May 8, 2008, 16 years ago
Former STRATOVARIUS leader/guitarist Timo Tolkki has issued the following update in regards to REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE enlisting new keyboardist Mike Khalilov:
"He was born in the city of Baku on May 7th, 1986. Currently living in New York, Mike (Khalilov) has been playing classical piano for nearly 12 years. He picked up keyboards when first hearing Jens Johansson ripping it up on an YNGWIE record back when he was about 14 years old. His favourite composers are Mozart, Haydn, Bach, and Beethoven. Favourite bands include Stratovarius (of course), CHILDREN OF BODOM, SKYFIRE, SONATA ARCTICA, and FIREWIND. Mike is a great keyboard player full of enthusiasm and with a great sense of humor. His Classical influences are a welcomed addition to his capabilities and will surely add a lot to the sound of Revolution Renaissance. Here is his MySpace page."
