Finnish melodic metallers STRATOVARIUS have issued the following update:
"We have now played the final Latin America gigs with [drummer] Jörg Michael, who is leaving the band after 16 years.
"2011 started with the release of the 'Elysium' album and was a long year with a long world tour together with HELLOWEEN. After some time off, we are now looking to the future, composing material for the next album, and we are also looking for the next drummer.
"We have some great candidates already, but since we have a bit of time, we decided to also cast a wider net to see what comes up. So, if you have some touring and recording experience, are — more important — musical and hard hitting, and — most important — a nice dude, you might be the one we are looking for!
"If you think this sounds like you, playing in a world-famous metal band for a living sounds like something you'd enjoy, and if you want us to listen, please put on some headphones and record a video of yourself playing any of these three STRATOVARIUS songs: 'Coming Home', 'Father Time' or 'Deep Unknown'. You can for instance upload them to YouTube.
"Send the video links and a short letter with your personal information to this e-mail address: drummer@stratovarius.com
"What do you have to lose? The world awaits you! Plus money, fame, great times, and all the beer you can drink."
Jörg joined STRATOVARIUS in 1995 and made his recording debut with the band on the "Episode" album (1996). He has appeared on nine full-length releases from STRATOVARIUS and has played nearly 1,000 shows with the band.
Commented STRATOVARIUS singer Timo Kotipelto: "The rest of us just has to accept Jörg's decision with a lot of sadness and wish him all the best for the future. But we can also assure that the band will still go on."
STRATOVARIUS and Jörg will not completely go their separate ways, however, since Jörg will still be working for the band through his booking agency, Twisted Talent Concerts.

Ничего себе сравнение: Coming Home и Father time. Принципиально разные песни. Тогда бы уж писали, что надо записать обе. Всё равно Страты это в первую очередь скорость.
