With these four members, the band started recording their debut album, Legendary Tales, which was released in 1997. Album debut: Legendary Tales and Symphony of Enchanted Lands (1997–2000) Former vocalist of Labyrinth and Athena Fabio Lione joined Rhapsody afterwards. Shortly after the release of Eternal Glory, Adacher and bassist Furlan left the band. At this time they also changed their name to Rhapsody. Īfter accepting a proposal from Limb Music Products & Publishing, the band started recording their second demo, Eternal Glory. During this period of time, they went through a few bassist changes in their lineup. In 1994, Thundercross released their first demo, Land of Immortals, with vocalist Cristiano Adacher. Turilli has said in interviews that both Thundercross and the early Rhapsody material were heavily influenced by Helloween, Crimson Glory and Manowar's style of heavy metal, and that Yngwie Malmsteen and Jason Becker were a big influence from a guitar playing perspective. Power metal band Thundercross was formed in 1993 by Luca Turilli, Alex Staropoli, and Daniele Carbonera. History Early years as Thundercross (1993–1997) 1.7 The Nephilim's Empire Saga (2018–present).1.6 Continued line-up changes, parallel farewell tour (2012–2017).1.5 Final albums with Turilli, end of The Dark Secret Saga split in two bands (2009–2011). 1.4 Beginning of The Dark Secret Saga, name change and legal issues (2004–2008).1.3 Success and conclusion of The Emerald Sword Saga (2000–2004).1.2 Album debut: Legendary Tales and Symphony of Enchanted Lands (1997–2000).In 2016, other long-term members Fabio Lione and Alex Holzwarth had left the band, and reunited with Turilli, Leurquin and Guers, to play again under the name Rhapsody for their 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour in December 2018, several months after announcing that Luca Turilli's Rhapsody was now inactive, Turilli announced the creation of a new Rhapsody band named Turilli / Lione Rhapsody, with the lineup of the 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour (recreating, minus Staropoli, the original band's 2002–2011 lineup). They describe their discography as a parallel continuation of Rhapsody of Fire's discography, with their first album being their own "Rhapsody's 11th album" and consider that they didn't leave the band, rather that it amicably split in two. In 2011, following the release of their album From Chaos to Eternity which concluded The Dark Secret Saga, and after 18 years as co-leader of the band, Turilli left Rhapsody of Fire (on good terms) to form a new Rhapsody band, Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, along with two other members who left with him, Dominique Leurquin, Patrice Guers. After using the moniker of Rhapsody for nearly ten years, the band changed their name to Rhapsody of Fire in 2006 due to trademark issues. Rhapsody of Fire is known for its conceptual lyrics that constitute a fantasy story throughout all of their albums from 1997 to 2011. Since forming in 1993 as Thundercross, the band has released twelve studio albums, two live albums, three EPs, and a Live DVD. In a world that is rapidly going to hell in a handcart, we desperately need some "good news".Rhapsody of Fire (formerly known as Rhapsody) is an Italian symphonic power metal band formed by Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli, widely seen as a pioneer of the symphonic power metal subgenre. It is also a well known fact that Lewis himself was a Christian and the Narnia stories are heavily allegorical in nature. The music however, like all my albums, is instrumental in nature and lends itself to the imagination of the listener. The second meaning is a reference to Susan, who in my own storyline of Tenebrae is the master archer, Canterbury Black. The next Book in the series is the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe where Narnia has become a winter world because of the magic of the evil Queen Jadis. The first, is that it is a reference to the constellation of Orion the archer who is the herald of winter. The final track Tenebrae- The Sign of the Archer might need a brief word. The title of the album comes from the book "The Magicians Nephew". This is the first of seven albums I have planned to release inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis.
