Guys, I just came back from the Hotel where Apocalyptica is staying here in Manizales and i talked a little with Tipe about Strato and that i read that he was on backing vocals on Polaris, but he also told me that he has worked many times with Strato and that he even recorded backing vocals in the pst albums like Visions and Episode and that he also helped with some lyrics, what else do you know about this?

BTW great guys from Apocalyptica, very down to earth

Thanks for the info; I'm sure he's probably listed in the liner notes but I'm too lazy to walk in the other room where my CDs are and look. :lol:

Seriously though, when I come back here later on, I'll take a look and see if he's credited on those older albums.

in both Visions and Destiny there is a guy called Richard Johnson which says it is a lyrics consultant, is he the same guy as Tipe, Jens?

If what Tero says its true then, yes he wrote those songs, he told me that he helped Timo (didn't told me which one) with his english in the lyrics.

Tipe has a great voice and a pretty wide range and besides that he is a great guy, he told me he would great Koti for me, I know he won't jaja but at least he was interested in everything we were talking about

He wrote the lyrics for 'Tomorrow', according to Episode liner notes.
"Beneath the freezing sky arrives Winter's Verge..."
