Stratovarius once more

A lot of people have been asking me what I actually did on the new Strato album, so here goes:

Out Of The Fog
Music: Liimatainen/Kotipelto/Kupiainen
Lyrics: Kotipelto/Liimatainen

If The Story Is Over
Music: Liimatainen/Kotipelto
Lyrics: Liimatainen

I also played acoustic guitar on "If The Story Is Over", and sang backing vocals on all of the tracks. So there you have it. Go and buy it when it comes out, it really is worth it.

    Hey Jani I already order the Blackoustic album from ebay, it will arrive in about one month to my country, so I have to wait a while.
    I'll do the same for Nemesis when it comes out :)

    Keep it up jani, Greetings from Chile!

    I saw the acoustic version of If The Story Is Over, and it has one of the best melodies I've ever heard on a ballad. However the album version's going to be, thanks for writing such a beautiful piece of music.

    The band really should hire you as the full time lyricist, especially "Out of the Fog" is just so much better than what usually passes for the words coming out of Timo Kotipelto's mouth.

      Eh, why would I? It's not like I'm a part of the band, I just helped out with songwriting and some other shit :)

    "If the story is over" - is such a great song, I didn't knew it was yours. Often listened to it, when I needed to cry in the darkness...
