Stratovarius: Eternal

LP Record After more than two years, Stratovarius have finally broken their silence to release their eagerly awaited new studio album, "Eternal". Alongside long-standing members Kotipelto and Johansson, guitarist Mattias Kupianen (a prolific songwriter and producer), virtuoso bassist Lauri Porra, and young talent Rolf Pilve, one of the best drummers of his generation, craft the distinctive sound. For "Eternal", the band took an exceptionally long time by their standards. "Since the release of 'Polaris', we've put out a new studio album every two years," explains Jens Johansson. "But after the success of the 'Nemesis' album and world tour, we collectively decided to take a short break. Now, tanned and refreshed, it's high time to get back in the ring."
