Rhapsody changes band name

2006-07-14 by Thor | 15 Comments
Due to copyright and trademark issues the band formerly known as Rhapsody has changed its name to Rhapsody of Fire. The band members consider this a great new start, reflecting the emboldened and increasingly grandiose direction that their music has taken. “The power of the dragonflame will burn brighter than ever before,” says guitarist/songwriter Luca Turilli. Keyboardist/songwriter Alex Staropoli adds, “The name Rhapsody Of Fire better represents the energy that has always been present in this band and its music.”

With a new record company in Magic Circle Music, a new tour planned and a new album on the way, Rhapsody Of Fire will continue to explore musical fantasy worlds with the precision musicianship and unique symphonic concepts that their fans have come to expect and adore. Fresh on the heels of the band’s first live album release, Live In Canada 2005 - The Dark Secret, a new name and renewed vigor ensure that Rhapsody Of Fire still hold the passion and power that have always been associated with their music.

I love rhapsody but that isn't a good name. The fire part just makes them sound too gay. But they'll always be rhapsody to me.

As if they couldn't get any cheesier...man, I thought having Christopher Lee as a guest narrator on an album was enough. But now this happens.

Eh, it goes well with the band. Now all they need to do is employ flying dragons on a stage show and they'll be set.

How can they take themselves so seriously? The only thing more retarded tha this is the blak metal murderer Varg vikernes or as he likes to call himself "count Grisnach". Both of these are pure examples of the laughably pathetic.

Why couldn't they just do what Bush did... rename your band Rhapsody X and make the 'X' essentially non-existant? Damn... I'm a huge fan of power metal... but... guh.. gay.
