Stratovarius will release their new album, Elysium, in the US and Canada on January 18, 2011 (not January 14 as originally reported)

Recorded at 5-by-5 studios in Pit�j�nm�ki, Helsinki, Finland, the nine-track full-length will be released through Armoury Records and features cover art by Gyula Havancs�k.

Elysium will mark the debut of newest addition: 27-year-old Finnish guitarist Matias Kupiainen. Said drummer J�rg Michael of the band's newest recruit: "In Matias we found a new character who fits perfectly with his way of melodic guitar shredding. He is a killer player, a 'wunderkind' from Finland!"

3. Infernal Maze
4. Fairness Justified
5. The Game Never Ends
6. Lifetime In A Moment
