Steelborn Records collated a STRATOVARIUS tribute album in 2004, entitled 'Within Infinity - Tribute to Stratovarius'. Meantime, in a rather unique event, Timo Kotipelto, alongside female vocalist Maija Vilkkumaa, performed several classic heavy metal covers with Finland's HEAVY LILJA ORCHESTRA on 26th August at the Manala bar in Helsinki. Kotipelto vocalised on renditions of DEEP PURPLE's 'Highway Star' and BLACK SABBATH's 'Heaven And Hell' before encoring on a medley of 'Paranoid/Smoke On The Water'.
With the events of a turbulent year behind them, STRATOVARIUS members Timo Tolkki, Jorg Michael, Timo Kotipelto, Jari Kainulainen and Jens Johansson met in Helsinki during early December to discuss prospects for the band's future. As 2005 dawned the group released an official staement declaring that "after much talk, soul-searching and reflection" the quintet were set to forge ahead with a new album.
By February the STRATOVARIUS camp was once more embroiled in controversy. A song intended for the new record, entitled 'Hitler' (subsequently re-branded 'Gotterdammerung (Zenith Of Power)'), including an intro made up of a genuine Hitler speech, was to be strongly objected against by record label Sanctuary. Timo Tolkki announced he had submitted the anti-Hitler song to the German Interior Ministry for clearance.
With recordings for the album complete, a promotional video for the album's first single, 'Maniac Dance', was shot in mid April by director Antti Jokinen. Despite the album being given a September release dates leaked tracks would be available on the internet as early as May. Japanese editions added an extra DVD featuring 'Stratovarius Rockumentary' and a live version of 'Break The Ice'.
Meantime, Timo Tolkki gained production credits for the Italian band VISION DIVINE's album 'The Perfect Machine'. STRATOVARIUS parted ways with bassist Jari Kainulainen, a longstanding member with over a decade's service to his credit, in June. The KOTIPELTO, WARMEN, GASHOUSE GARDEN, TUNNELVISION and SINERGY credited Lauri Porra soon stepped in as substitute. Meantime, Jens Johansson also made time to guest on NOCTURNAL RITES album 'Grand Illusion'.
A lengthy European tour in October through to early December had the band sharing stages with HAMMERFALL taking in Finland, Norway, Belgium, Germany, Holland, France, UK, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Austria and Hungary.
