STRATOVARIUS Guitarist TIMO TOLKKI Issues Update On Forthcoming Album; New Songs "Reminiscent Of Visions / Episode Era"
September 12, 2006, 18 years ago
STRATOVARIUS guitarist Timo Tolkki has issued the following update on the progress of the band's forthcoming studio album at his official MySpace page:
"Everything has gone very smoothly and I have written seven songs by now. I expect to complete the songwriting by the Stratovarius tour that kicks off from Canada. After that we will record the demos and enter the studio somewhere around February. Release date should be either October 2007 or February 2008 followed by a world tour.I already have the album title and for those who want to guess, it´s two separate words that both start with 'R'. The song material is more traditional Stratovarius; it is very melodic and quite reminiscent of Visions/Episode era. After the last album I wanted to write more traditional Stratovarius songs. There are double bassdrum songs as well.
I'll keep you updated about how things go and try to check in also from tour."
Cheers, Timo
