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.
Knightrider of Doom
Rhapsody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it's here in the cold air the town's tragic fear
The breath of infernos the rise of the dead
the Portals of Chaos the seventh black flame
(ride) Destino (knight) mi arrendo
... al tuo dominio del tempo!
I will wash my soul
to call the spirit of vengeance
to deny my wisdom for anger
to break the scream of the silent fool
and to be the son of doom
In this bloody dawn
I will wash my soul
to call the spirit of vengeance
to deny my wisdom for anger
to break the scream of the silent fool
to be a knightrider of doom
The rites of the unborn the dragonship's fall
the waves of my ocean the twins' holy call
The march of the heroes the call of the gods
after the rituals on the silent shore
(ride) Destino (knight) mi arrendo
... al tuo dominio del tempo!
In this bloody dawn
I will wash my soul
to call the spirit of vengeance
to deny my wisdom for anger
to break the scream of the silent fool
and to be the son of doom
In this bloody dawn
I will wash my soul
to call the spirit of vengeance
to deny my wisdom for anger
to break the scream of the silent fool
to be a knightrider of doom
The lyrics to Rhapsody's song "Knightrider of Doom" paint a picture of a dark and dangerous world filled with chaos, destruction, and death. The sirens' grey tears and the town's tragic fear suggest a mournful and foreboding atmosphere. The breath of infernos and rise of the dead signify destruction and chaos. The Portals of Chaos and seventh black flame suggest a world that is beyond redemption and control.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's surrender to fate and acknowledges the power of time. The lyrics "Destino mi arrendo... al tuo dominio del tempo!" roughly translate to "Destiny, I surrender... to your domain of time!" This shows that the singer has accepted their fate and is willing to ride out the chaos and destruction that surrounds them.
The second half of the song sees the singer washing their soul in the bloody dawn, calling forth the spirit of vengeance and denying their wisdom for anger. They are determined to break the scream of the silent fool and become a knightrider of doom. This suggests that the singer is taking their fate into their own hands and is determined to fight back against the chaos surrounding them.
Overall, the lyrics to "Knightrider of Doom" are powerful and poetic, painting a vivid picture of a world consumed by destruction and chaos.

@luisleon7941
Un nuevo respiro para esta gran banda!!
@Bulldosaur
Giacomo fits thsi song way more than the last two singles (even though they were awesome anyway!) and I'm very impressed of Roby's and Manu's work in this song. Well played, still different than the old one (but a nice difference) and with better sound quality! With those three singles, I am now convinced to buy the album.
Great job to all the band members! I already can't wait to hear new original songs from you.
LONG LIVE RHAPSODY OF FIRE!
@omgman8663
I think this is a great idea, especially if you're going to see them live and you want to get used to the new singer singing the older songs.
