Stratovarius的進度~

[AnthonyL (阿牛)]

as title....

The cover artwork for "Polaris", the new album from Finnish melodic metallers
STRATOVARIUS. Due on May 21, the CD — the group's first since the departure
of guitar player and main composer Timo Tolkki — will be made available via
the band's new label partner Edel under the new imprint earMUSIC outside of
Asia and the band's longtime record company in Asia, JVC.

Commented keyboardist Jens Johansson: "We are very happy to have found strong
label partners for the new era of STRATOVARIUS who truly believe in the band
and are as enthusiastic as we are. I can't wait to hit the road again and
meet all fans who supported us through all our good and bad times."

In September 2008, freed from many burdens of negativity, the band found the
freedom to go into seclusion for almost a month in a cottage by the sea in a
Finnish forest to relax, laugh, write songs, be creative together, and
record. And they found themselves being a band reborn. The result is a
melodic, powerful, fresh, tight, and technically elaborate new album.

"Polaris" was recorded in the fall 2008 at Hästholmen and 5by5 studios in
Helsinki, Finland. Mixed by the longtime confidant of the band Mikko Karmila
the album became another shining polar star at the Northern sky. Powerful
melodies mingle with sophisticated arrangements, strong anthems stand
alongside heavy songs. 11 songs full of energy, musicianship, and a positive
outlook.

Vocalist Timo Kotipelto explains: "'Polaris' is a positive, powerful album
that STRATOVARIUS fans all over the world are certain to take to their
hearts."

The band will support the release of their new studio album with live shows
around the globe. The world tour will start in the U.K., followed by a number
of dates in continental Europe. September will see STRATOVARIUS playing live
shows in Asia, followed by a full North and South American tour in
September/October. A European headlining tour is scheduled for January 2010.

STRATOVARIUS' latest addition is 25-year-old Finnish guitar phenomenon Matias
Kupiainen. Drummer Jörg Michael said, "In Matias we found new character who
fits perfectly with his way of melodic guitar shredding. He is a killer
player, a 'wunderkind' from Finland!"

Other working songtitles that are set to appear on "Polaris" include:

* "King Of Nothing"
* "Eternal Life"
* "Something Precious"
* "I Am Blind"
* "Free Diving"

Because tomorrow, the sun will rise.

Who knows what the tide could bring?
