo you've done there Matias and Jens, but kind of short I think

I just bought Darkest Hours single from iTunes. After listening to the Darkest Hours Demo, I have to say that the solo on demo version is longer than that on abum version.
