Since the split of the original "Rhapsody" into two bands, both have been somewhat disappointing in their efforts so far. Rhapsody Of Fire produced a completely forgettable effort in Dark Wings Of Steel, whereas Luca Turilli's Rhapsody didn't do that much better with Ascending To Infinity. It is quite remarkable that we now have two bands, but neither can produce the magic of the original band. This trend continues with Prometheus: Symphonia Ignis Divinus, which succeeds as a "cinematic metal" album, but fails at being very memorable. Read more ›› |

Sounds like Ascending To Infinity, but with more care and time put into the production and songwriting. Also Alex 2# replaces Alex 1# with even more solid drumming. Very impressive!

Nice album!!! It is the "lighter" side of the band (Ascending was darker in its sound). Surely it will grow more with more listens. Even though it don't top the Prophet of the Last Eclipse.

Awesome new album. Better than the first one. May be it will be the favourite album of this year for me. Followed by the new album of Nightwish.

Why? Just why? It seems like every "big" Power Metal band releasing albums this year is taking a path that involves burying their music under ten layers of cheap symphonic arrangements, bad vocals and non existent bass guitars for the sake of "epicness". I feel kinda disappointed, because after all this years, I still expect that Luca Turilli will release an epic album in terms of musicianship, but he still prefers to give more weight to his mumbo-jumbo nonsensical crap about mystical quantum space and stuff instead of, you know, fucking Heavy Metal.

Cannot stop listening. Probably my favorite release of 2015. It helps I like big, pompous orchestral arrangements after Nigthwish underwhelmed me. Looking forward to Fleshgod Apocalypse - King next.
