I just bought Darkest Hours single from iTunes. After listening to the Darkest Hours Demo, I have to say that the solo on demo version is longer than that on abum version.

Really? So how come they cut it ?

The song itself is 25secs shorter too. No idea why.

Sorry if I'm this bad at maths, but that doesn't make sense

The actual song is shorter by 25 secs (other approach: the demo is longer by 25 secs). Get it?: D

I got it, I just don't see the point in cutting a solo from a demo? That's crazy

No idea too. But I think I like the demo a little more, which is weird. When will you get your copy?: D

For 98219831th time , I ain't buying the single but the album (In fact, I never bought any of their singles). I just want to give it a short listen so I can have a preliminary view of how "Elysium" will turn out

Well then, I guess I can help you out. : D

If you know from a place I can listen to both full tracks, then you will be really helpful

Just bought my single from Itunes. Amazing sound and Jens was right the mix is 10x better than leak. Now we reached on threshold now we have get some other samples from " Elysium " to keep this momentum going. Congrats STRATOVARIUS!

I also just bought the single from Itunes, and I wrote a review! Expect it to be up in a little while.

[AAAAAAAAAAAA 3.0]

I still like deep unknown more than darkest hours...and infernal maze

[VictorTDD]

Anyone can post the lyrics of Darkest Hours and Infernal Maze? I'll appreciate it.

[Billy Mays Jr.]

Hi Billy Mays Jr. here with the lyrics of "Darkest Hours"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These frantic memories
They bring me down, tormenting peace
The darkness drowns me
I'm restless without sleep
When day breaks, I'm still awake,
I recall my mistakes

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,
I'll be never alone, never again, never alone...

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

Those frozen memories
Laid out for me, all I can see
The night surrounds me
Destroying harmony
What lies beneath, demising me?
I've lost my purity

I'll be never alone, never again, never alone,
I'll be never alone, never again, never alone...

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!

[Solo]

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I've left my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

When all my hope is gone,
I'm waiting for the dawn
I raise my head and find my own way out of the dark
I leave my past behind
I'm reaching for the light
I'm not afraid to live my life - I'll take what is mine.

I'll make my way through the darkest hours of my days!
