Stratovarius is definitely one of the quirkiest metal bands out there; they were formed almost 30 years ago, in 1984, but no founding member is still in the band – the longest standing member is Timo Kotipelto, who joined in 1994. But even so, they still got it, as this clearly shows:
Their newest video is called Nemesis, coming from their newest album. Here’s what the guys had to say:
“It was a really nice experience working with Pekka and his team, and Lithuania was a pleasant surprise, very friendly people there and everything worked out great. This video sets the mood of the song perfectly. And the fact is: a band is nothing without the fans.”
A bit clichee, but what are you gonna do. Anyway, if you’re a fan of theirs you can buy a ticket for one of the concerts in their European tour, which starts in March:
