\r\nWhen the artist gets inspired.. Revolution Rennaisance is the new band of Timo Tolkki, since Stratovarius have split up, almost split up or whatever…we can’t be sure for now, as the statements so far are a bit ambiguous. Time will tell, I guess. Let’s get back to the album now, titled “New Era”. It’s like listening to Stratovarius in the peak of their career, yet with a different voice. And what a voice, actually voices to be accurate. Michael Kiske, Tobias Sammet and Pasi Rantanen, all in very good shape they are merely amazing! Power Metal, melodic and dark at the same time, with all the splendor of Tolkki’s composing expertise and here we have one of the best modern power metal albums that we have listened to during the last period of time. The songs that I like the most are: “We are Magic”, “Angel”, “Eden is Burning” (aweome), “Born Upon the Cross” (awesome as well), “Last Night on Earth” and the title track. Well, being impressed, with all the meaning of the word, from 6 out of 10 tracks in total means a lot. Very good production, nice compositions and songs that you feel like singing along even if you have heard them only once… they reminded me of these times! If only the continuous voice over was missing while you are about to “travel”… \r\n
