Stratovarius is a Finnish power metal band formed in 1985 and has released fifteen studio albums since its inception. "Fright Night" is their debut album, which spawned no fewer than four singles. The album is a mix of power metal, heavy metal and maybe even a touch of thrash metal.
Bandleader Timo Tolkki displays incredible skill with his fast-paced neoclassical runs and galloping riffs on guitar and takes on lead vocals. "Fright Night" begins with "Future Shock," which pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the album. "False Messiah" is the next track with impressive guitar work from Timo. "Darkness" is the strongest Power Metal song on the album and it closes with the very nice acoustic instrumental "Goodbye".
