Nemesis

Nemesis shows all the exciting elements of Stratovarius, and presents a band very sure of its possibilities. It's melodic, powerful, fresh and technically elaborated. It's heavy as much as it can be but at the same time it shows an incredible sense of melody.

Produced and mixed by new guitarist Matias Kupiainen, and mastered by Mika Jussila from Finnvox studios, Nemesis pushes on the modern direction taken with the previous 2 Stratovarius albums. Fans of Elysium will be blown away by Nemesis. The songwriting is inspirational and avoids clich©s; each band member is under the spotlight and contributes to a monstrous sound...

The album has it all: great guitar solos, dueling with Johansson keyboard solos, great vocals and a rhythm section like no other in heavy metal. Stratovarius has been kissed by the muse of inspiration on this album, which is destined to be one of their all times favorites.
