I really liked elysium and nemesis, I think matias is doing a good job at production and songwriting, the thing that I would like to be back for the next albums are the "hunting high and low" "eagleheart" kind of songs, I dont expect a copy paste thing but that "positive anthemic almost pop song" has been lost for a while now.

Something like Unbreakable?

Everyone is having a bit of time off now and also writing songs. So the closest estimate I could give would be "2014"..

There is no strict plan, the progress in songwriting will dictate the next steps I guess. I have to say I like it

So, in January jens gave this answer when asked about a new album. It's November now. How about an update on how things have progressed.

i dont want be a war weapons giting free "Timo Tolkki's atomic bombs" on yours heads

but all no see that stratovarius "CHANGE HIS MAIN DRAW ON WEB"?

I mean, no more NEMESIS COVER ART!

I mean, can this be a sign in that stratovarius are "THINKING IN THE NEW ALBUM?"

i only say it.....

Posted: **Thu Nov 06, 2014 8:33 pm**

They are writing songs in Lappajarvi with Jani Liimatainen.

Posted: **Thu Nov 06, 2014 8:57 pm**

If the guys do a new Elysium.....

let me say it that this can be a extra epic win.

but Elysium looks as one of those "special" moment in the life that happen sometimes

Anyway, one second "Nemesis" isnt bad too

I will tell you the true

By me, under my look "Elysium" was one those magistral moment as in in the past was "Visions" or "Destiny"

with the diference is that "Elysium" enjoy of the globalization and "Vision" and "Destiny" don't enjoy it

now, the marketing is much more easy that 90's

But in all seriousness, I'd much rather have well crafted amazing songs that took a while to compose and flourish than some rushed tracks that the band thought of while going on tour or something like that

Posted: **Mon Nov 10, 2014 6:42 pm**

As far as I heard, because of a certain reason the writing process takes a bit longer than they thought when that interview or whatever it was has been made. Honestly I don't expect a new album before next summer.

this.

I'd rather wait it out as well. When you rush albums you get Avalon II.

Posted: **Tue Nov 11, 2014 5:32 am**

really, timo tolkki is the machine to compose songs.

Avalon 2 isnt so bad, all can have a positive transformation. And avalon 2 can be transformed into a good albun if his team stop a bit to think more time

what happen if i told you that i compose one song with 1 chord (Do minor) and sound close that "signs of life of pink floyd" with all the samples and alternative melodies that have in this only one chord?

Of course that is a private stuff by now, and i dont have idea when i will share it, maybe i will never share my songs if my effort fails.

this.

What was the particular reason?

And I totally agree with waiting it out and having well thought out songs.

Posted: **Tue Nov 11, 2014 5:34 pm**

I can make some predictions tho

1. The title will have seven letters
2. Lauri will make at least one song about seizing the day
3. Longest song will be just over 7 minutes
4. Two ballads
5. At least three bonus tracks
6. Falling Star is on the cover. This time... It's back in space
7. 2 Jani/TK songs
8. Timo Tolkki will not approve

Heard Timo enjoyed Nemesis.

Here's the actual quote:

"Just heard two new clips, 'Unbreakable' and 'Halcyon Days', from my ex-bandmates. I am actually floored. These are really cool songs. The production is fresh and modern. Way to go!"

I don't think there should be any more drama about that lol

Posted: **Thu Mar 05, 2015 2:35 pm**

BUMP!

Knowing we'll have a new Cain's Offering album called Stormcrow in April, what about a new Stratovarius album!

Jens, Lauri, other members, any little hint that might get us excited?

Posted: **Thu Mar 12, 2015 5:40 pm**

Agreed! Elysium is their best album after Ininite!

Elements, Pt. 3 please!

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2015 11:39 am**

A hybrid of Elements' speed and the sound of Nemesis would be great.

The drum sound is already amazing and we got some extra "beef" from the room by using two Ampegs for toms, snare and bass drum. Videos to come little bit later.

Hell yeah, work in progress :banana1::banana2::banana1::banana2::banana1::banana2::banana1::banana2:
