i'm very excited about this new album. i just saw the "work in progress, I, II and III" on youtube and the music i heard was so touching,
i think this will be a great era for stratovarius
you can tell this era will be very different, just take a look at the album's artwork and title, that its notsame usual strato

Cover art looks great, reminds me a bit of a mixture between elements and visions, can't wait for this album.


I wonder if Timo Tolkki has seen all this?

There is no Illy. And I am happy that it is gone. Like I said above, it was something that Tolkki used first and brought into the band. It sort of belongs to him so I think it is okay if the Illy is gone.

That's true. And I don't miss the lily. I mean, this new logo looks amazing!

Amazing cover artwork. Beautiful. It also carries on with the tradition of previous album covers and same time looks so fresh. Hits right on the soft spot of my sci-fi loving heart.

Same here. I like the freshness of the look most with the sci-fi/fantasy style. I was never fond of the lily to begin with - a very over-used symbol. I'm glad to see they're going with something fresh and unique, which parallels the new music.

The cover sort of looks like a movie poster for a epic blockbuster.
