earMUSIC recently announced the release of Blackoustic, the first ever acoustic album by STRATOVARIUS frontman and solo artist, Timo Kotipelto, joining forces with Jani Liimatainen (formerly of SONATA ARCTICA). All songs from the album are covers, except for "Where My Rainbow Ends" written by Liimatainen. Regarding the song, Liimatainen commented, "I remembered a song I wrote last winter. Originally it was an instrumental track, but after listening back to it I thought that the melody would work very well with vocals. We rearranged the song into our acoustic format and as a slave of habit I wrote the lyrics for it the night before our last day of recording. It turned out surprisingly beautiful and delicate.
