my friend showed me this band yesterday. He showed me this album and Infinite. HOLY SHIT these guys are amazing. This is one of the most kickass instrumentals I've ever heard. Ever.
That's like, the first Power/Neoclassical metal song I've ever many years ago. This is so good, one of the best instrumental song of all time in my opinion.
The fact that I watched both that one EBF animation and Xionic Madness in such close time frames (both of which use this song) is such a cool coincidence
15+ years later and I still have One More Final Battle stuck in the back of my mind associated with this song. Even without that, this is still an absolute BANGER of a track.
you are fuckin dumb mate , even if the new albums are good , popularity of stratovarius is all about timo tolkki writting with the whole band , you probably thought speed of light (to name one of the few..)was written by Kupiainen ...Not
Remember folks, there's a reason they always play Eagleheart, Hunting High and Low and Black Diamond at the shows and it sure ain't because of the new albums.
none of you have listened to any of Tolkki's solo stuff, have you? old stratovarius stuff is great, but take a look at the album "stratovarius" that album was pure garbage. after that Tolkki left and since then they released a couple of great albums including what I think is the best epic stratovarius have ever written, "Elysium". meanwhile, every of Tolkki's solo projects has been a failure with music that is mediocre at best. he is a good guitarist, but not a good songwriter. this is clearly shown by the difference between the music Tolkki wrote with Stratovarius and his solo stuff.
Tolkki did write some not so good stuff, but the guy is plagued by Bi-Polar. He's had some good stuff outside of Strato though and some great musicians with him. Interestingly though you'll see Jani Liimatainen from Sonata Arctica wrote a lot with Kotipelto and many songs by the two were in Eternal and two in Nemesis. It's why I'm a big fan of Cain's Offering.

You have to have fingers of steel, the concentration of a god, the patience of Gandhi, and multiple guitars and guitar strings to eventually get this right
@@RealisticHum4n it's the precision that makes it difficult, and trying to do it all in one take if you've learned it. I just finished doing stratosphere in one take, been trying that for a while. Guess it depends on your level of playing also, if you say it's easy, I'd like to see a video of you playing it. Cheers
He allways gives credit from where the music is he uses... just look in the credits... btw Im looking forward to EBF5. It will be a good game anyway... i think...
el q diga q le gusta el power metal y no conoce STRATOVARIUS, es un ignorante xq guste o no guste esta banda es lo mejor del Power Metal finlandes e internacional,tienen too lo mejor en un mismo grupo lastima q tolkki se fue pro Stratovarius FOREVER FREE!!!! YEAH
During the 90s, Nirvana and their movement gave an almost mortal blow to Rock, Iron Maiden was on a huge break after Dickinson's departure, Metallica sold their souls to pop music, Halford was separated from Judas Priest and Ozzy was smoking his own hair among other things. Metal was almost gone. Metal survived through the pathetic 90s thanks to bands like Stratovarius. It was their melodic Metal what has given so many influences even to the very strong Death/Melodic style of today.
Good old Stratovarius time ;/ Seen them 2010 on Wacken and I was kinda disappointed, the audience didn't know the old songs ;( Too many fanboys out there!
@mirandaishotness i think they got on ea album 1 song where it's instruments only and no the singer did not leave the band this cd is all ready a couple years old
Of course! : ) "This is the most perfect and refined expression of Power Metal. Will always be my favorite song forever" (Remember that the Spanish community is also a}big ; ) )
According to me that's the best album! Element Pt.1 is simply great! Moreover there are some songs, like this one, that are able to make me stronger! WOW!

Are they still your favorite
@@sevvysweetsparkles6969 he's probably into black metal now
14 years later are you still listening to stratovarius??? Or are you into black metal idk 😂😂
These "unknown guys" are the fathers of power metal, people. They've been around since Helloween's best times.
Yeah, but all the original members have left the band
joo nope vocalis still original 1.

Es correcta esa afirmacion.

Love the guitar harmonies. drum riffs crazy... guitar riffs, like wise. melodic, complex, and very clean. The sweeps are near perfection. love this.
La expresión más perfecta y elevada de Power Metal. Será mi canción favorita por siempre.
my speakers are about to blow from the sheer epicness of this song!!

This song is one of the best instrumental power metal songs ever made!!!!!!
wow
dont need lyric, only music 🎶
long live stratovarius!!!!
I miss the Timo Tolkki's instrumentals in Stratovarius.
how I don't miss Timo Tolkki's terrible songwriting...

i did, look at my cover in my channel, really hard song.
@@TrochezCovers Tolkki himself claims this one as the hardest song he composed ever.
You know what? You're right

que maestrìa!!!! genialidad de mùsicos!! timo tolkie master
Siempre e pensado que está canción va de la mano con Stratosphere me relaja escucharlas en orden me da satisfacción 😅🤘

gandhi's gay
tbh its not that hard, its basic scales and arpeggios played fast
@@RealisticHum4n tbh its not that hard? it is hard, dosnt matter how is made.. is the fast fact that make it hard... not the composition
When you remember that bassist at the time, Jari Kainulainen didn't use a pick

I forgot about this song. It’s been about a decade since hearing it last. Used to be obsessed with it.
sin palabras una verdadera obra de arte great!!!
the best song i've ever heard
@eviljapan666 i heard a few strato songs in dragonball z for the playstation 2 but most were off of infinite!
Damm, this song ist really awosome, I wish I could play the guitar like this leyends. /,,/
Stratovarius PARA SIEMPRE!!!!!!!!!
One More final Battle
Metal is video game best friend
Ive been looking for this for SO long...my only mistake was not realizing most times that he gets his music from different sources.
Guy Zamdvais yep, me too
He allways gives credit from where the music is he uses... just look in the credits... btw Im looking forward to EBF5. It will be a good game anyway... i think...

q hermoso sonido simplemente fantastico !! (Y)
this is probably the best power metal track, from what i've heard
didn't appreciate it when i stumbled across them the first time. Only later did i realize the sheer amount of skill.
One of the bests songs that I ever heard in my life !!!

A que te refieres
ah?
la mejor cancion que he oido en mi vida
one of the best instrumentals EVER!!!
Love this song, particularly on the vocal... So keen...💪💪💪
the word stratos in greek Στρατος Means Army
B-52 Stratofortress is also a heavy bomber in US Air Force, I don't know if it has anything to do with the music though.
Found this track watching guitar covers back in the day. Still really good.
Incredible how many amazing bands come from Finland. Suomi rocks!
wow perfect played just
awesome
I want to see someone play this song on Guitar Hero expert difficulty lol

FANTÁSTICO!!!!!
beautiful masterpiece

Timo Tolkki, missing you!
Una obra de arte. YEAH!
And to think these guys have been doing this since the 80s. Forget most that genre called "metal," this is POWER Metal.
Awesome music, one of my favorites!!!!!

@mirandaishotness i think they got on ea album 1 song where it's instruments only and no the singer did not leave the band this cd is all ready a couple years old
sabes q como baterista has triunfado cuando la tocas perfectamente...
All power metal was born from these legends!
Dio, son
Heemiez Dio had nothing to do with power metal. It was Helloween that started the genre.
Helloween wouldn't have existed if not for Dio. His voice was that catalyst that started it all
Dio and a little bit of Iron Maiden
NiggeliNG Indeed Helloween was the first real power metal band, but Dio influenced PM a lot vocal-wise.
Recordando viejos tiempos...
Core memory unlocked
Ohhhh por todos los cielos!!! está increible !!
Que buen tema la puta madre loco... ya casi la saco en la guitarra, es muy bueno esto, no puedo creer que hay gente a la que no le gusta esto...
