Rhapsody of Fire to Announce "Triumph or Agony"

[Hajeka]

Taken from the official Rhapsody Of Fire website.

For the past nine years or, to be more precise, since the opening tones of their sensational debut album, Legendary Tales, RHAPSODY have been one of the most unusual phenomena of the current metal scene. The huge range of their creativity, the number of legendary compositions that the Italian band, with their primary members guitarist Luca Turilli and keyboarder Alex Staropoli, have released so far reached now the climax with the new album "Triumph or Agony" .

A new tour is planned and a new album is on the way, Rhapsody Of Fire will continue to explore musical fantasy worlds with the precision musicianship and unique symphonic concepts that their fans have come to expect and adore. Fresh on the heels of the band's first live album release, Live In Canada 2005 - The Dark Secret, a new name and renewed vigor ensure that Rhapsody Of Fire still hold the passion and power that have always been associated with their music.

Cool album cover, though very different from their previous ones.

I was able to get into RHAPSODY when they first arrived on the scene...but after the second album, I got really bored with them. Great musicians, just not my thing...

 

[Rider of Theli]

that cover is unmistakably Jeff Easley - famous for so many book covers for the Dungeons & Dragons game through the late 80's and early 90's.

pretty cool.

I can't wait to hear this. Hopefully it'll be better than their last studio album. It had good tracks, but it was nothing special.

At first i loved Rhapsody, but after a few albums they became ho-hum, they all sounded exactly alike, so if you had one or two albumns you basically had them all. Now don't get me wrong they are excellent musicians and all, but their music just doesn't provide me with any OH WOW LISTEN TO THAT anymore. Just my two cents worth.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Love 'em to fucking death!!!

Rhapsody is right up my alley. I understand it does not appeal to all and has the cheese factor, but I just love them. They blew me away when I saw them live last year. I have mad respect for these guys. They also seem to be really nice guys. Thye took time to meet with us and sign things and take pics with us. I can't wait to hear the new album.

If they play ATL, I'm there! They won me over last summer!

BEAUTIFUL. What way to break in the 2 added on words to your titled legacy then to drop what has the potential to be the greatest RHAPSODY STORY EVERY CONCIEVED. Just look at it!!! Triumph? Agony? I surely doubt the latter! ALL HAIL RHAPSODY OF FIRE!

Is the guy in the cover the one from "The Time of the Oath" album?

 

[AngraRULES]

LOL I think I've seen him on a Blind Guardian cover too! lol
