专辑简介

Northern Europe's Condition Red mixes progressive metal with hard rock, neoclassical and fusion. The new album, simply entitled Condition Red II, is quite different from what the band did on their self-titled first album, even though some elements are still present. This time all vocals are handled by Ella Grussner who also plays some killer violin on a few spots on the album. Drums are played by Gerald Kloos who is a member of Empire (featuring Neil Murray, Tony Martin, Don Airey and Rolf Munkes) guitars are once again played by Lars Eric Mattsson and Alex Masi. Alexander King returns on keyboards just like on the first album. Condition Red II contains 13 songs, of which some are shorter instrumental interludes - and no song is over 7 minutes, unlike on the first album where the focus was on three very long pieces (and three shorter).
