Whitney Houston was co-executive producer and recorded six songs for the soundtrack of The Bodyguard, her acting debut in a feature film. The album became the best-selling soundtrack of all time, selling more than 45 million copies worldwide. “I Will Always Love You,” the film’s first single, is the best-selling single by a female artist in history, and spent 14 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a record. The film starred actor and Oscar winner Kevin Costner, and it was the second highest-earning film of 1992 with more than $410 million. The soundtrack earned Whitney three GRAMMY Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year, and swept numerous other awards shows. Whitney’s career-defining version of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” went 10x platinum in the U.S. and sold 20 million copies worldwide and recently joined the billion views club on YouTube.

Stratovarius – the Scandinavian flagship of Symphonic Metal and one of the most famous bands of their genre in the world, managed to establish themselves as one of the top names in the Metal scene and have since influenced bands all over the world. The Finnish band gained international success with albums like ‘Fourth Dimension’ (1995), ‘Episode’ (1996) and their epic project ‘Elements, Pt. 1’ (a peak in their Progressive and Symphonic style of Power Metal) and ‘Elements, Pt.2’ – to name just a few of the band‘s milestones. In 2009 ‘Polaris’ marked a fresh start for the band as guitarist and band leader Timo Tolkki left the band. Instead of being a difficult re-start, ‘Polaris’ showed Stratovarius in top form and perfectly able to captivate people all over the world: The album became a hell of a comeback and charted higher than the previous releases around the globe. Since then, Stratovarius continue to walk the path of success, inspiring fans and other bands, young and old, all over the world.

Seven years after the release of their last album “Eternal”, Stratovarius once more prove their status as symphonic metal flagship and come back with a big bang. Not only musically the band is once more at the pulse of time. The environment and humanity’s future has always been an important and reoccurring theme in Stratovarius’ music and so the title of the new album “Survive” as well as the accompanying artwork doesn’t surprise – especially in the view of the current global situation.
