1. Rhapsody is a Symphonic Power Metal band from Italy, that eventually split into Rhapsody of Fire and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody. They incorporate classical music, baroque and power metal styles. The classical influences include such composers as Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, Niccolò Paganini, and Antonin Dvořák. Their songs are also heavily influenced by power metal in general and their lyrics are fantasy-themed.
In 1997 Rhapsody released their debut album, Legendary Tales. Co-founders Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli created an epic sound with this first album. Although neo-classical metal had existed previously, Rhapsody incorporated classical music, baroque and heavy metal styles in a new sub-genre known as "Hollywood metal".
In the years that followed, Turilli and Staropoli, joined by Fabio Lione on vocals, developed this new sound with their albums Symphony of Enchanted Lands (1998), Dawn of Victory (2000), Rain of a Thousand Flames (2001), and Power of the Dragonflame (2002). They wrote pieces such as "Emerald Sword", drawing on Russian folklore and Celtic style elements and creating what was known as the "Emerald Sword Saga".
Turilli is the band's lyricist, as well as guitarist. His lyrics often refer to mystical lore from the medieval age and the heroic valor of those times, highlighting in particular the ever-lasting fight between good and evil. "Evil can be found everywhere," says Turilli. "But it will never win as long as there are enough good people who fight against it." While Turilli writes the lyrics and guitar riffs, the composition of the classical music is all Staropoli's doing.
Christopher Lee was involved in their last project, narrating part of the storyline. This album, labeled Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret, was a follow-up to the Emerald Sword Saga and was released in 2004.
The band produced a new single CD in 2005 labeled The Magic of the Wizard's Dream, featuring new versions of "The Magic of the Wizard's Dream", one of the more popular songs from their album Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret. The band had Lee sing backup vocals for Lione, because Lee felt that the narrator's part of being the Wizard King was not as good as it could be without him contributing his voice to at least one song. The song was reworked into four different languages, English, German, Italian, and French they also included both the original version of the song with a duet, and an orchestral version of the song, both in English. This also produced Rhapsody's third music video. The band also released two new tracks exclusively on this single, "Autumn Twilight" and "Lo Specchio D’Argento". This single was released March 29th.
In July of 2006, the band changed their name to Rhapsody of Fire due to a conflict in copyrights.
2. Rhapsody is a reggae band from Germany who released two albums in the 1980s. One of the band members was B.B. Connell.
3. Rhapsody is a girl group from Austria who had a minor hit in the 1990s called Cowboy Lover.
4. Rhapsody is an AOR from band Sweden who released one album in 1978 called Strange Vibrations.
5. Rhapsody is a funk metal band from Estonia who released only one demo in 1992 before they split up. In 2008 they made a comeback and are going to release their first album in the future.
Holy Thunderforce
Rhapsody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glory, pride and bloodshed
Cowards and beholders, rapers of my wisdom
Mix of dust and bones
Go back to your abyss, Algalord will not fall
But your heads will soon roll
Test the blade of heroes, fury of the thunder
Hit my golden shield
So we'll fight against the wind for the glory of the kings
To defeat the evil enemies
And we'll ride with our lord for the power and the throne
In the name of holy thunderforce
Arwald and Aresius with the nordic warrior
on their way to Hargor
Chaos and oblivion, turmoil and disorder
will have now their name
The last fallen heroes will defeat your forces
Thousand spirits calling
On the furthest mountain I will see your fire
quenched by holy frost!
So we'll fight against the wind for the glory of the kings
To defeat the evil enemies
And we'll ride with our lord for the power and the throne
In the name of holy thunderforce
Face me evil bastard, smell the hate of angels
Glory, pride and bloodshed
Cowards and beholders, rapers of my wisdom
mix of dust and bones
Go back to your abyss, Algalord will not fall
but your heads will soon roll
Test the blade of heroes, fury of the thunder
hit my golden shield
So we'll fight against the wind for the glory of the kings
To defeat the evil enemies
And we'll ride with our lord for the power and the throne
In the name of holy thunderforce
So we'll fight against the wind for the glory of the kings
To defeat the evil enemies
And we'll ride with our lord for the power and the throne
In the name of holy thunderforce
So we'll fight against the wind for the glory of the kings
To defeat the evil enemies
And we'll ride with our lord for the power and the throne
In the name of holy thunderforce
The lyrics of "Holy Thunderforce" by Rhapsody depict a battle between good and evil, with the singer fighting against dark forces that threaten to destroy their kingdom. The opening lines indicate that the evil forces are powerful and have the backing of angels who have turned to hate. The singer is determined to fight against them with all he has, even though he knows it will be a difficult battle. He calls on his fellow warriors to join him, to test their blades against the enemy's fury, and to protect their kingdom.
The lyrics mention specific characters, including Arwald and Aresius, who are Nordic warriors. These heroes and the spirits of fallen warriors are called upon to help defeat the enemy forces. The singer acknowledges that chaos and disorder are rampant, but he is confident that their holy thunderforce will reign supreme. He repeatedly calls out to the enemy to go back to their abyss and to feel their fury.
Overall, the lyrics are very epic and evoke images of a fantasy world in which knights battle against evil creatures. The themes of power, glory, and loyalty to one's kingdom are prominent, and the use of heroic characters underscores the battle's importance. The singer is determined to fight until the end and defeat the enemy, even if it means sacrificing their own life.

The previous fallen champions will emerge victorious against your army
Thousand spirits calling
Many ethereal beings beckoning
On the furthest mountain I will see your fire
From the distant summit, I will observe the flames you ignite
quenched by holy frost!
Extinguished through the power of divine coldness
