Needless to say, Kotipelto isn’t too upset that he’s out of the circus that is Stratovarius, though he isn’t completely freed yet.
Kotipelto’s latest solo album, Coldness, released by Century Media Records, was already a work-in-progress when he received his walking papers from Tolkki.
Kotipelto also enjoys the freedom to pursue his own musical vision, something he was never granted in the confines of Stratovarius.

 metaluk.com reviews / Kotipelto - Coldness
You’ve got to hand it to Timo Kotipelto; in a trail of turmoil and undesirable contractual obligations, he’s still managed to craft a largely impressive set of songs on his new album ‘Coldness’.
Kotipelto is especially good at this, and several of the tracks herein are without the aid of dynamic bursts of speed, preferring to linger in the realm of delicious hard rock.
Kotipelto’s songs are textured and nicely developed; equally employing light and shade.

 ToxicUniverse.com - Kotipelto - 5/18/2004 - Coldness Music Review
When Timo Kotipelto went into the studios back in September of 2003 to start recording his second solo album, few could have realized how perfect his timing was.
Stratovarius has become the joke of the metal world, which is why Kotipelto's solo release this May comes at the perfect time to help distance himself from all the other nonsense.
Fortunately Kotipelto's album Coldness is a solid offering from one of the most respected voices working in the European metal scene today.

Gifted Finnish vocalist Timo KOTIPELTO has enjoyed worldwide fame for numerous years of international success, experienced break-through album releases and has toured relentlessly all over the globe with Power Metal heroes Stratovarius and belongs among the most charismatic performers within the scene.
Coldness was engineered by Janne Wirman at Beyond Abilities studios and by Tero Kostermaa at High and Loud’s ELK-Studios as well as famous Finnvox studios in Helsinki, Finland, while the latter also served as the household location for the mix (by Mikko Karmila) and mastering (by Mika Jussila).

 Kotipelto
KOTIPELTO's touring in support of his sophomore solo album "Coldness", began on 18.03.05 in Madrid lasting till 09.04.05 in Athens.
A great track in which Kotipelto amazes me by a very melodic refrain after the power-riff shown in the strophe!
Comparing to the previous album, Kotipelto shows a better compositive approach also concerning lyrics, but just for this reason I'm sure he can still improve under all aspects, but on the whole I can't but say that this is an interesting album not only for power-metal fans.

 Maelstrom - Complete Issue :: Magazine on Rock, Heavy Metal :: Issue No 22
On the occasion of the release of Kotipelto’s second solo effort, Coldness, we talked on the phone in what became a rather rambling and genuine conversation that started with his feeling about leaving Stratovarius (something that you can feel still weighs heavy on his heart), to cars and the whereabouts of the real Derek Riggs.
Timo Kotipelto: I don’t think he was taking medication, but he was doing this therapy (Kotipelto emphasizes the word “therapy”).
Timo Kotipelto: Well, I missed one verse and one bridge from the song because I was behind the stage and the roadies were pouring cold water on my hand and wrapping it with a towel.

 MetalReview.com - Metal Review of Kotipelto - Coldness
Anyway, amid all of this madness was the writing, recording, and finally the launch of Kotipelto's second solo effort, Coldness.
Short of ripping Kotipelto to shreds, I honestly don't know what else can be said, so I will end my review on this note - If you're a fan of the newer Stratovarius material, then Coldness may suit your fancy, but it's doubtful.
PLus, by all indicators, Kotipelto is the vocalist for Stratovarius again, with many news reports referring to him as "Stratovarius vocalist" and not "ex-Stratorvarus vocalist".

 Metal-Rules.com: Interview with Timo Kotipelto
This interview was done some days prior to the announcement from Stratovarius guitarist Timo Tolkki that there could be no Stratovarius without singer Timo Kotipelto on board.
Most of the interview is about the music however as I would rather dwell on the positive and not be involved in slinging dirt towards Kotipelto's ex-band members from Stratovarius.
Seems that Kotipelto feels the same way and treated the topic with respect and his usual mature attitude.

However, after hearing the samples available for Coldness off of Timo Kotipelto's webpage, I can say that that anxiety about the quality of the album was gone.
I will admit I was a little disappointed at first with the lack of speedy solos from Romeo but now I realize that his typical Neo-Classical shredding would sound totally out-of-place here.
The reason I gave it four stars is because of its lack of originality - however, that does not mean there is a lack of quality.

The first Kotipelto album was good, but this one isn't really as creative.
The first two songs are great, but then, nothing new really, there aren't any interesting instrumental parts, I must say the only thing that kept this album from completely bombing was the fact that Kotipelto's voice is of course very good (maybe the fact that the album isn't that long either).
Having purchased and enjoyed the first Kotipelto cd, I was very much looking forward to the release of this one.

They are often regarded as one of the most influential Euro melodic power metal bands, recogniazed alongside Helloween, Blind Guardian, and Gamma Ray as leaders of the genre.
2004 marked a year of upheaval for the band, with Timo Kotipelto and Jörg Michael departing the band amidst rampant and sometimes bizarre reports of erratic behavior from leader Timo Tolkki.
Eventually the situation settled down (Tolkki admitted to some mental difficulties which he has since overcome) and the former lineup was restored, with their new album, simply titled Stratovarius, released in September 2005.

Wondering is this just single edit, as shortened for radio play, since solo is such short?
Track two is also taken from forthcoming long play, and its yet recognizable tune for Kotipelto, not in bad way of course.
