Rhapsody Of Fire Announces Their Next Album. There's a unicorn on the cover.

[OrbWeaver]

Sorry, all the spare rainbows are out doing double-duty.
In the sky!
Oh, what does it MEAN?!?!

THEY'RE STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A TRIPLE RAINBOW.

Is this their first full-length album to not feature a dragon on the cover?

 

[J. Golden]

Reading the press release they make it sound like it's going to be their last album, or at least their last fantasy-based album. I thought they said the same thing when Dragonflame came out.

Why not say the same thing in every press release, every album sounds the same. No I most correct that; the last made me think of what it most be like as a totally blind man watching Lord of the Rings.

Haha yes, they're completely remaking themselves.. Totally new direction..

I loved Baulders Gate on PS2 and Xbox.

Different game.

 

[Dominick_7]

Different game.

Ah my badios. Thanks for clarifying for me.

 

[TribunalRecords]

it's like once they got free from their Magic Circle Records contract they are unleashing all the music they kept hidden from them! it's impressive how much output they are cranking out.

I think we should all be asking why an angel needs to ride a unicorn. Seems like it would actually limit her mobility.

So has anyone picked the new CD up yet? I've had it for a few weeks and it is in constant rotation for me. I think maybe their best stuff since Dawn of Victory.

Thoughts?

Because unicorns are awesome? Shit, even if I had wings, I'd ride a gaddamn unicorn...

 

[AngraRULES]

Still need to spin this a bit more. I've had the album for a while now and for some reason, it hasn't clicked as their two releases from last year did. That being said, there's some strong material in this one as well.

Dude, Milton...

IT'S GOT A MOTHERFUCKIN' UNICORN. Your opinion is automagically invalidated.

This album cover got the attention of L.A. Weekly, who ran a 10 best awesomely cheesy power metal covers feature.

Oh, of course. I meant that aside from the obvious display of cheeseawesomeness that they pulled.

I think if I ever went solo, I'd make it my mission to make that list.

EDIT: Just realized, I own nearly all of these albums. Will now go out of my way to buy the rest.

A worthy goal.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

A worthy goal.

"Nina's 1st solo album, 'The Blackening Night of Eternal Deepened Darkness', features a horde of demons leading dragons into an abyss that seems to resemble a gigantic lava spewing anus, as wizards on unicorns fly overhead."

Interesting list. While some of them deserve to be there, I wouldn't consider all of these to be the absolute cheesiest. Insanity and Genius I wouldn't say cheesy necessarily, or at least not compared to a lot of others. I'm truly surprised a Helloween album did not make that list.

There are a ton of albums that could have made that list, but the fact that the list exists in the first place in a relatively mainstream publication is cool enough.
