Just like it happened with Gamma Ray, Stratovarius is a band that I discovered through their live material. Their 1998 album Visions of Europe...

"All the children on my region are really suffering from things they shouldn't suffer, and we are being raised to hate each other"

"We are traveling the world under good conditions, we play for quite some people, usually the shows are really packed and the response is great. It's just great, what more do you want?"

It's just the fun thing of putting us all on the stage and making a heavy metal big-band.

"It’s all heavy metal; that’s what we’re doing – we play heavy metal."
