The planets have finally been aligned, this was a long time coming.

I don't know what to think but I'm curious

I’m curious too, especially since I really miss this sound.

Project is on the works since 2009, don’t know why it took them so long to really make it official, with an album announcement.

Holy shit... if we get something along the lines of the original Dreamspace from this, I'm all in

I actually haven't really heard any Stratovarius before Episode so I may take the opportunity to do just that. Count me in as curious too.

^ oh man, you really need to get on Dreamspace. One of the most underrated/overlooked power metal albums out there, with a dark, almost unnerving atmosphere and progressive songwriting

Has there been any further updates on this?

Band played a concert in Athens, Hellas in early September, and the setlist included stuff from the upcoming album.

Nice. Still eager to see how this turns out.

Just surfed their facebook page, and found out that they are taking their time with the album.

Release date has been pushed for April 2024.
