│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Timo Kotipelto is well-known heavy metal voice ║ │
│║ from Stratovarius and Filthy Asses (somewhere in ║ │
│║ time before that other, a bit more famous band). ║ │
│║ As Stratovarius are on the docks, Kotipelto does ║ │
│║ what guitarist Timo Tolkki did a few months ago: ║ │
│║ Releases a solo album. Tolkki did it for the ║ │
│║ second time, but this is Kotipelto's first solo ║ │
│║ effort. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ And not a bad one at all! If this album has ║ │
│║ something new to offer, I'm afraid, but I can't ║ │
│║ find it too easily. Kotipelto has based his ║ │
│║ musical visions on pure heavy metal what we all ║ │
│║ love so much, now don't we?! Of course, this ║ │
│║ sounds modern, even though some songs cause a ║ │
│║ feel of dΘja vu from somewhere down a loooong ║ │
│║ heavy metal timeline. If I name bands such as ║ │
│║ Rainbow, Iron Maiden, Dio, I think they say ║ │
│║ something about Kotipelto's musical idols. In ║ │
│║ vocals department, Mr. Kotipelto uses quite high ║ │
│║ register, and this creates some barriers. For ║ │
│║ example, the acoustic 'Beauty Has Come' is a ║ │
│║ slow, balladish song, but the vocals are still ║ │
│║ high and loud. I think he sings better on his ║ │
│║ solo project, but his English pronunciation is ║ │
│║ very Finnish. The lyrics do not shake my ║ │
│║ foundations, because Egypt has been a popular ║ │
│║ theme in metal world for a couple of decades ║ │
│║ already. By the way: 'Waiting for the Dawn' is ║ │
│║ not filled with Mid-Eastern melodies. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While all the songs came from Kotipelto's pen, ║ │
│║ he has hired some bright stars: Mike Romeo from ║ │
│║ Symphony X (guitars), Roland Grapow (ex- ║ │
│║ Helloween, also on guitar), Gas from HIM ║ │
│║ (drums), Jari Kainulainen from Stratovarius ║ │
│║ (bass) and Janne Wirman from Chilren Of Bodom ║ │
│║ (keyboards) to name a few. Plus, this Finnish ║ │
│║ version with one bonus track, on which Anthony ║ │
│║ Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One, ex-Vengeance ║ │
│║ etc.) plays guitar with his individual style. ║ │
│║ The song itself ('Book of the Dead') isn't this ║ │
│║ album's true highlight, but Mr. Lucassen's ║ │
│║ playing makes it a small gem. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Soundwise this is good for this kind of metal: ║ │
│║ clean but kicking. Derek Riggs from Iron Maiden ║ │
│║ fame has created cover art, but with computer ║ │
│║ and it doesn't really please my eyes. ║ │
│║ 'Powerslave' can not be topped!!! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Some gems are 'Battle of the Gods', single track ║ │
│║ 'Beginning' and the title track. If these won't ║ │
│║ appeal for you, maybe this isn't for you. I ║ │
│║ personally do not listen to Stratovarius but ║ │
│║ once a year, I find this an interesting ║ │
│║ collection of heavy metal music. If a tad long. ║ │
