Hey I was just looking at the cover for "Darkest Hours". Maybe I am reading too much into it and I may sound like a fool. But the cover has a little of a religious overtone to it. If you look at the way the pelican is positoned it looks like the crucifixion. Not to mention the barb wire around the head. Just saying LOL!
SHINE ON!
Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
a little bigger one again
Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
I noticed at the bottom of the cover there's a dead pelican.

Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
The cover art is nothing but a comment on the priorities of corporations, almost definitely inspired by the recent BP spill incident. If you got something religious out of that, I'd say you need to look less into cover artwork and more into your soul

Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
in fact, the pelican is a symbol for jesus christ...
Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
I don't really see any religious theme, nor a religious subliminal message in the artwork.
What I see (in short) is one face of the world we live nowadays.

if the pelican had a bloody heart it would fit better with the religion theory

Well, because we see a pelican in an artwork, that doesn't mean is a christian theme, that is just hilarious. And as icecab says, the "christian pelican" have nothing to do with this pelican.
I like the artwork a lot. It is modern, direct, impressive and realistic.
I'm really anxious to hear this EP. I have my preorder in amazon + fast delivery. Let's hope to know soon which songs is gonna contain.

Well Said! When I first made the comment it was not to imply anything! (even though some in the forum may have thought so )! I just thought it was interesting in the positioning of the picture. I think the cover is amazing none the less........It definitley reminds kinda of what Infinite cover did ten years ago! So excited!
SHINE ON!

Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
Well, I just ordered both from amazon.de, and I don't know if I'm totally blind or there isn't an option to change it to English, I've suffered for half an hour with google translator field by field and button by button to get everything right as I don't know any German besides Prost and Wackeeeeeeeen!
Fortunatelly I found out that my info was already saved from my "normal" amazon.com account, otherwise I would've had an even harder time
I hope everything's right as I got the message "Vielen Dank, Ihre Bestellung wird bearbeitet." and the pictures of the 2 items underneath
Now, to avoid further suffering on new buys, can someone tell me where's the option to turn the page into English? I tried clicking to the USA and UK sites listed in the bottom but there's no Strato's new EP on those
Now the waiting starts killing me slowly

Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
It would be cool to know if the live tracks are from Polaris tour or from another tour.
And the two new songs, will appear in the album? Or just the supposed single, Darkest hours?

Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
I think the two live tracks are performed by the current line-up and are originally from "Polaris Live" recordings. They were excluded from "Polaris Live" album because the "Polaris Live" CD contains over 75 minutes of audio content already and it doesn't have enough room to hold one more track (Both two live tracks are over 5 minutes, but a standard CD can only hold up to 80 minutes of audio content).RazielSR wrote:It would be cool to know if the live tracks are from Polaris tour or from another tour.

About the two new songs, if they will appear in the new album, I think this "EP" should be called a Single.
Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
I can't wait!!!
Re: Stratovarius new EP "Darkest Hours" NEWS!!!
This is gonna be a fantastic EP, that two live tracks are classics, and I saw Against the wind in Madrid (they played this song in the tour for the first time there) and it was fantastic. And if this two new songs doesn't appear in the final album, then it's better cause we'll have a lot more music! Anyway, I suppose some song will appear. If not, that means they have tons and tons of music! .VictorTDD wrote:I think the two live tracks are performed by the current line-up and are originally from "Polaris Live" recordings.

And what about "Illumination"?? Who knows now if that will be a song or it was a fake or someting? I can imagine the strato guys laughing his ass off in the variusbunker reading this topic and seeing how we are speculating about all this all the time. And maybe there's a polar bear too.
