‘ Dark Wings of Steel‘ seemed uncoordinated and rushed, and really just sounded like a dire attempt for other key songwriter Alex Staropoli to say, ‘I can do it! Wait, I can do it!’. After the split with founding member Luca Turilli however, things just didn’t seem to pan out. We think of the classics of ‘ Symphony of Enchanted Lands‘ and ‘ Power of the Dragonflame‘, that took the concept of European power metal to an astral level. When we think of Rhapsody of Fire we more often than not think of the days of old when the band were just called Rhapsody, and they weren’t in any legal messes or had to prove anything to anyone. 3 years on Rhapsody of Fire are giving it another go to revitalise the band with ‘ Into The Legend‘.ġ5th January 2016 The band have lost and gained members, lost the backing of a full orchestra and as a result their preceding effort ‘ Dark Wings of Steel‘ was lacklustre. It’s no secret that Rhapsody of Fire have struggled a bit musically since separating with prolific songwriter Luca Turilli, who branched off and made his own string of grandiose albums.
