About damn time they talked about this in this site, they take WAY TOO LONG to post any news about this, they did the same thing with The Eight Mountain, i hope they dont delete the news about the single i uploaded.

Anyway, the single sounds great and this will be yet another Turilli work of art.

Funny thing, I've read many people mocking Luca for using again another variation of the name Rhapsody, and he revealed in an interview that both him and Fabio wanted to ditch the Rhapsody name alltogether. The name of this album, Zero Gravity, was supposed to be the name of the band. Nuclear Blast didn't allowed them for supposed problems with marketing a new name and because Rhapsody was a much stronger trademark, even tho there are 4 now, 2 active and 2 inactive.

The interview is here if anyone is interested:


As for the two songs already released, Phoenix Rising is more likeable for my tastes, has more Rhapsody in it, as for D.N.A. is a good song with the amazing voice of Elize Ryd, but not really my cut of tea so to say. Certainly not Rhapsody. I honestly thnk Nuclear Blast made a mistake here, because songs like D.N.A. should have their place with a new band, new history, new goals, and not be "another Rhapsody".

I like to look at Rhapsody as a franchise, I think that's the easiest way to look at it without getting a headache of all the namings.
Apparently Luca Turilli's Rhapsody is now disbanded which makes this project Turilli's main Rhapsody.
Personal I find that funny since this project wasn't meant to bear the Rhapsody name, the album is bloody brilliant though 🤘

You have the pilot show which would be Thundercross (1993-1995), then you have the main show Rhapsody (1995-2006), then you have the sequal Rhapsody Of Fire (2006-2011).
Now we come to the attempted continuation of Rhapsody Of Fire (2011-2016) and of course the soft reboot Rhapsody Of Fire (2016-20??).
On the other hand we now have the reimagining of the show Luca Turilli's Rhapsody (2011-2018) and the remake or remastered if you like Rhapsody Reunion (2016-2018).
And last but not least the side story sett in the same universe Turilli/Lione Rhapsody (2018-20??).

Still on the first listenings and already in love for "Arcanum (Da Vinci's Enigma)", but I still think the band should have the new name Luca and Fabio wanted. It's not Rhapsody, tho it seems to be a brilliant work of art, like Turilli (almost) always does. Next days are dedicated to listen it non-stop.

The album is really really good and lots of stuff to like about it, but i cant help but feel that "something" is missing, is not a practically flawess work of art like the previous two albums, is a little little dissapointing, but still excellent. Looking forward to the review.

I've been listening to this gem a few times now and It's really enjoyable, It's still a solid 8 for me.
Despite the gibberish going on Turilli really knows how to create enjoyable high quality music and with Lione on board it definitely doesn't disappoint.
Despite some fans not liking the evermore departing of the old school Rhapsody sound I'd say this is the right way of taking things, for now at least.
Now..I'm still saddened we won't get a third one with Alessandro Conti but having him providing the backing vocals for this thing sure is a nice bonus.
And suprise suprise my favorite song is actually Oceano, and with Conti doing the backing I wouldn't mind them doing a whole album like that :O

Very enjoyable album indeed. I awaited it would be in a nearest approach to the LT's Rhapsody style, but I loved this new era of Luca.

Gibberish? The lyrics must be the best lyrics he ever made, awesome as usual.
And yeah i really hope we get a third album with Conti.

Funny thing the only thing I didn't like as much in the LT Rhapsody before was... Conti vocals. He is a great singer but I can't get used to that type of vocals. A kind of Prometheus and even Ascending to Infinity with Fabio Lione would blow my mind, but this new "incarnation" is sounding better and better at each listening.

Do apologies, should have clarified.
I was talking about the gibberish he spouts between album releases and not the content on this one.
When he talks about what's to come, projects etc. you can automatically assume 90% of it will be changed by the time it's released, Turilli is like a swiss watch, everything has to be beyond perfection even if it means changing everything.
Do you remember the EP that was supposed to come after Ascending To Infinity? No? Never happened.
Just on this project alone they have about 40 minutes of unused/unfinished material, that includes a 15-20min long song that was initially supposed to be on this record.

Especially because Luca MUST release the third part of Of Michael the Archangel and Lucifer's Fall

I can't believe I'm saying this, since not much under the Rhapsody name caught my attention past Power of the Dragonflame (maybe From Chaos to Eternity), and the ever replicating banner of theirs was laughable - but after repeated, spaced out listens, I think this record is much better than people give it credit for.

Lol, another Rhapsody, first time I hear about it. Say what you want, but I need power metal in my life, I really like clean vocals and melodic guitars. I tried many metal subgenres since 2001 when I first discovered metal, but I can always go back to power metal with which I started my journey besides Metallica, Iron Maiden and Nightwish of course.

I think since the split, Turilli released two forgettable albums with cool concepts but weak music. Original Rhapsody released good music, but not quite the great they used to. This is the best album since the split. Turilli seems to have focussed more on the music and not the whole cinematic concept. Excellent.

Edit: Imo the best album released under a Rhapsody name ever. So many insanely awesome choruses. Symphonies are great, songs are perfectly complex, guitar is excellent. Fabio's vocals are a bit breathy at times, but I love the two Queen moments, both 'Decoding the Multiverse' and 'I Am' have great 'Innuendo' moments in the middle.
My one issue is the lack of climax - 'I Am' should be the closer.
