Finnish power metal giants Stratovarius have just unveiled that they will be releasing a "Best Of" compilation album on May 6th on earMUSIC. The new compilation album will also debut a brand new song, featuring their current lineup, the opener track of the album, "Until The End Of Days". The album is remastered by Mika Jussila of Finnvox Studios.

Keyboardist Jens Johansson explains: "It's been 20 years since the Episode album, we're all getting older but this stuff sounds as fresh as ever. Could it be that Stratovarius has discovered the fountain of Eternal Youth!? You may feel younger, but we can't actually (legally) promise you'll be younger after listening to this best-of album, but we can guarantee one thing: when you put it through your speakers, it will play 'Until the End of Days'!; To me it's a testament to the fact that paying attention to song writing and production was expensive, but so worth it. The songs, the sound and the performances really have stood the test of time."

Vocalist Timo Kotipelto adds: "Wow! 20 years in Stratovarius have passed at the speed of light! I still remember when I joined the band and was happy to do some power metal. And I am very happy to still be able to do it after all these years! This collection of songs is an excellent selections and a cool way to remember the history of the band from the past to the present! I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did while selecting the songs. Rock the Metal!"




The "Best Of" album will consist of 3 discs, and the tracklist is as follows:
