Limited two CD edition. 2011 album from the Finnish Power Metal band. Bubbling over with ideas during their Polaris world tour, the band subsequently started working in their studios in Helsinki, Finland to record this impressive masterpiece. Filled with melodic, powerful, fresh and technical tracks, the album will with no doubt convince the Metal World that Stratovarius are a force to be reckoned with. Elysium was produced by Matias Kupiainen who proves to be not only a great musician, but also a gifted producer. Altogether the whole creative working process within the band became more democratic, integrating the best and most valuable unique talents of all five members in the song writing and recording process.
"Elysium (Deluxe Edition)" is a standout release by the legendary Finnish power metal band Stratovarius, presented here in CD format. This deluxe edition offers fans an enhanced listening experience with bonus tracks and exclusive content that showcases the band's signature blend of melodic hooks, virtuosic musicianship, and symphonic grandeur. Stratovarius has been at the forefront of European metal since their formation in 1984, earning international acclaim for albums like "Visions," "Destiny," and "Infinite." Their influence on modern power metal is immense, inspiring countless bands worldwide. The album is released by Edel:Records, a renowned German music label known for its high-quality productions across various genres and its commitment to supporting both established artists and emerging talents.
Stratovarius launched into early 2011 with new album "Elysium" which has pretty impressive cover artwork, a quality CD booklet and a nice picture of that star shaped space-ship thingy on the disc itself.

Upon receiving Elysium I realized that Stratovarius has been around for over 25 years. Some things you just don't really fully appreciate. That's a lo...

The fact that Stratovarius helped write the book on Finnish power metal is inescapable. As such, they have the luxury/curse of releasing strikingly si...

Helloween really couldn't have picked a more appropriate band to support them on their 7 Sinners Tour than Stratovarius. There's more than a few paral...

Ganz ehrlich: Wer hat eigentlich noch was auf Stratovarius gesetzt, als es hieß, dass sich Problem-Gitarrist Timo Tolkki und der Rest der Band sich ge...

Man wird den Eindruck nicht los, dass Stratovarius die ScheiÃ?e an der Hacke klebt. Nachdem der ganze Stress mit Ex-Gitarrist Timo Tolkki vom Tisch wa...
