Our Take
Our Take
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. STRATOVARIUS's latest offering, Infinite, is a perplexing journey into the depths of power metal excess. From the bombastic opening track to the epic closing ballad, this album is a rollercoaster of fantastical lyrics, shredding guitar solos, and soaring vocals that will leave you breathless and possibly questioning your sanity.
In a genre known for its over-the-top theatrics, STRATOVARIUS takes things to a whole new level with Infinite. The musicianship on display here is top-notch, with intricate arrangements and virtuosic performances that showcase the band's technical prowess. But at times, it feels like they're trying a bit too hard to impress, cramming in as many notes and key changes as humanly possible.
The lyrics, while undoubtedly cheesy, are delivered with such earnestness that it's impossible not to get swept up in the melodrama. From tales of epic battles to introspective reflections on the human condition, STRATOVARIUS leaves no power metal trope unturned.
Infinite may not be for everyone, with its bombastic production and grandiose theatrics bordering on the absurd. But for those willing to suspend disbelief and dive headfirst into the world of STRATOVARIUS, this album offers a wild and exhilarating ride that will leave you exhausted, confused, and possibly a little bit exhilarated. Strap in, and prepare to be transported to a realm where dragons roam, knights battle, and power metal reigns supreme.

About the artist
Stratovarius
Finnish power metal legends Stratovarius have been melting faces and blowing minds since the early 1990s. With their epic, virtuosic musicianship and soaring, operatic vocals, these guys are like the Wagner of metal--except with way more denim and leather. Formed in 1984 in Helsinki, Stratovarius quickly made a name for themselves with their technical prowess and catchy hooks. Guitarist Timo Tolkki, keyboardist Jens Johansson, and vocalist Timo Kotipelto are just a few of the virtuosos that make up this powerhouse of a band. Their music is a unique blend of classical influences, melodic metal riffs, and hair-raising solos that will make even the most hardened headbanger shed a tear (of joy, of course). Songs like "Black Diamond" and "Hunting High and Low" showcase their ability to seamlessly blend high-speed riffage with emotionally charged melodies. But it's not all serious business with these guys. Known for their playful, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and penchant for over-the-top theatrics, Stratovarius know how to have a good time. Whether they're rocking out on stage or goofing off in interviews, these guys never fail to entertain. With a discography that spans over 30 years and includes over 15 albums, Stratovarius are true veterans of the metal scene. And with their relentless touring schedule and passionate fanbase, it's clear that these guys aren't slowing down anytime soon. Bow down to the gods of power metal, because Stratovarius are here to stay.
