Album Review

In 2011 RHAPSODY OF FIRE had splintered in two bands, one that still bears the name and one that we’re concerned about here: LUCA TURILLI’S RHAPSODY. It is an international ensemble centred on Luca Turilli’s vision of cinematic grandeur on the Symphonic Power Metal platform. Their first album in this incarnation was ‘Ascending to Infinity’ in 2012 and now their sophomore LP is about to follow, entitled as ‘Prometheus – Symphonia Ignis Divinus’. Judging from the artwork it celebrates not Prometheus of the ancient legend as much a as a futuristic implant of the legend. A second coming of Prometheus, if you like and with one song bearing title of ‘One Ring To Rule Them All’ also one laced with a dose of Tolkien. It’s a Metal musical with epic zest and not just epic Metal that sweeps you in its whirlwind. There’s actually no point taking this album point by point because of it. Is it good? Yes, it is. Is it mind-blowing? Well, no, but it’s still great. It has beautiful, tender moments, duets, passages you’d want to join in... and so on. Let’s just enjoy it!
