Go for it anyways!
Really though, I appreciate the uploads very much and thanks for all this info.

Just use spotify. At least they get a few pennies there compared to youtube.

Thieves, thieves, Ggonza is the worst of all. Shame on you. You call yourself a Stratovarius-fan. Shame again. You are only envious and like to get some attension for yourself.

Can we now return to that mindblowing artwork, please?
:party:

And WELCOME BACK Gonza, hope you stay a bit longer this time :spin1: Thank God not only Flavio seems to have returned to the forum...

they also updated the startpage of the homepage. looking good!

impressive cover art....

I have envy with i'm horrible in photoshop but is why i dont have money to pay one artist

the artistis is extra level pro

the track titles are rather interesting, curious to see who has written which track... I'm secretly guessing already

I honestly couldn't care less about personal data stealing shits or what people think about my YT channel, that thing started almost 7 years ago as a way to bring the band's music closer to the fans, and I never in no way intended that to be a way for people to steal their songs for free, I always encourage my followers to buy the official record, and I will do the same with this upcoming masterpiece.

I'm just here praising that godly artwork and those 10 tracks, you all should do the same for fuck sake

FUCK YOU FLAVIO!!!!

yes, FUCK YOU FLAVIO, IN THE NAME OF FUCK! THE PENIS GOD!

This is wonderful! My ears are ready to have another orgasm again.

Huh! Are you on the FLO-wagon again?

Wonderful news!!! Pelican, star... and evolution?

This is exciting news..... I so curious to see if they can top Nemesis!

Shine in the Dark- First Single- Yes! Can you stream Radio Rock live!

it's just been played! great stuff, sounds different to all the previous albums, reminded me more of Cain's Offering in some ways. Catchy chorus, interesting melodies, interesting choir backgrounds... yep, made me want more

Just caught some of it on Radio Rock! Beautiful and strong song- A hybrid between the heaviness of Nemesis and earworm style of "Hunting High and Low" left breathless- Hope to hear the whole songs oon! It was only a radio edit it said, so I can only imagine what the album version is like

They need to play it again!!

ah, I'm sure you'll find a few bad recordings of the stream in a few hours... that's the bad side of streaming a single so early^^

Its posted and of course bad quality but even with the audio setbacks.....on my second full listen now!!!!!!!

Heavy and strong riff in the beginning and rolls right into this anthemic, melodic, masterful single! Shout it Stratofreaks!!!!!! They are back and I have feeling Nemesis maybe a prelude of what Eternal will be!


Oh wait third listen now

Couldn't help myself. Listening to it for the first time now. Wow, is this one of the songs Jani had a hand in writing? This sounds straight up like Cain's Offering.

This is gonna be another excellent album, I can already tell. Long live Stratovarius!

Just heard "Shine In The Dark", and I gotta say I ain't disappointed if this is the direction this album has taken. It has some heavy riffs like the ones we've heard in Nemesis, but still has a catchy chorus like the old Stratovarius. The solo is short but right to the point, I'm loving this so much :headbang:

I'm gonna guess #3 is Lauri composing?

Then I'll guess #7 is Jens.

I guarantee Jens wrote the ones that include fire in the title.
