Listen to "Land of Immortals" "Unholy warcry" "Emerald Sword"
Also get "Black Dragon" from Luca Turilli, Rhapsody's guitar player.

I bought the latest Rhapsody album just for curiosity's sake ( I don't really listen to Power metal that much) and I think It fucking sucks! There is near 60% of epic, speeches, ambience parts and about only 40% of metal parts. It's not badly played, it is actualy very well done, but it's just boring.
The best Power Metal I heard recently is for sure Sonata Arctica and also a 1998 album from Labyrinth, called Return To Heaven Denied, which is a great album. Fast, non-gayish vocals and superb musicianship.
Sorry for going a bit off-topic though.

What? You totally missed the whole point! that's the essences of the album, to create background which a lot of albums lack of. It's like a story they tell you almost.

I agree. That album is also quite unique and progressive in some parts, Labyrinth is the only band out of that Italian "flower metal" ilk that's worth a damn. Well, in 1998 they were at least.

Noone will rip tracks for you but, hey, it's the Internet and I bet there are some songs posted on the band site and/or the label site.
FYI I thought the newest album was quite excellent!

Cool band in the studio, but they're messy live imo. Drummer can't handle the really fast double bass beats for long periods. Guitarist is great, though the whole band is a little "posy" on stage for my liking. I absolutely love Holy Thunderforce, Rage of the Winter and Eternal Glory. Thought last 2 albums were treading same ground. The Luca Turilli solo stuff is damn good too, but I guess its too similar to Rhapsody's own material at times. War of the Universe, Demonheart and the epic Prophet of the last eclipse are killer tunes to these ears.

I do respect them since I think they are very unique, but uniqueness is not always a good thing if you know what I mean,

Yes, that album is amazing! But I never heard the other stuff. Besides, I heard their newest album is a pile of shit! Mixing progressive with nu-metal (??). But you know, taste is like butts, everyone has one, so one should listen to it and have a personal opinion and not rely on what others say.

.... and he never did.
Anyone, I'm bumping this because I want to see if anyone has an opinion on Rhapsody (of Fire). Two years ago I would have laughed at my future self if I ever sat around listening to this bollocks, but ever since I got back into fantasy books I thought I'd give the music a try.
I find Rhapsody of Fire generally very entertaining. And Luca Turilli's Rhapsody's 'Prometheus' album that came out this year is simply amazing and only a tiny bit comedic compared to the earlier material.
Thoughts? Experiences? Laughs?

I only heard Emerald Sword of theirs and it had some nice guitar parts but that's all. Not my cup of tea.

I remember Luca Turilli - King of the Nordic Twilight being kinda ridiculous and fun but Rhapsody and their ilk don't do much for me. Give me sword and sorcery traditional heavy metal over it, forever.
