very nice

Yes, it looks cool I like it very much

Nice

Is this telling a concept of future civilization ?

Screw you Friday 13th, this is great! Wonder when the new single will be out...?

Whoa! LOVE that artwork! Very powerful and eye-grabbing. Haven't figured out what it all means yet, but...uh.. probably won't anyway. Thanks for the track list.

Wow this seems to be a very nice album !! I want it now !! I loved the cover, actually I set it as my desktop background.

Great job guys !

Can't wait to see you here in Toronto !

Cheers !

When will the album come out in mexico? I already want to buy

It's Beutiful. I'm pretty shocked couse i was not expecting that kind of artwork, but is amazing, absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!

I must add that the official website should be redesigned to fit in with the new artwork.

That looks awesome.
and the tracklist sounds awesome.
this is going to be great.

Ooaaah! It just looks amazing!
I love the cover art, and also the idea of a Suite, it can be really interesting.

Seemingly you've gotten totally ridden of the Lily.

Quite depressing, allthough it has it's roots from Tolkki.

Wow, a magyar (Hungarian) guy making the design. Back to the Finno-Ugrian roots?

Nice cover, it is very interesting and much different from the previous album covers. I am looking forward to reading/hearing about the concept to understand it. And of course to hearing the new material finally.

This album cover is awesome! This are the kind of Covers I love! 1000x better than the Revolution Renaissance cover. I LOVE IT! The cover is actualy my desktop wallpaper now!

wonderful cover! the album will be awesome for sure!

That's the awesomest cover-art I've seen in years. For some reason it reminds me of the trailer for the new Star Trek -movie.

The new logo of Stratovarius is great, very dynamic.

Its real nice, kinda Sci-Fi! :bigok:


But, I thought the cover was the user Polaris' avatar?

good news=D very cool!

hmm the lily seems to be gone

The Illy was the sign of Tolkki if you will. He first used it on his "Classical Themes and Variations" album in 1994 and in 1997 he brought it to Stratovarius. When he left in 2008 to from Revolution Renaissance he took it with him. I think it is alright that they don't use it anymore.
