RHAPSODY OF FIRE - From Chaos To Eternity (17 juin)

Un nouvel album de Rhapsody, oui oui, déjà.

“From Chaos To Eternity” is the title of the new RHAPSODY OF FIRE’s full length album, that will be released in Spring 2011 through Nuclear Blast at a worldwide level. The 10th studio album of the Italian power metal act will be a new musical masterpiece. Described by the band as the natural evolution of the monumental chartbreaker of 2010 “The Frozen Tears Of Angels”, the new album will represent an important goal in the history of RHAPSODY OF FIRE, as it will be the last one based in the fantasy saga started in 1997 with the debut album “Legendary Tales”.

As usual Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli will be the producers of the new work. But for the first time, part of such a production (vocals and guitar recordings) was and will be mostly based in Trieste, the Italian hometown of the two founders. The recordings of bass and drums already took place in Wolfsburg at “The Gate Studio” under the wise supervision of their longtime friend Sascha Paeth (AVANTASIA, ANGRA and more).

Luca says: “We are really proud to reveal to the whole world that the production of our new full length album is at a very good point already. Lyrically it has a particular meaning for all of us, as with the 5th and final chapter of the “Dark Secret saga” our band will close its fantasy cycle started 13 years ago. The dark secret will finally reveal itself and for the last time Sir Christopher Lee will give his unique and fundamental contribution to our work. Musically expect something really special out of the ten album titles. A song like “Ghosts Of Forgotten Worlds” with its rageous and hypnotic guitar riff, will make you breath the dusty atmospheres of the southern ghostlands. “Aeons Of Raging Darkness” is pure melodic chaos translated into music, “Tornado” the greatest technical challenge for each single bandmember and “Tempesta Di Fuoco”, the first speed track completely sung in Italian language. For my song “Fantasia Gotica” I wrote and finalized the cinematic orchestral arrangements inspired by the visionary genius of Tim Burton, while “The Splendour Of Angels’s Glory (A Final Revelation)” is Alex’s choral and majestic track for the perfect finale of the dark secret saga. Our bass player Patrice Guers and our drummer Alex Holzwarth did their best job so far in a RHAPSODY OF FIRE album. One more word is needed to underline the excellent performance of our singer: in this new release, Fabio Lione will present himself definitely as one of the best and most versatile singers, being able to pass with unique ability and talent from the most aggressive vocals, to clean angelic voices and powerful operatic parts. Once more you are going to be really surprised.”

Alex Staropoli adds: “As always the cinematic elements that defined our style will enrich each track, but the guitar work will be again very important too. What is sure is, that for such an album Luca and I composed our best solos ever!”

“From Chaos To Eternity” will be released in spring 2011, in a jewelcase standard edition of 24 pages, and in an exclusive limited edition of 48 pages, full of great and unique surprises – as well as two bonus tracks, for a total of 65 minutes of RHAPSODY OF FIRE’s legendary music.

Stay tuned for further news!

Je m'étais dis que j'écouterais quand même ce qu'ils ont fait après SOELII, mais à ce rythme-là, j'abdick.

Ils retrouvent leur productivité d'il y a 10 ans, les salauds. Mais ils ont plus le niveau... le dernier EP est lamentable.
Comme l'a dit Pisto, faut se faire à l'idée que Rhapso est fini.

Par contre, je suis titillé par ça :

jeepax

Ils ne se sont pas renouvelés sur le dernier album ni sur le EP qui a suivi, après pourtant un long break, il ne faut donc àmha rien espérer de ce nouvel album... Neutral

J'ai l'impression que le rythme de leurs sorties a surtout été perturbé par les problèmes qu'ils ont eu avec leur label.
Sans ça, je suis pas certain que cela aurait fléchi.

Quoi qu'il en soit, je pense que le groupe a dit ce qu'il avait à dire. Ce nouvel album sera vraisemblablement du même tonneau que les précédents, ni vraiment bon, ni vraiment mauvais, juste quelconque et banal.

Quant à la fin de leur saga-à-la-con, ça va juste leur permettre de se donner l'illusion de se renouveler en remplaçant les dragons et les épées par des pistolets lasers et des navettes spatiales (ou un truc du genre, on sait bien de quelle genre de culture s'abreuve Turilli...).

Avec une productivité pareille, ça ne peut pas vraiment être génial (surtout à l'écoute de leur dernier EP...)

Sans doute la plus belle pochette de toute leur discographie.
Bon, c'est pas forcément hyper difficile, mais comme on n'a plus tellement l'occasion de les complimenter...

Reste un groupe bien efficace, live.

Un deuxième gratteux arrive dans le groupe et un nouveau titre est dispo.

Tom Hess, the guitar virtuoso well known for his unique guitar skills and for being the creator of the famous online guitar courses, is now officially a member of Italian symphonic metal masters RHAPSODY OF FIRE. Tom recorded most of the rhythm-guitar parts and two guitar solos on the new RHAPSODY OF FIRE album, "From Chaos To Eternity", to be released on June 17 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Commented RHAPSODY OF FIRE's Alex Staropoli: "I saw Tom Hess playing on stage several times and always got impressed by his great stage presence and his way of playing. When I heard the rhythmic and the solo guitars he recorded for RHAPSODY OF FIRE, I was blown away, I could feel that strong presence in between every single note."

Added RHAPSODY OF FIRE's Luca Turilli: "I know Tom [for] many years. He is a great person, a good friend of mine and I am not surprised of the success he's having teaching his guitar techniques all around the world. I am really proud to have built a strong partnership with him and I will always thank him for the support he gave me when I decided to create my 'Neoclassical Revelation' guitar course. Therefore, I am really honored to present Tom to all the fans of RHAPSODY OF FIRE as I am sure he will be the one who, through his artistic talent and unique skills, will make the difference in this band for the years to come!"

A new RHAPSODY OF FIRE song, "Aeons Of Raging Darkness" — taken from the band's forthcoming album, "From Chaos To Eternity", is available. Luca says, "[This] song is dedicated to all the innocent people victims of the war, of the abuses, of those acts of violence that on a daily basis rape the soul of our wonderful planet." : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta_KhUa3O7Q
