Description
LUCA TURILLI is the Italian guitar player and composer who in 1993, together with the keyboard player ALEX STAROPOLI, founded the symphonic metal band RHAPSODY. The band released their first album, 'Legendary Tales', in 1997 and quickly followed with their sophomore release, 'Symphony Of Enchanted Lands' one year later, establishing what became called "Hollywood Metal" at first and then some years later becoming known as "Film Score metal." Both genres were music based on the connection between the most epic and glorious power/speed metal of the late '80s with Luca and Alex's infinite passion for the cinema and the world of soundtracks.This was enriched by folk music influences, guitar playing of neo-classical inspiration and lyrics relating to the fantasy "sagas" created by Luca Turilli himself.In 2003, the band was forced to change their name to RHAPSODY OF FIRE because of reasons and that same year, they started an exclusive collaboration with Sir CHRISTOPHER LEE, as special guest and narrator for the "Dark Secret" saga.
After 15 years, 10 official albums, and more than 1.5 million copies sold worldwide, the cycle related with the fantasy sagas came to an end. In that same moment, Luca Turilli and Alex Staropoli decided to proceed with a friendly split and continue their artistic careers separately while both keeping the name RHAPSODY.Now the creator of CINEMATIC METAL is finally back with their most outstanding record to date: 'Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus'.The album was composed and produced once again by Luca Turilli, as always for all the orchestral and choral arrangements. It was recorded and mixed at the Backyard Studios of Sebastian Roeder (Bonfire) and mastered by Christoph Stickel (Michael Schenker's TEMPLE OF ROCK ) at MSM studios.
