REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE Keyboardist Announced
  Mike Khalilov Former STRATOVARIUS mainman Timo Tolkki has enlisted keyboardist Mike Khalilov for his new REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE band. "[Mike] was born in the city of Baku on May 7th, 1986," says Timo. "Currently living in New York, Mike has been playing classical piano for nearly 12 years. He picked up keyboards when first hearing Jens Johansson ripping it up on an YNGWIE record back when he was about 14 years old. His favourite composers are Mozart, Haydn, Bach, and Beethoven. Favourite bands include STRATOVARIUS (of course), CHILDREN OF BODOM, SKYFIRE, SONATA ARCTICA, and FIREWIND. Mike is a great keyboard player full of enthusiasm and with a great sense of humor. His classical influences are a welcomed addition to his capabilities and will surely add a lot to the sound of REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE."
Former STRATOVARIUS mainman Timo Tolkki has posted another song from his new band, REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE, on the group's MySpace page. Check out the track "I Did It My Way" at this location.
REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE's current lineup also includes Brazilian drummer Bruno Agra.

REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE will release its debut album, "New Era", on June 6 via Frontiers Records. According to a press release, the CD "is a masterpiece of melodic power metal, taking the listener straight back to the 'Visions'-era STRATOVARIUS. In fact, 'New Era' is the album that was meant to be the next STRATOVARIUS album.
"Timo called a few friends for the recording sessions and the album features all the lead vocals from such legends as Michael Kiske [HELLOWEEN] and Tobias Sammet [EDGUY, AVANTASIA], along with Timo's blistering lead guitar lines and melodic power metal anthems that made him one of the pioneers of the style and trademark performers of the style. REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE witnesses a rebirth, a new era for Timo Tolkki and his music."
Other musicians that reportedly appear on "New Era" include Pasi Rantanen (vocals; THUNDERSTONE), Mirka Rantanen (drums; THUNDERSTONE) and Pasi Heikkilä (bass; 45 DEGREE WOMAN).

Толкки же вроде говорил, "I need a break!"
Вот нет чтоб новое что-то придумать... Над музыкой вообще не заморачивались... Как был Страт, так и остался. Только вокал Киске звучит как что-то новое в Стратовариусе.
