LUCA TURILLI’S RHAPSODY LAUNCH FIRST VIDEO TRAILER FOR UPCOMING PROMETHEUS, SYMPHONIA IGNIS DIVINUS ALBUM

The creators of cinematic metal are finally back with their most outstanding record: Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus, which is set to be released on June 19th (Europe), June 22nd (UK), June 30th (North America) via Nuclear Blast Records.

Check out the first album trailer, that will give you a certain foretaste on this epic:



“The love for the cinema and the movie soundtracks is something clear and evident in each song of the album. The epic, cinematic impact of the music is something flowing in my blood and carved in my genetics”, commented Luca Turilli.

The album was composed and produced once again by Luca Turilli, responsible as always of all the orchestral and choral arrangements. It was recorded and mixed at the Backyard Studios of Sebastian Roeder (Bonfire a.o.) and mastered by Christoph Stickel (Michael Schenker’s Temple Of Rock) at MSM studios.

Seven months of composition, three months of production, over 50 days of mix, two choirs, several special guests, including Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Dan Lucas (Karo) and David Readman (Pink Cream 69). Including 70 minutes of epic music, sounding cinematic, bombastic and dramatic as never before, the new Rhapsody masterwork will lead the listener to an emotional and memorable journey between quantum gates, parallel dimensions, myths and legends hiding cosmic truths, ancestral secrets and spiritual revelations.

And this time it was not enough for the band to simply sound cinematic. It came the time for Rhapsody to finally “look” cinematic too. Therefore, the new cover artwork and the album booklet, introducing the new cinematic graphic style of the band, were realized by the well-known amazing artist named Stefan “Heile” Heilemann (Epica, Lindemann).

The first single, entitled “Rosenkreuz (The Rose And The Cross)” will be released on April 24th.

The digipak version of the album will include the cinematic version of “Thundersteel”, the famous song from Riot, performed by the Rhapsody singer Alessandro Conti in duet with Ralf Scheepers.

I loved the first one from Luca since the split but I just wish he pushed the guitars right up front in the mix. But I doubt he will do that as he loves orchestral cinematic music too much so there will be a lot of that up front as the teaser might suggest. Still marvel at his ambition though. Maybe he's even too ambitious for his own good. Somebody needs to just give him a Hollywood blockbuster to score so he can go to town on that and get it out of his system. The thing with Luca is he's fixated with the cinema and he's probably using guitars in the band as just another instrument and not as the backbone of the songs. It just dilutes the metal sound a bit too much. He also needs to work on the vocal melodies with his singer a bit more to make them more memorable. I still have very high hopes for this new one though. I was actually very disappointed in Rhapsody of Fire's disk and preferred Luca's first one so I hope I can say I will like this one more still. We shall see.
 
LUCA TURILLI'S RHAPSODY TO MAKE MUSIC HISTORY BY RELEASING THEIR LATEST STUDIO ALBUM REMIXED IN DOLBY ATMOS PLUS TWO LIVE CDS

"...The latest album from Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus, was chosen to be the first studio album in music history to be remixed in Dolby Atmos. Renowned producer/mixing engineer Chris Heil (Scorpions, David Bowi) mixed the entire masterpiece in Dolby Atmos - the mindblowing result will be submitted for the 2017 Grammy nominations. Prometheus, The Dolby Atmos Experience + Cinematic And Live will be released December 9th via Nuclear Blast....

... This unique package will be completed by two brand-new live CDs, which were produced by Luca Turilli and Alex Landenburg, mixed by Christian "Moschus" Moos at Spacelab Studio (Grefrath, Germany) and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio (San Marino).

"Cinematic And Live is the first live product to be released by my Luca Turilli's Rhapsody band and represents the live album I always dreamed of. It was recorded in Italy, France, Germany and Spain in 2012 and 2016 and it almost includes all the songs played by Luca Turilli's Rhapsody until now. We recently played our show number 100 and this important release represents the perfect celebration for these last years of live activity around the world. Cinematic And Live features songs from both the »Ascending To Infinity« and the »Prometheus« cinematic tours and it includes over 120 minutes of Rhapsody music: the newest songs, the old classics and some titles from my solo discography, too. The mix of Christian "Moschus" Moos and the mastering of Simone Mularoni were the cherry on the cake for this live album sounding really powerful, soulful and emotional like no others, with the important live atmosphere adding a new and exciting dimension to Luca Turilli's Rhapsody's cinematic music!..."
