From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Symphony of Enchanted Lands II - The Dark Secret is an album released by Rhapsody in 2004. Many have been confused by its title, as it's not a sequel to "Symphony of Enchanted Lands" but is the first chapter of a new saga, "The Dark Secret Saga". Although not a sequel, the new saga is set in the same world as "Symphony of Enchanted Lands", and thus it often alludes to occurrences from the "Symphony of Enchanted Lands". It is a concept album dealing with a the resurgence of the Seven Black Books of the Demon king Nekron.
Christopher Lee, a famous Hollywood actor (The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars), provides the narration throughout this album. He is also a guest singer in the single version of the song "Magic of the Wizard's Dream".
