Frontiers Music Srl is excited to announce the return of TIMO TOLKKI’S AVALON with the release of the long awaited third chapter in his metal opera, “Return to Eden”!
Five years in the making, “Return to Eden” marks a new return for the legendary ex-Stratovarius guitarist and composer Timo Tolkki. Following a few personal issues which forced him to take a step back from the spotlight, Timo started the writing process for the new album and with the help of the Italian producer Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere), completed this outstanding comeback album. A convincing and inspired release, Timo's hunger to create is stronger than ever. As with previous releases, a slew of heavyweight guest vocalists were brought in to handle lead vocal duties. "Return To Eden" features appearances by renowned Dutch singer Anneke Van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering), Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage), Todd Michael Hall (Riot V), Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania, Ardours), and Eduard Hovinga (ex-Elegy).
"I would like to say… Tolkki is back!” exclaims Timo. "I feel that this is one of my best works to date and I believe the whole cast of singers and musicians truly went above and beyond the call of duty. We managed to create a really great record. I hope the fans will like it."
Timo Tolkki - Lead Guitars, Bass
Andrea Buratto - Bass
Antonio Agate - Piano and Keyboards
Giulio Capone - Drums, Piano and Keyboards

Mariangela Demurtas and Timo Tolkki's AVALON, a combination, that works pefectly ! Not too heavy, not too noisy, not too "metallic" ... (you know what/ who I mean, don't you ?)

[@davidmkb26]

I love her voice, but I can't stop imagining this song being sung by Kotipelto.... I think it would be amazing!

[@vhaleryanadamant1975]

Anything the old Kotipelto would sing would sound amazing. The nowadays one can still manage some good songs, on Oblivion he sounds very cool, but still not as magical as "Nightfall" or "Keep the Flame Alive".

I do wonder why Tolkki choose to hire this woman to sing? The world is filled with millions of great symphonic metal singers - most of which sound like copies of each other, but at least they sing very, very well! Then there's this woman. She is okay, good for local karaoke. But she's holding this song back. Even Tolkki's previous find, the good-but-not-spectacular Caterina Nix, could sing this 10 times better!

Great song and great album !!! This is another masterpiece from Timo \m/

[@ManigoldoLostCanvas]

Timo Tolkki's songs have always been fire and water, power and sweetness, Yin and Yang, few artists manage to combine these two aspects; it makes me angry when I hear scornful comments towards a person who has a very big heart like Timo Tolkki, I wish him the best and can find serenity.

[@bosh6604]

Well I thinlk most people disliking him are probably not accepting that a person makes mistakes in general :'D I mean, yes, he left the band pretty abruptly, but i mean, he has finished the album and didnt ruin the tour or anything.

[@ManigoldoLostCanvas]

@@bosh6604 Now that Timo Tolkki is alive and fights with his illness to give him all, forgetting when in the days of Episode and Visions they jumped on the wagon of the winner and nobody allowed himself to criticize his work; as a success for other BIG artists I hope that then they do not cry his death with hypocritical sentences; long life in Timo Tolkki.

It's the "fleur de lis" symbol, you can find it everywhere but also in the Tolkki-era Stratovarius artwork.

Agreed. It sounds like they started the healing process between Tolkki and Stratovarius

[@boris9047]

@@JoeStuffz What's the basis of this assumption? Tolkki has used that symbol all the time in his solo work, and he has written faster songs many times since he has left Stratovarius.
