"Unbreakable Preview Snippet"

 

We are proud and very happy to announce the release of "Nemesis" the new studio album by Stratovarius, to hit the stores as standard 11-track edition as well as 13 track special edition on February 22nd, 2013.

 

A taste of the new studio album can be enjoyed with the Limited Edition EP "Unbreakable", released on January 25th, 2013.

 

Stratovarius are hailed as one of the most influential and successful Symphonic Metal bands in the world and they have managed to establish themselves as one of the metal scene's heavy names. The new album "Nemesis" unites all the best traits of the band's melodic, powerful, fresh and technically elaborated metal, all spiced up with an incredible sense for melody.

 

The album was produced and mixed by Matias Kupiainen and mastered by Mika Jussila from Finnvox studios, who has a long history with the band.

To shorten the waiting period for the album, January 25th, 2013 finds the release of the limited edition EP "Unbreakable". It features five songs: the new album leading track "Unbreakable" and a selection of four songs from previous albums, remastered by Mika Jussila. Songs like "Falling Star" (taken from "Polaris") and "Freedom" (taken from "Infinite") show a different, catchy side of Stratovarius and guide the way to the new masterpiece "Nemesis".

 

Matias Kupiainen about the new song: "'Unbreakable' is a very important song to me and the lyrics have a lot of personal meaning. Sometimes you can snap out of your day to day fog and see what is important. And when you are in that special moment, when you have that special feeling, you are invincible, unbreakable; you should really stop and enjoy the feeling. Even, if the whole world falls apart tomorrow."

 

Timo Kotipelto adds: "This album has a darker and more modern sound. We, as a band, have gone through a lot and we have matured as songwriters. The making of this album was easier than before, because we could give it as much time as needed."

You know, I really have got to just make this... Even though there's so few here that are power metal fans or even listeners.

 

 

A one-stop thread for Power Metal.

I notice Christopher Lee works his metal magic with these guys as an occasional band member! :haz:

In the Dawn of Victory, the narration is embarrassing.. They need Christopher Lee to do all their narrations, he's a bad ass.

 

Chaos to Eternity is a great album, unless you're talking about Ascending Into Infinity (by Rhapsody 2) which I have yet to hear!

cant stand a lot of it, but I love old helloween, blind guardian, gamma ray, stratovarius, jag panzer, symphony x, manilla, road, etc

 

Hey, you like a good amount. You listed about as many power metal bands I listen to (about eight bands).

 

Listened to Luca's Ascending into Infinity. The first four tracks I've listened to several times... Quantum X is the very worst intro song they've ever done, god awful trance shit what the hell is that turn it off. Then the next three tracks are good. I like these new choruses, they go places different from where Fabio goes.

 

FREE YOUR MORTAL SOUL

 

But yeah, I'm hearing too much trance synth in these new power metal songs and I refuse to accept it. Aside from that the new Strato song is good. It leaked a couple weeks ago apparently.

Although I started a Steel Panther thread.. Glam Metal sucks. The songs are fun to listen to a twice at most.

 

Edguy is power / glam metal. I like their power metal side... They're OK, definitely not my favorite. I have Tears of Mandrake and their King of Fools EP. I have heard a lot of their stuff, but that's all I own. I have to say, the King of Fools EP rocks.
