Rhapsody Of Fire
Original post

Rhapsody...one of the cheesiest bands ever, hmm...maybe one of the best...each and every one of their albums contains epic choral arrangements, soaring vocals, mindblowing instrumentation, and of course, the quality that defines the band...the orchestra...unlike some bands, who have an orchestra just to hide the horrid quality of their music, Rhapsody uses it in a way to make you want to slay orcs and dragons, lol...yes I know...nowadays, the method of combining orchestras and choruses to power metal is almost standard...however, Rhapsody was one of the first to use it, and use it to its full potential...anyways, the orchestra rocks...makes it more epic...Rhapsody has been one of the biggest and most influential epic metal bands ever...climactic, epic songs full of adventure...and now, actor Christopher Lee (who plays Saruman in the Lord of the Rings movies) does most of the narrations for their albums...I find it really captivating, and exciting (and cheesy)...much neoclassical stylings on the guitar, and some absolutely crushing lines...of course, most of the songs go at 100 miles per hour, with doublebass and palm muted chords apounding, and the synths laying down a barrage of notes...as usual...however, they do have some great ballads...it doesnt matter...highly recommended (at least by me)...Rhapsody is one of the most unique bands of the power metal scene...so...welcome brother, to the world of power metal...a dangerous land filled with dragons, steel, magic, orcs, demons, wizards, and lots of cheese...power metal has some of the highest levels of cheese in any sort of music, but anyways...I think its great...and you should also check Luca Turilli's side project.
Fabio Lione (vocals)

Alex Staropoli (keyboards)
Patrice Guers (bass)
Alex Holzwarth (drums)

i still like Unholy Warcry, The White Dragon´s Order, The Myth of the Holy Sword and The Mystic Prophecy of the Demon Knight from the last two albums...if nothing else...  but i agree, i write everywhere only "Rhapsody"

Power of the Dragonflame, Legendary Tales, Dawn of Victory those are really worth to invest in (and the rest two from the Emerald Sword Saga (Symphony Of Enchanted Lands and Rain of a Thousand Flames) are good too )

Written by Lupas on 26.10.2007 at 09:40 Finally! Someone who agrees with me that 'Dawn of Victory' is the quintessential Rhapsody album! I often have arguments with people who are convinced that 'Symphony of Enchanted Lands' is better, and one of my friends even says that 'Power of the Dragonflame' is supreme, but I've always considered 'Dawn of Victory' a cut above the rest.

if your mail client will be able to send it (some clients cannot send more than for example 1MB of data or so)...my e mail is rakcesa@seznam.cz, but please be sure to name your e-mail that i can easily recognize it is from you (i receive many spams which i usually delete instantly w/o reading)

I hope the following album that they do in the future is much better........I find that the latest one was too overly produced. I mean the concept was excellent [as always], but musically, it wasn't thrilling like before. But the next album will be a new saga also so, even more of a reason to get my hopes up

Account deleted Written by Ellrohir on 18.12.2007 at 21:40 I found it! I wrote down the lyrics and searched for them in the browser. It's Fairyland!!! Damn, that's a relief  Duyhung, it was almost Dark Moor, since the female vocalist (Elisa Candelas Martin) of Fairyland sang in the early Dark Moor. Thanks!

Account deleted Written by Guest on 20.12.2007 at 15:34 yeah i know but it does not necessarily mean that we're gonna have a new saga with new story , i mean when writing that line ("a new saga begins") maybe Luca meant the battle between Algalord and Nekron has begun (with the seizure of the black book) rather than, well, a new story for the next album... Anyway all we can do now is wait for the new album and hopefully we'll have the answer  @krotchy : congratulations on the victory of your epic quest for that mysterious band (hahhah don't laugh at me, this is the thread of a power metal band, you know  )

Account deleted Written by Lupas on 20.12.2007 at 22:48 Sure thing! I'm always glad to hear good female vocals in Haevy Metal songs. It's pretty rare to find a Power Metal band that has a woman as a frontman (or maybe frontwoman)...
