After 15 years of friendship, hard work, passion fully<br>invested in the creation of symphonic music, and an epic<br>saga that will remain embedded in the history of heavy<br>metal, Rhapsody of Fire keyboard player Alex Staropoli and<br>guitarist/composer Luca Turilli have decided on an amicable<br>split.<br><br>The result is two new bands, including Rhapsody<br>AKA Luca Turilli s Rhapsody. For a band who have had so<br>many name changes throughout their fifteen year history,<br>this should come as no surprise to their fans. However, the<br>continued grace, power and symphonic supremacy found<br>on Ascending to Infinity is anything but expected. In addition<br>to Luca Turilli, this lineup includes vocalist Alessandro<br>Conti, guitarist Dominique Leurquin, bassist Patrice Guers<br>and drummer Alex Holzwarth.<br><br>They continue to excel in a genre that is simultaneously<br>niche and burgeoning, and one that is gaining steam<br>Statewide, as we ve seen over the last five years power<br>metal sales. This album will be a welcome addition to any<br>true metal fan s collection, and a worthy new chapter in<br>Rhapsody s storied history.
