Rhapsody Ég veit ekki hvort hafi komið grein eða bara eitthvað um þessa hljómsveit en þá finnst mér kominn tími til.

Byrja á því að vitna aðeins úr www.wikipedia.org

In 1997 Rhapsody released their debut album, Legendary Tales. Co-founders Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli created an epic sound with this first album. Although neo-classical metal had existed previously, Rhapsody incorporated classical music, baroque and heavy metal styles in a new sub-genre known as “Hollywood metal”. The classical influences include such composers as Vivaldi, Bach and Paganini. The band also shows power metal influences and fantasy themes.

In the years that followed, Turilli and Staropoli, joined by Fabio Lione on vocals, developed this new sound with their albums Symphony of Enchanted Lands (1998), Dawn of Victory (2000), Rain of a Thousand Flames (2001), and Power of the Dragonflame (2002). They wrote pieces such as “Emerald Sword”, drawing on Russian folklore and Celtic style elements and creating what was known as the “Emerald Sword Saga”.

Turilli is the band's lyricist, as well as guitarist. His lyrics often refer to mystical lore from the medieval age and the heroic valor of those times, highlighting in particular the everlasting fight between good and evil. “Evil can be found everywhere,” says Turilli. “But it will never win as long as there are enough good people who fight against it.” While Turilli writes the lyrics and guitar riffs, the composition of the classical music is all Staropoli's doing.

Christopher Lee was involved in their last project, narrating part of the storyline. This album, labeled Symphony of Enchanted Lands Ⅱ: The Dark Secret, was a follow-up to the Emerald Sword Saga and was released in 2004.

The band produced a new single CD in 2005 labeled The Magic of the Wizard's Dream, featuring new versions of “The Magic of the Wizard's Dream”, one of the more popular songs from their album Symphony of Enchanted Lands Ⅱ: The Dark Secret. The band had Lee sing backup vocals for Lione, because Lee felt that the narrator's part of being the Wizard King was not as good as it could be without him contributing his voice to at least one song. The song was reworked into four different languages, English, German, Italian, and French they also included both the original version of the song with a duet, and an orchestral version of the song, both in English. This also produced Rhapsody's third music video. The band also released two new tracks exclusively on this single, “Autumn Twilight” and “Lo Specchio D’Argento”. This single was released March 29th.

Ég hef hlustað mikið á þessa tónlist þar sem ég er mikil víkingur að anda og hef mikin áhuga á svona hlutum. Einnig af því þetta er bara snilldar hljómsveit! :)
Uppáhalds lagið mitt er ‘'The March of the Swordmaster’' af plötunni ‘'Power Of The Dragonflame’' og ég get gjörsamlega aldrei fengið leið á því. svo er líka ‘'Dawn of victory’'

Ég mæli eindregið með þessari hljómsveit!

Takk fyrir mig
