New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26

[Burning Reflection]

Regarding the Tolkki argument, past is gone, life goes on. The situation is what it is and now I am pretty happy with all the music from the Stratovarius family; it's great!

Don't get me wrong, I loved polaris (must have listened to it a hundred times), but the only gripe I have about it are the lyrics. They are not completely bad and I recognize the artistry, direction and beauty when I listen, but nothing really struck me as powerfully as some of Tolkki's lyrics. Granted, polaris was the first attempt with the new line up so it's a little unfair to compare, but I hope for some moving lyrics in Elysium to go along with the awesome music! I think Tolkki is an overall good person and very intelligent, but he's human like us. If one thing Stratovarius has taught me, is that every human has the same strength and potential, so I hope that the Strato guys can write some equally inspiring lyrics one day!

[ggonza43]

If people don't understand that this is a new Stratovarius, a new direction of their music plus containing a lot of elements they had, then it's better they stop listening to Stratovarius. What it's clear is that people don't want to hear remixes from previous songs. People want to hear new things coming from the today's Stratovarius line-up. Now it is a band again.

Thank you for your words of wisdom ! Couldn't agree more with you

[ggonza43]

It's OK, you did a great job after all

[Kosmo]

You faded away, and woe is all that remains, and i have gone astray

[ggonza43]

The last chorus interpretation was hilarious !

[Texidor]

That was great !

[Texidor]

Hey had anyone been able to find any pre release reviews of Elysium yet ? I know that sometimes they will come out a few weeks before the album!

I'll be doing my best:

LYRICS - INFERNAL MAZE

You faded away
And woe is all that remains
And I have gone astray
My mind full of fearing stains (?)
I'm carrying a seed of insanity
A burden of faded memories...

Delusion, destruction, salvation...
No, I am the sapien (WTF!?)

Hate in this creed
Awareness so numb this time
Underneath the skin
You're still drooling in

And what I've come to find
A state of mind
I need to find
A way to carry it
For my soul will once again be free!

But first I need to bare it instead:

Infernal Maze
I'm lost within an internal game
Infernal Maze
The demons are calling out your name
Infernal Maze.

[Solo - Matias / Jens / Matias / Jens / Matias & Jens Duet]

Infernal Maze
I'm lost within an internal game
Infernal Maze
The demons are calling out your name
Infernal Maze
I'm lost within an internal game
Infernal Maze
The demons are calling out your name
Infernal Maze.

These demons, these demons
Haunting me, Infernal Maze!
Infernal Maze!
Infernal Maze.


There you have it. I have a pretty keen ear, because I can make out most of this stuff. Only a few errors. Darkest Hours was easy compared to this!

[WinterBlack]

You faded away
And woe is all that remains
And I have gone astray
My mind full of fearing stains (?)
I'm carrying a seed of insanity
A burden of faded memories...

Delusion, destruction, salvation...
No, I am the sapien (WTF!?)

Hate in this creed
Awareness so numb this time
Underneath the skin
You're still thrilling in

And what I've come to find
A state of mind
I need to find
A way to glorify
my soul we'll once again be free!

But first I need to bare it instead:

Infernal Maze
I'm lost within an internal game
Infernal Maze
The demons are calling out your name
Infernal Maze.

[Solo - Matias / Jens / Matias / Jens / Matias & Jens Duet]

Infernal Maze
I'm lost within an internal game
Infernal Maze
The demons are calling out your name
Infernal Maze
I'm lost within an internal game
Infernal Maze
The demons are calling out your name
Infernal Maze.

These demons, these demons
Haunting me, Infernal Maze!
Infernal Maze!
Infernal Maze.

I think so

[Kosmo]

That was OKAY but i think i came the closest to the real lyrics.

[mayhem-for-all]

Just got my copy of Darkest Hours.
Really nice but I was surprised to notice when transfering the music into my mp3 player that the demo is actually bigger as a file.
(well it is 25 seconds longer)

[ggonza43]

Thank you so much for the lyrics people
