April 3, 2011

Long-running metal podcast MSRcast, part of Metal Injection Radio, recently conducted an interview with Timo Kotipelto, lead vocalist of Finnish metallers STRATOVARIUS. They discuss lots of great metal topics, including touring, the band's brand new album, "Elysium"; Timo's solo career; and even get into the topic of STRATOVARIUS' former guitarist Timo Tolkki. The podcast also includes music from "Elysium", some musical choices from Kotipelto, and other classic songs, including an AYREON track. You can now stream the podcast using the audio player below.

"Elysium", the thirteenth full-length studio album from STRATOVARIUS, entered the official chart in Finland at position No. 1. The CD was released in Europe on January 14 through earMUSIC/Edel and in North America on January 18 via Armoury Records.
