From the very beginning (Polaris), I think that Matias has been able to integrate the guitar with Jens keyboards a lot. Like if they have been playing all his life together.

Indeed! And no matter what other says, Koti's high-pitched voice still sounds great!

Opinios are different on that.

I think his voice sounds terrible in that chorus.
I loved 'Polaris' because TK was singing a bit lower than he usually does. So I hope the rest of the 'Elysium' songs are not like this because I can't listen to the album from begin till end if it sounds like that all the time.
But we'll have to wait and see. Can't wait for the album though.

The samples on US site of 7digital are 1 minute long instead of 30 sec.

I noticed the high pitch aswell..Meh.
He has never been the master of controlling that high pitch, but now even less then before.

Indeed, and although I don't agree about what you say about his voice in "Infernal Maze", I guess I should respect your opinions as well

The lyrics of Darkest hours fits really well with nowadays Stratovarius. What a fantastic choice for a single. Matias is 100% into Stratovarius. This guy is really talented and knows how to deal with music.
It's funny...I remember in January, when we met Matias in Madrid, outside La riviera. We had a talk about Valencia, Alicante and how he didn't like the stage

and how he was a really kind guy. And I said to me, "hey I'm happy to know that this guy was the choice for Stratovarius"
It was clear that the guy was into Stratovarius around that days, but now seems like if he has been into Stratovarius for a lot of years. That is because is a really talented person. I don't think it's easy to arrive with 25 years old and almost any experience to a band like Stratovarius and start to compose, and more if you have in mind how hard that days were for the whole band.

Well that just proves how much of a professional Matias is. With 25 years, the world is his

It is depressing to hear how bad Kotipelto sounds in the Infernal Maze chorus. It's terrible. Other than that, the song is near perfection!

This is exactly what I'm thinking too. But well, we have Darkest Hours too. In that song he sounds perfect for me.

Yes. But we don't know if he sounds like DH or IM on the rest of the album. I hope it's like DH.
