Italian symphonic/power-metal band noted for blending orchestral arrangements, choirs and fantasy-themed concept sagas (Emerald Sword, Dark Secret) with power-metal songwriting.

Key members frequently cited in reviews: Luca Turilli (guitar/composer), Alex Staropoli (keyboards), Fabio Lione (vocals). The band is often referenced under the name Rhapsody of Fire in later years.

DeBaser reviews portray Rhapsody as a leading Italian symphonic/power-metal act, praised for grand orchestration and epic songwriting. Symphony Of Enchanted Lands and Power Of The Dragonflame are frequently lauded as high points. Live performances are considered strong; the Rain Of A Thousand Flames EP receives mixed-to-negative reactions. Recurring themes: choirs, orchestras, fantasy sagas and virtuoso playing.

For:Fans of symphonic and power metal; listeners who like orchestral arrangements, fantasy-themed lyrics and virtuosic guitar/keyboards.

 "It was a good time for all creatures of the earth, but fate decreed that the dark prophecy of a demon knight could bring a tragic end to this peace scarring their lives forever."
