Lengthy and involved the tune adopts a classical guise with choral vocals and that cinematic ethos this band has always managed to do without any real competitors as such. As with all Rhapsody albums this latest opus starts with a bombastic intro piece titled “In Principio”. This is the second release in the post Luca years for Rhapsody Of Fire as 2013’s “Dark Wings Of Steel” was a tremendous album on all fronts. As a band I’ve followed from the 90s I’ve seen the band release successfully spectacular albums over almost 20 years and when the amicable dissolution occurred with Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli about five years ago it came as a sucker punch to me personally but in the end the split has given rise to two versions of the cinematic metal concept fronted by the respected parties of Luca and Alex. I was aware of this latest effort from Rhapsody Of Fire well before it came up for review and pre-ordered the geeky dragon statue version of the release plus a coloured vinyl to placate my vinyl addiction some time ago.
