In 2011, Rhapsody of Fire announced its friendly split into two Rhapsody bands: Alex Staropoli and Fabio Lione decided to go on as Rhapsody of Fire while Turilli, along with bassist Patrice Guers and session guitarist Dominique Leurquin decided to move on as Luca Turilli's Rhapsody.[1] The band's first line-up also included singer Alessandro Conti and Rhapsody of Fire drummer Alex Holzwarth, who was then a member of both bands. However, in 2012 Holzwarth left due to the impossibility to be fully in both bands, and was replaced by Alex Landenburg. Their first album, Ascending to Infinity, was released in 2012 and is referred to as their own "Rhapsody's 11th album". Their second and final album, Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus, was released in 2015.
From April 2017 to March 2018, Turilli, Leurquin, Guers, Holzwarth, and former Rhapsody of Fire vocalist Lione toured together for the 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour, playing the music of the original band; in June 2018, Turilli confirmed that the band was inactive, and the following December announced that the 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour lineup now formed a new band, named Turilli / Lione Rhapsody.
Dark Fate of Atlantis
Luca Turilli's Rhapsody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A new kingdom rose on water, a new golden age for all
Human minds or entities, sons of astral infinity
But for sure the great Poseidon found his people and his throne
Old world, to you we all belonged
Old world, the stars announced your fall
Monumental growth, breaking rules of history
The lost continent was legend, soon the legend became myth
Power, strenght, prosperity, once too close to divinity
Until water became fire and swallowed all its lore
Old world, the Icarus’ last fault
Old world, your fate lives on and on
Ignotum fatum
Dark mantis, dark fate of Atlantis
At the gates of a timeless dimension
Dwell the ghosts of a myth not forgotten
Kept by the sirens and their infinite cry
The one surviving the ocean’s might
Dark mantis, dark fate of Atlantis
At the gates of a timeless dimension
Dwell the ghosts of a myth not forgotten
Kept by the sea lords and their infinite force
The one surviving the Gods’ remorse
Vita e morte in quell’umana vis
Che vibra ed arde vivida nei secoli
Old world, to you we all belonged
Old world, the stars announced your fall
Ignotum fatum
Dark mantis, dark fate of Atlantis
At the gates of a timeless dimension
Dwell the ghosts of a myth not forgotten
Kept by the sirens and their infinite cry
The one surviving the ocean’s might
Dark mantis, dark fate of Atlantis
At the gates of a timeless dimension
Dwell the ghosts of a myth not forgotten
Kept by the sea lords and their infinite force
The one surviving the Gods’ remorse
Dark mantis, dark fate of Atlantis
The lyrics of Luca Turilli's Rhapsody's song Dark Fate of Atlantis tells the story of an ancient kingdom that rose to power and prosperity thousands of years ago at the limits of our world. This new golden age was found on water and was ruled by the great Poseidon, who was considered a god by the people. Despite being the sons of astral infinity, the kingdom of Atlantis broke the rules of history and grew monumentally. Their power, strength, and prosperity were so great that they were considered too close to divinity. However, their prosperity did not last as water became fire and swallowed all its lore.

It's amazing at 4:05 when he mix his head voice with his operatic technique. One of the best singers I've ever heard...
Armando Tudon
I missed Conti in Turilli's projet. I felt his voice was the perfect fit.
Thallium T
Now you have his voice in Twilight Force

No ma, la gente que se queja de Alessandro es porque neta no lo han escuchado en vivo, es un Dios, así literal te saca las lágrimas de lo perfecto que es.
Oscar Simón
Igual, la producción en los discos lo dejó un poquito enterrado.

+Jackie Mezh Torres A mi gusto le falta un poco de actitud. Es raro verlo mas dinamico ante la camara que ante el publico xD Y eso se refleja en su voz, a veces le falta un poco de emocion :c
Nathan Russo
Yo no entiendo que pasa con todos... pero es un temaso!! Me encanta este tema... en toda su composicion... es otra banda no mas eso es todo... los coros entre medio es genial y despues cuando alessandro canta lirico la rompe...!
Ivan Murador
No me termina de gustar mucho la mezcla de ese disco, digo el sonido general. En el siguiente quedo impecable. De todos modos la labor de Conti es notable, impecable. Aunque tengo entendido que en vivo no rinde tanto, le falta algo de potencia a su voz, al menos en unos cuantos videos que vi.

The singer's voice is beyond amazing! The choir gives me goosebumps! Overall rating... unreal!

Alessandro como um bom italiano já afirmou ter estudado canto lírico/ópera e nessa parte3:40 até 3:55 ele mostra isso. Músicas como tormento passione,notturno e Luna também mostram as técnicas. Lione que o indicou para esse projeto, quando Turilli disse que estava a procura de um Vocalista
