REVIEW : Rhapsody Of Fire ---- The Eighth Mountain (AFM/Soulfood, Release Date : February 22, 2019)

Rhapsody Of Fire holds for sure a high 'position' on the Euro Symphonic and Melodic Power Metal community. A band that knows how to deliver strong, powerful and melodic power metal stuff that includes high tech and 'speedy' guitars, superb performances and most of all tight songs. Since the band's beginning (at the time still under the shorter moniker of Rhapsody), Rhapsody Of Fire delivered some really classic records such as Legendary Tales (1992), Symphony Of Enchanted Lands (1998) and Dawn Of Victory (2000).

REVIEW : SAILING TO NOWHERE -- “LOST IN TIME” (2017)

A couple of years back I reviewed a really interesting album that grabbed my attention at once. Sailing To Nowhere's debut release, "To The Unknown", was a damn fine slice of melodic power metal platter full of strong melodic lines, heavy riffs and solos, solid performances and a bunch of some killer songs that left me with a sweet impression.

REVIEW : Rhapsody Of Fire / Into The Legend (2016)

Italian symphonic power metal band of RHAPSODY OF FIRE started its career in the mid 90’s (releasing their first albums under the banner of “Rhapsody”). The debut ‘Legendary Tales’ (1997) made a huge impact on the scene and gained positive feedback. The band quickly build a strong reputation around its name and the first four records sold (combined way) over 1.000.000 copies and made Rhapsody Of Fire one of the most popular metal artists worldwide. Due to legal issues, the band had to be renamed from Rhapsody to RHAPSODY OF FIRE in 2003 but this had no effect on the creative output.

WIND ROSE / Wardens Of The West Wind (2015)

Wind Rose is back with its album number two, "Wardens Of The West Wind", that it's going to be released on February 2015. This Symphonic Melodic Power Metal act after receiving a very good feedback for its debut album, ‘Shadows Over Lothadruin’  in 2012, started working on a second album and the result will be presented on "Wardens Of The West Wind".
