HARD ROCK INTERVIEWS 2013 - STRATOVARIUS - LAURI PORRA
STRATOVARIUS LAURI PORRA talks to Mark about the latest album and the band's first dates Downunder in OCTOBER! |
---|
Stratovarius is a band that rules the Power Metal and Symphonic metal genres, since their formation in 1984 they have put out 15 studio albums and one live album. They tour Australia for the very first time in October 2013. We delve into the latest release 'Nemesis' and ask why it's taken so long to get here and will they have something special for us when they hit Sydney and Melbourne? |

Mark: With the two shows in Sydney and Melbourne, that you are playing, they are quite small, intimate venues, do you think you will put on a different show to the one you normally do?
|
|
Mark: The new album, “Nemesis”, has critics calling it one of your best yet, what did you set out to achieve with the album? There was talk of you becoming more commercial, or reaching a wider audience.
|
|
Mark: I think our favourites are “Castles in the Air” and “If the Story is Over”, can you tell us a little bit about those songs, and how they came about?
Mark: Is there any chance that “Castles in the Air” will be ready to play when you’re over here?
|
|
Mark: What do you think is the song that people here in Australia, most want to hear? There have been a few online polls, but I was just interested to hear what your thoughts were.
