Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Stratovarius, the Finnish power metal band that never fails to ignite a flame in the heart of any metalhead. Enigma - Intermission 2, their latest release, is a whirlwind of epic solos, soaring vocals, and enough energy to power a small country.
From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where dragons soar through the sky and battles are fought with thunderous riffs. The title track, "Enigma," is a symphonic masterpiece that will leave you breathless, while "Oblivion" is a headbanger's dream with its blistering guitar work.
But it's not all fast and furious - tracks like "Unbreakable" and "Castaway" show a softer side to the band, highlighting their versatility and emotional depth. And let's not forget the instrumental track "Oblivion Intermezzo," which showcases the band's technical prowess and intricate musicianship.
Overall, Enigma - Intermission 2 is a triumphant return for Stratovarius, proving that they are still at the top of their game after all these years. So grab your air guitar, crank up the volume, and let yourself be taken on a journey through the world of power metal. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist
Stratovarius
Finnish power metal legends Stratovarius have been melting faces and blowing minds since the early 1990s. With their epic, virtuosic musicianship and soaring, operatic vocals, these guys are like the Wagner of metal--except with way more denim and leather. Formed in 1984 in Helsinki, Stratovarius quickly made a name for themselves with their technical prowess and catchy hooks. Guitarist Timo Tolkki, keyboardist Jens Johansson, and vocalist Timo Kotipelto are just a few of the virtuosos that make up this powerhouse of a band. Their music is a unique blend of classical influences, melodic metal riffs, and hair-raising solos that will make even the most hardened headbanger shed a tear (of joy, of course). Songs like "Black Diamond" and "Hunting High and Low" showcase their ability to seamlessly blend high-speed riffage with emotionally charged melodies. But it's not all serious business with these guys. Known for their playful, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and penchant for over-the-top theatrics, Stratovarius know how to have a good time. Whether they're rocking out on stage or goofing off in interviews, these guys never fail to entertain. With a discography that spans over 30 years and includes over 15 albums, Stratovarius are true veterans of the metal scene. And with their relentless touring schedule and passionate fanbase, it's clear that these guys aren't slowing down anytime soon. Bow down to the gods of power metal, because Stratovarius are here to stay.
