AFM Records is proud to announce the signing of legendary Italian Symphonic Power Metal band RHAPSODY OF FIRE to a worldwide deal.
RHAPSODY OF FIRE’s signature sound, consisting of Power Metal, soundtrack-like elements and classical influences gave a new meaning to the word “epic” since the release of “Legendary Tales” in 1997 and was a formula that many bands tried to copy– but never came even close.
Commented the band:
"After playing the 'From Chaos To Eternity World Tour 2012' all around Europe, Canada, North America and Latin America, we became even more excited and motivated to continue building our career and creating new exciting music. So now we are finally proud to announce that RHAPSODY OF FIRE signed with a great label such as AFM. That's a new great epic start and we already started working on different projects. More news to follow".
Raskaat koskettimet Staropolilla kun noin on habaa tullut. Ei ole kyllä noilla uusilla kitaristeilla samanlaista vetovoimaa tai huumoriarvoa kuin Lucalla livehabituksessakaanJussi wrote:..& julkaisee näemmä livelevyn ensin, mitä hemmettiä, eikö biisejä synny?
Kuulostaapas kovin samalta kuin parhaalla levyllään aikoinaan.
Hieman hämyinen selitys erolle, mutta tuskinpa tuossa mitään valtavaa draamaa kuitenkaan on taustalla.Italian symphonic metallers RHAPSODY OF FIRE have "respectfully" parted ways with their American guitarist Tom Hess due to "philosophical differences." The band states: "RHAPSODY OF FIRE and Tom both sincerely wish each other the very best for their respective futures."
Ja toinen taas vetää ajatusta vähän pidemmälle:I guess he don't believe in dragons... so the kicked him out.

Hess is like a cross between Geoff Taint and Joey DeMaio from Manowar - who also ruined Rhapsody for a while: a deluded self-important idiot who thinks he's got bags of talent when in fact he's just a douche. I actually now have some hope of this version of Rhapsody making a great album.
When Hess joined the band they suddenly started charging for all sorts of things, like fan meets at gigs - something Rhapsody had always been happy to do for free, because they liked their fans. Any dissent against the band on their official forum was crushed by Tom (or should that be Rudolf?) Hess! Rhapsody also used to showcase footage from their gigs online and let youtube stream tracks from their DVDs quite happily; once Hess joined he went around DMCAing every vid of Rhapsody on youtube. Pathetic in every way. The guy was a typical, myopic, greedy American who thinks its smart or good business to just rip people off at every opportunity and that if you don't demand money for everything you do you're some kind of communist sap. What an idiot.
Luca Turilli's success with his friendly, non-money-grubbing band when compared with the trainwreck that has been RoF (I am a *HUGE* fan and I didn't even know they'd put out a live album!) proves that Hess's "business approach" to making music is even stupider and more deluded than DeMaio's was!
Philosophical differences = polite way of saying he was a greedy twat who saw Rhapsody as an opportunity to fleece people and earn money a hack like him didn't deserve off the back of a great, unique band. He even looks like Geoff Taint!
Italian symphonic metallers RHAPSODY OF FIRE will release their new studio album, "Dark Wings Of Steel", on November 22 in Europe and December 3 in the USA via AFM Records. The CD was produced by keyboardist Alex Staropoli, with all songs composed by Staropoli and Manuel Staropoli, with assistance from Roby De Micheli. All lyrics were written by singer Fabio Lione. The effort features a full orchestra, a choir and real string instruments, as in the finest RHAPSODY OF FIRE tradition.
"Dark Wings Of Steel" will be released on CD, double vinyl and as a digipak. The digipak and vinyl versions will include a bonus track.
RHAPSODY OF FIRE in June "respectfully" parted ways with their American guitarist Tom Hess due to "philosophical differences."
Hessin kanssa Rhapsodyn foorumilla väännettyä tämä on kutakuinkin totta. Jos kritisoit 150 euron VIP-tikettejä olet vain kateellinen ettei sinulla ole varaa niihin ja niin edelleen. Ainoa asia jonka tämä pelle onnistui tekemään oli tuon foorumin hajottaminen.BattlE_magic wrote:

LTR-ATI ei pitänyt hyvä biisejä sisällään useankaan kuuntelukerran jälkeen.Jussi wrote:^ mikä vika oli LT Rhapsodyn Ascending To Infinityllä?
Sillä oli sentään tarttuvia biisejä. Tämä uusi ROF soi 3. kappaleessa, eikä vielä ole tullut vastaan kuin kovin tylsää pötköä. Näiden ensimmäistenhän pitäisi olla jo perinteen velvoittamana sitä iskevintä laatua! ...kyllä Luca ainakin sen puolen osaa edelleen paremmin!
Älytöntä paisuttelua vailla sisältöä. Laulajan ääni niin kaukana omasta maustani kuin mahdollista. Ei kerrassaan yhtään hyvää biisiä, Dante's Inferno ainoa jota yhtään jaksoi kuunnella. Kitarat täysin hautautuneita orkesteripauhuun.Jussi wrote:^ mikä vika oli LT Rhapsodyn Ascending To Infinityllä?
