It is the first Stratovarius album to feature new drummer Rolf Pilve, who replaced Jörg Michael in 2012. The album was first announced on the band's official website on 24 November 2012, with the track listing being revealed on 5 December 2012. A preview of "Unbreakable", the album's first single, was made available on YouTube and was released on 25 January 2013.[1][2] Background and recordingFormer Sonata Arctica guitarist Jani Liimatainen, who released the collaborative acoustic album Blackoustic in 2012 with singer Timo Kotipelto, guest performs on Nemesis, having also co-written two songs in "If the Story Is Over" and "Out of the Fog".[3] The band considered hiring an orchestra to perform in the album, but they abandoned the idea in the end.[4] The name of the album came up when guitarist Matias was sitting on the airport of Madrid and suggested it to his bandmates.[4] At that point, most of the lyrics were already done. The woman on the cover may be a savior, an avenger or the author of all the destruction, according to Jens.[4] Track listing{{Track listing| title1 = Abandon | lyrics1 = Timo Kotipelto | music1 = Matias Kupiainen | length1 = 4:51 | title2 = Unbreakable | lyrics2 = Kupiainen, Kotipelto | music2 = Kupiainen | length2 = 4:37 | title3 = Stand My Ground | lyrics3 = Kupiainen, Kotipelto | music3 = Kupiainen | length3 = 4:14 | title4 = Halcyon Days | music4 = Kupiainen | lyrics4 = Kotipelto | length4 = 5:29 | title5 = Fantasy | lyrics5 = Lauri Porra | music5 = Porra | length5 = 4:19 | title6 = Out of the Fog | lyrics6 = Kotipelto, Jani Liimatainen | music6 = Kotipelto, Liimatainen, Kupiainen | length6 = 6:58 | title7 = Castles in the Air | lyrics7 = Jens Johansson | music7 = Johansson | length7 = 6:02 | title8 = Dragons | lyrics8 = Johansson | music8 = Johansson | length8 = 4:04 | title9 = One Must Fall | lyrics9 = Kupiainen | music9 = Kupiainen | length9 = 4:27 | title10 = If the Story Is Over | lyrics10 = Liimatainen | music10 = Liimatainen, Kotipelto | length10 = 6:06 | title11 = Nemesis | lyrics11 = Kotipelto | music11 = Kupiainen | length11 = 6:33 | total_length = 57:40 }}{{Track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = Limited edition bonus tracks[5][6] | title12 = Fireborn | music12 = Porra | lyrics12 = Porra | length12 = 4:45 | title13 = Hunter | music13 = Kupiainen | lyrics13 = Kotipelto, Perttu Vänskä | length13 = 3:27 }}{{Track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = Japanese edition bonus track (Japan version also includes "Fireborn" and "Hunter") | title14 = Kill It With Fire | lyrics14 = Johansson | music14 = Johansson | length14 = 4:52 }}{{Track listing | collapsed = yes | headline = Limited vinyl edition bonus track[5][6] | title15 = Old Man and the Sea | lyrics15 = Porra | music15 = Porra | length15 = 4:11 }} Chart performanceFinland #3, Czech Republic #12, Japan #17, Switzerland #30, Spain #32, Germany #41, Sweden #44, France #56, Norway #56, Austria #62, Canada #126 Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = About.com | rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}[7] | rev2 = AllMusic | rev2score = {{Rating|3|5}}[8] | rev3 = BW&BK | rev3score = 8.5/10[9] | rev4 = Metal Storm | rev4score = 8.2/10.0[10] }} PersonnelStratovarius
