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.

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

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.

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 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.
