As ║ │ │║ with part one, also volume 2 comprises of songs ║ │ │║ we know from the past. However, there are three ║ │ │║ new songs on the album too. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The album starts with æEnigmaÆ, which is the ║ │ │║ first song that premieres on the album. The tune ║ │ │║ features all the typical Stratovarius trademarks ║ │ │║ and fits perfectly. Timo KotipeltoÆs great ║ │ │║ voice, the hooks, rocking guitars and a solid ║ │ │║ portion of melodies, thatÆs what fans expect and ║ │ │║ itÆs what they get with the title track. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ æBurn Me DownÆ is the next new song and also ║ │ │║ this tune delivers to expectation. A bit more ║ │ │║ rhythm-based the track has some ear-worm ║ │ │║ potential. The third new song is entitled ║ │ │║ æOblivionÆ. ItÆs a more mid-paced song and to me ║ │ │║ the least exciting one of this triple. ItÆs a ║ │ │║ kind of predictable scheme that characterizes ║ │ │║ the track. I was waiting for the song æto ║ │ │║ explodeÆ but it flows like a river in a straight ║ │ │║ river bed û no twists. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Next to the new songs, the band re-recorded four ║ │ │║ classics in an orchestral version, which gives ║ │ │║ the tracks a new appeal. Last but not least and ║ │ │║ since itÆs the same concept as with ║ │ │║ æIntermissionÆ, the album contains several bonus ║ │ │║ tracks and songs that have been unreleased in ║ │ │║ Europe so far. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ So, in a certain way æEnigma: Intermission 2Æ ║ │ │║ comes with some exciting stuff and itÆs ║ │ │║ especially the two of the new tracks that ║ │ │║ showcase a band that knows how to play melodic ║ │ │║ metal in a good way. Also, the orchestral ║ │ │║ versions add some extra to this release, that is ║ │ │║ more than a simple æbest ofàÆ. The world wasnÆt ║ │ │║ maybe waiting for this release, but it doesnÆt ║ │ │║ cause ear-pain either. I guess it becomes more ║ │ │║ exciting to see the guys on tour since they will ║ │ │║ be on the road for a co-headliner tour with ║ │ │║ Tarja in autumn. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by Markus for ║ │ │║ www.markusheavymusicblog.org ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Timo Kotipelto - Vocals ║ │ │║ Lauri Porra - Bass ║ │ │║ Rolf Pilve - Drums ║ │ │║ J÷rg Michael - Drums (tracks 3, 5, 8 , 11, 16) ║ │ │║ Jens Johansson - Keyboards ║ │ │║ Matias Kupiainen - Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Enigma (Recorder 2018) [04:22] │ │ 02 - Hunter [03:30] │ │ 03 - Hallowed [05:53] │ │ 04 - Burn Me Down (Recorded 2018) [03:43] │ │ 05 - Last Shore [05:33] │ │ 06 - Kill It With Fire [04:52] │ │ 07 - Oblivion (Recorded 2018) [03:51] │ │ 08 - Second Sight [04:26] │ │ 09 - Fireborn [04:47] │ │ 10 - Giants [05:28] │ │ 11 - Castway [04:41] │ │ 12 - Old Man And The Sea [04:16] │ │ 13 - Fantasy (Orchestral Version) (Recorded 201 [04:25] │ │ 14 - Shine In The Dark (Orchestral Version) (Re [04:28] │ │ 15 - Unbreakable (Orchestral Version) (Recorded [04:46] │ │ 16 - Winter Skies (Orchestral Version) (Recorde [06:00] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [75:01 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
