Stratovarius Community

...still has a profound effect on me, personally. I've been introduced to many more power metal bands and other genres of music since discovering Stratovarius, but Strato still has a special place in my heart as the #1 power metal band. Unlike other bands, I feel like I can actually relate to the band members through their songwriting, and an instrumental from Tolkki or Johansson speaks to me in ways that mundane words never could. "Phoenix" is still my all-time favorite song to listen to, and I appreciate the recurring theme in Strato's music: our world can be screwed up at times, but we have the potential to be anything that we allow ourselves to be. That kind of optimism is refreshing.

First post on these forums in a long time. =)
