Biography
Stratovarius was founded in 1984 by three guys from Helsinki, Finland; drummer and vocalist
Tuomo Lassila, bass player John Vihervä and guitarist Staffan Strahlman. Before Stratovarius
the same line up performed under name Black Water.
The music of early Stratovarius was very different from what it is today. Back then it was
heavily influenced by Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. Guitar player Staffan brought in
some classical elements. Bass player John left the band by the end of 1984 and was replaced
by Jyrki Lentonen, who previously played with Timo Tolkki in a band called Road Block.
