Stratovarius - one of the most famous symphonic metal bands in the world, managed to establish themselves as one of the top names in the metal scene and have since influenced bands all over the world. The Finnish band gained international success with albums like 'Fourth Dimension' (1995), 'Episode' (1996) and their epic project 'Elements,Pt.1' (a peak in their Progressive and Symphonic style of Power Metal) and 'Elements, Pt.2' - to name just a few of the band's milestones. At the last with their fifth album 'Episode' Stratovarius had found their sound and followers like 'Destiny' (1998) and 'Infinite' (2000) helped expand their fame and fan-base. Before coming back with a brand new studio album in 2013, Stratovarius are now releasing a 2 hour spanning live show filmed and recorded in Tampere, Finland, November 19th 2011. This is one of the very last shows with drummer and key-member Jörg Michael. 'Under Flaming Winter Skies - Live in Tampere' marks the end of an era as well as a new beginning. Hits and classics like 'Under Flaming Skies', 'Speed of Light' and 'Hunting High and Low' as well as exclusive bonus material (30 min documentary about the band's history, exclusive interviews with each member as well as an exclusive interview with Jörg Michael) makes it a must-have for every fan and a real collector's item not to miss.
