[WinterBlack]

What about the new album? Why don't you release the demo? maybe online

[Kosmo]

I'd love to hear some new stuff too.

Sonata-Guys should start informing about a new album aswell.

Sonata Arctica?

They are still up to some gigs, their new DVD, and they still have some tour dates for 2011.

The thing about Sonata is that I think they are a bit unpredictable. Between Winterheart's Guild and Reckoning Night it was only one year, but between Reckoning Night and UNIA it was a 3 year wating period, and with the new DVD upcoming, I think we might have to wait to 2012, but who knows

About Strato, I think would be great if we could have some demos or like a taste of what is comming. I really want to listen new songs, specially the ones composed by Matias, since Deep Unknown is by far my favorite in Polaris.

[Kosmo]

Didn't they already film the new DVD or do i remember wrong?

also:

[mayhem-for-all]

You do remember wrong but they filmed parts of it earlier and they intended to film it in spring.

And about the album Tony has said a while ago that they still plan to get a new one released in 2011.

[HinatAArcticA]

What Sonata has already recorded are a few "bonus" songs live in Japan or something like that, bue the main show is to be shooted in September in Milan Italy.

[mayhem-for-all]

Yeah but they have filmed such things as the sonata arctica open air for example.
And yes you are right it is not the main thing but extras.
and of course they have the old dockumentary...

[Kosmo]

Do you mean the one that they aired in some film festival only?

I've wanted to see that for so long..

Exactly.
They bought the rights and Tony has promised to add it as an extra on the upcoming DvD.

[Kosmo]

Marvelous!

[Kosmo]

Has there been any rumors or anything about the name that the next strato album will have?

If it's Polaris pt.2 i'm going to laugh and cry at the same time..Although i highly doubt it will be that.

I just hope their take a whole new direction now, just to see how it turns

[Mehida]

Yeah let's experiment with the only known band that still plays power metal...
Not that Polaris is their best album, but at least there some good songs (Higher We Go, Blind, Winter Skies, Falling Star, Second Sight)

[Kosmo]

(Off-topic) Second Sight is my favourite and i don't even have it...

[ggonza43]

Ironic I had the album twice and still don't have "Second Sight" either . What's worse, I don't remember how it sounded...I'm gonna YouTube it right now

I have only in mp3, this song was a bonus to Japan, is very cool, but for me is not better than the others Polaris songs...

[hiro23]

From the samples they had posted already the new album sounds pretty epic, hopefully it'll be out before christmas.

[Kosmo]

Samples?

Where?

On the site?!

[RazielSR]

Hiro, man, what are you talking about?

[Rebel]

the one video lauri posted. had a demo.

[RazielSR]

the one video lauri posted. had a demo.

True, some seconds of a demo. But, when you read this: "From the samples they had posted already"... you think about the whole album preview or something

[Kosmo]

Oh yeah, that video.

verbotan or what was it.

[icecab21]

they actually posted the next three albums in whole and you just missed it.

[hiro23]

Sorry if I mislead you, I meant the video that was posted up with the few seconds of music.

[Rage1979]

I would rather wait.. not some simple demos please,

...If you don't feel tempted when they release it

[Kosmo]

I tried to avoid The days of grays songs when someone leaked the entire songs into youtube but..I couldn't, i have a weak will.

[ggonza43]

...Besides feeling "weird" with those demos

[Kosmo]

The first one i listened to was Zeroes, almost as strong an impact that i felt when Unia came out, rest of the album wasn't as..Shocking?

[ggonza43]

No matter how many times I listen to those 2, it's still hard to find 5 songs I like
