Description/Reviews: 

The idea was to have a magniloquent metal / rock opera with some cinematic orchestrations to bring back the Stratovarius original sound in a more symphonic and grandiose fashion. Tolkki says: “The Land of New Hope album is one part of the story, the end of it actually. The story is longer and goes back to the time before this album’s story, so 2 more Metal Operas are likely to follow to complete a trilogy."
