One of the most epic chapters in power metal history has finally come to a close, late yesterday (My time at least) Timo Tolkki announced what a lot of us had seen coming, Stratovarius will be no more, you can read the whole letter here.

It's a shame to see it end like this, that there couldn't be one last show & that they never toured down here so I never got to see them live & I disagree with Tolkki on one main point. The band should have ended after Elements Part 2, that's where they essentially died for me, just thinking about the self titled album makes me want to vomit blood. But there is somewhat hope with Tolkki's new project, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

RIP Stratovarius, 2/4/08, lest we forget *Power metal fist in the air*
