If you like those crazy Lord of the Rings music, you will love Rhapsody (from Italy). These guys are hardcore when it comes to symphonic and epic metal. This release is a taste for the album coming out in September.
The production is just amazing. This is THE best production I've heard when it comes to metal+orchestra+choir. The others I've heard usually suffer from some compression or other instruments get lost in the mix. But not Rhapsody. I've been very impressed with all their recordings.
What you'll hear is the band playing together with an 80 piece orchestra and a 40 piece choir. AMAZING!!!! Really makes you feel like you took a time machine and went back to the dark times or "middle earth". There's so much diversity in the music and you'll hear parts taken from some famous classical music. I just can't get enough of Rhapsody.
Now for all you LotR fans. Christopher Lee (the guy from The Lord of the Rings) is on the CD doing all the great narrating in certain parts of the songs. His voice sounds super and really brings out the atmosphere.
This limited edition release also includes a bonus DVD with interviews with the band and Mr. Lee, a short film, music video and a 5.1mix of one of their song.
This is by far Rhapsody's BEST effort.
Now here's the cover with Christopher Lee on it.
