For the past nine years, or to be more precise, since the opening notes of their sensational debut album, Legendary Tales, RHAPSODY have been one of the most unusual phenomena of the current metal scene. The band's core members, guitarist Luca Turilli and keyboarder Alex Staropoli, have reached yet another zenith in their creative journey with the new album Triumph Or Agony. Due to copyright and trademark issues the band formerly known as Rhapsody has changed it's name to Rhapsody of Fire. The band members consider this a great new start, reflecting the emboldened and increasingly grandiose direction that their music has taken. The power of the dragon flame will burn brighter than ever before, says guitarist/songwriter Luca Turilli. Keyboardist/songwriter Alex Staropoli adds, the name Rhapsody of Fire better represents the energy that has always been present in this band and it's music.
