Fantasy Speed metal. Very well written and with many symphonic overtones. I've been told that if Wagner had electric guitars, he probably would have written something like this.

Fantasy fans, authors, anyone who wants to get away from angst and bubble gum.

The opening instrumental track and the storyline woven throughout the CD.

The fact that I had to go to Korea to get the CD. But it was worth it. I found this first album was a bit experimental for the band, by the next one they had found their sound. THis one was still good, but not as good as later work.

Adapt it for a D&D game I was running.

Alive and in a world of wonder.

Is an amazing Italian band. Their first five albums are an interconnected epic work of fantasy.

I love literary music. The lyrics are intellegent and the music very appropriate to the theme and the story.

Again, the artwork is fantastic. Luca Turili, of Prophet of the Last Eclipse and Kings of the Nordic Twilight is the lead guitarist for Rhapsody. If you like this music, check his solo work out as well.
