I ordered the Japanese version today! I can't wait 'till the 20th of May! It should be here that day!

[hiro23]

Hopefully I'll be able to pre-order mine here in the next few weeks.

[Texidor]

I have to pre order mine soon- I am hoping to order the japanese version and the digi pack.......I CANT WAIT

[hiro23]

I'll most likely order two regular versions, one for me and one for my brother.

[Ikola]

just ordered the special limited edition cd + 7inch vinyl

[Tero-75]

I have preordered all other versions but normal vinyl version

[KcK]

I preordered the Limited Edition version (or that's what it said), I wonder what I will get. I ordered from the amazon.co.uk

[NightScreamer]

found a U.S. site to preorder from:

https://www.cduniverse.com

[hiro23]

One more week and I'll be able to order it

[rikkertje]

I've just ordered the Special CD + 7 edition from the U.S. Amazon
I'm in love with "Deep Unknown"
How will the rest of the songs be? *-*

[hiro23]

I'm positive they are going to kick ass.

Nice to see you Hinata

Well, these reviews give some insight into how the whole album will be:
Metal Rules
BEC radio
BWBK
and here's some opinions from people who listened to the promo in this thread.
Seems there's a consensus that it is a very Stratovarius sounding album, with lots of new elements and interest. Can't wait to hear the whole thing.

[hiro23]

I've been impressed with what's been shown so far.

https://www.futurecompetitions.com/stratovarius/ Can I get that hoodie somewhere??

[hiro23]

Does that competition apply to those of us located in the states?

[Irinia]

Does that competition apply to those of us located in the states?

This is what the terms and conditions say:

Unless otherwise stated, each Competition is open to all GB residents of 18 years and over, except employees of: (a) the Company; and (b) any third party appointed by the Company to organise and/or manage the Competition; and (c) the Competition sponsor(s).

So looks like it's only for Great Britain - sadly..

[hiro23]

That sucks, I would have loved to have won that hoody, ah well.

You're not alone about that
It looks fantastic!

Another UK-only Strato contest. Hopefully this marks the start of Strato getting much more well known in the UK (and as a result, more touring).

[hiro23]

While the rest of us get the shaft, damn those competitions. JK

[Ragehead91]

Damn those bloddy brits! Damn them to hell!

[hiro23]

That's right Ragehead let's start our OWN competition with ONLY people WE like.

Damn those bloddy brits! Damn them to hell!

Hush you. At least you get regular heavy metal tours in the mainland. Spare a thought for us culturally backwards idiots in the UK with our lack of a decent fanbase.

And we have hardly any decent festivals. Bloodstock thats it really no Wacken

Actually, Bloodstock's lineup this year is for the most part excellent. Cradle should never, ever be headlining a festival though, regardless of how big a draw they are.

Strato should again. They did one of the years, apparently..

[CES]

2006 I believe. That was the year where it was about Power Metal at BOA. Edguy and Strato headlining.
