Stratovarius have issued a lyric video for their track Shine In The Dark.
It’s taken from the group’s 15th album entitled Eternal which will be released in Europe on September 11 and in North America on September 18 via earMusic.
The Finnish outfit took time out after delivering their Polaris, Elysium and Nemesis trilogy to recharge their batteries.
Keyboardist Jens Johansson said: “Now we’re all tanned and rested and it’s about fucking time to get back into the saddle.
“Everybody has been busy the last few months writing lots of new songs – and only the best has been recorded for Eternal.”
Johansson, vocalist Timo Kotipelto, bassist Lauri Porra, guitarist Matias Kupiainen and drummer Rolf Pilve will head out on the road over the coming months to support the album.
