Finnish power metal legends Stratovarius have been working on a new album for already couple of years but now it seems that the group is getting the material ready and will be hitting the studio anytime soon.
Timo Kotipelto has shared an official update about the album via his Instagram page and said that the new songs are sounding awesome and he just need to finish the lyrics before the band hits the studio. He had the following to say about the band’s future plans regarding the follow-up to 2015’s “Eternal”:
“I had a visitor in my studio. Jens, Matias and I have been working on the next Stratovarius album. I have to admit that the new songs are awesome! Next step is to finish the lyrics and start recording the material.”
During a video interview Timo Kotipelto gave to KaaosTV in 2018 at John Smith Rock Festival the band had originally plans to finish the writing of the album by the end of 2018 and hit the studio early 2019 to have the album out also in 2019.
