    The one who suggested this song and this band is the real MVP. Rhapsody of Fire is one of the pioneers in symphonic metal (the album where comes this song was released in 1998), and Fabio Lione is one of the most versatile vocalists in metal. You could take a look on their other classic Dawn of Víctory or the wonderful The Magic of the wizard's Rhyme where they had the honour of receiving the only and one Sir Cristopher Lee as guest vocalist.

    Yay, Rhapsody. One of the older symphonic power metal bands. Many bands were able to create an album that can be tied together by a single theme or a narrativ, but not as many can do it over multiple albums - Rhapsody is one of those that can pull it off. The fantasy saga, this band came up with, spanned over five albums.
    You mentioned The Lord of the Rings and so I suppose you might have watched the movies. Do you remember Saruman? Well, he was played by Christopher Lee with his booming deep voice. You could say, he was the fan of this band and was actually featured on one of their albums. There is, actually, a music video in which Christopher Lee sings together with Fabio Lione (the singer whose voice you heard in this song) and they are surrounded by an orchestra.

    YAY! Thanks for doing this, I've always loved Rhapsody, one of the founders you could say of Symphonic metal. Technically, the intro is a separate song called "Epicus Furor", these two songs are the first two on the "Symphony of Enchanted Lands" album. Rhapsody, who later changed name to Rhapsody of Fire, often had an intro like this on their albums. They created two sagas in this LOTR inspired fantasy world they created, each spanning 4-5 albums. Sadly, they split in two halves 2012, one part remains as Rhapsody of Fire, the other became "Luca Turillis Rhapsody".
    All of their music is like this, very complex, very inspired by classical music (they even include snippets of classical pieces in some songs) and phenomenal vocal arrangements. Also on each album the final song tends to be a monumental song of over 10 minutes.
    Later in their career, they called their music "Cinematic metal", which is a very appropriate name for it I think!
    In my mind, Luca Turilli is a composer genius none the less than Tuomas Holopainen. Further suggestions would be "Unholy Warcry", or as stated already "Magic of the Wizards Dream" with Christopher Lee!
    Rhapsody of Fire released an album last year, and it is OK, but it does not have the quality of what they did before the split in 2012. There is only one of the original members left in that band and they do miss the touch that Luca Turilli added.

    This is the first reaction to Rhapsody i've ever seen! Wow! What a delightful reaction indeed 😍
    They've had so many great pieces composed - Legendary Tales, Symphony of Enchanted Lands, Dawn of Victory and Power of The Dragonflame are the first great albums come to my mind. You can always feel that Italian classical vibes in their tunes. Also King of The Nordic Twilight by the band's founder and guitarist Luca Turilli is an astonishing work that should be checked out. When it comes to symphonic power metal, Rhapsody is among the greatest bands of the genre 🤟

    I'm so glad that you experimented this! My comment arrives two years after this video was published, yet I'd like to tell you that the feeling that you are describing could be much more intense if you would follow the complete Saga composed by the five first albums of Rhapsody, in fact it is 'The Emerald Sword Saga'. This song is deeply enshrined in my heart and everytime I see a person like you reactioning for the first time and then speaking about it, it is like a blessing to see and hear! Much love to you, enjoy Rhapsody, it has been truly unique!

  • @rockntom72

    Hey Sabina. When I was in Australia in the Year 2000 this album was released 18 month before. Then I used a Minidisc Walkman and had the first two albums on repeat most of the day. especially "Emerald Sword" with all the Symphonic and Baroc background sound overlayed with power metal was mind blowing to me. As you say all the layers of music crashing down with such a speed! I still love it to this day.
    If you like to hear a Masterpiece in my opinion then listen to : Gargoyles Angels of Darkness from the Album "The Power Of The Dragonflame".
    Enjoy that spanish Vibe in the beginning. thank you so much for this reaction. brought back lots of memories.

    If you haven’t dived further into this band, I have some recommendations. While this song is hands down the best, Queen of the Dark Horizons is another epic piece you can enjoy without being confused by the plot of the saga.
    Their best album, by far, is Symphony of the Enchanted Lands 2. If you like the Hobbit then you’ll really enjoy that one since Christopher Lee (Saruman) provided a lot of narration for the album.

  • @luisnunes3863
    @luisnunes3863 2 роки тому +3

    How curious, just in the Blind Guardian reaction I left a sugestion for the live version in Montreal where singer Fabio Lione gives the crowd a vocal warm-up before this song. Rhapsody are an immensely impessive band, for the virtuosity, for the dedication it took to lay out a saga over 10 or eleven albums that make a narrative whole, the 20 minute gorgeous pieces that close the albums...
    Glad you liked Fabio Lione so much, Sabina. He's just as capable of singing something slow and sentimental, as in Il canto del vento. ua-cam.com/video/6NQ5rwwxxGY/v-deo.html
