Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a highly critical evolutionary turning point for the Finnish power metal titans, 'Fourth Dimension' formally introduces vocalist Timo Kotipelto to the fold. The album powerfully solidifies their signature, globally recognized blend of rapid-fire neoclassical guitar shredding and soaring, intensely anthemic vocal melodies. This release fundamentally established the classic sound that would ultimately define their most commercially successful era.
