About

Rhapsody of Fire (formerly known as Rhapsody) is an Italian symphonic power metal band formed in Trieste by guitarist Luca Turilli and keyboardist Alex Staropoli. The band is widely considered a pioneer of the symphonic power metal subgenre. Originally formed in 1993 as Thundercross, the band released albums under the moniker Rhapsody before changing their name to Rhapsody of Fire in 2006 due to trademark issues. The band is known for their fantasy concept albums for both the Emerald Sword Saga and the Dark Secret Saga.

In 2011, following the release of From Chaos to Eternity, which ended The Dark Secret Saga, founding guitarist Turilli left the band after 18 years. Long-term members Fabio Lione and Alex Holzwarth left the band in 2016. Staropoli continued the band and formed a new lineup with guitarist Roberto De Micheli, bassist Alessandro Sala, vocalist Giacomo Voli and drummer Paolo Marchesich, and began a concept album saga called the Nephilim's Empire Saga, with the albums The Eighth Mountain, Glory for Salvation and Challenge the Wind that were released in 2019, 2021 and 2024 respectively.

As of 2026, the band has released fourteen studio albums, two live albums, three EPs, and a live DVD.

Rhapsody of Fire est un groupe de power metal italien, originaire de Trieste. Le groupe se définit lui-même comme le fondateur du « Hollywood metal ». Initialement nommé Thundercross, puis Rhapsody, le groupe change définitivement de nom en 2006 pour Rhapsody of Fire. Leur musique se caractérise par une instrumentation « épique » privilégiant les envolées musicales aux accents tantôt guerriers, tantôt plus doux. Les textes des cinq premiers albums racontent une seule histoire, démarche qui va donc encore plus loin que celle de l'album-concept. Certains apprécieront la saga et suivront le groupe pour ses belles mélodies ; d'autres reprocheront au groupe d'aller trop loin dans le genre « épique », et de perdre sa créativité en restant dans un style.

Sur les trois premiers albums, la plupart des titres ont une structure de metal mélodique assez typée, rappelant Helloween ou Yngwie Malmsteen pour l'aspect néoclassique de la guitare et de certains arrangements, agrémentés de parties symphoniques. Ils comportent de longues parties instrumentales. L'ensemble est énergique, joyeux et accrocheur. Le style du groupe marque ensuite un revirement avec l'EP Rain of a thousand Flames dont le son est plus sombre. Ils se rapprochent peu à peu du son d'une musique de film, l'aboutissement actuel étant Symphony of Enchanted Lands II - The Dark Secret, où avec les moyens à leur disposition et la voix narrative de Christopher Lee, ils obtiennent un album inspiré et diversifié.
