Luca Turilli's Rhapsody

Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, often simply known as Rhapsody or, more recently, Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, is a symphonic power metal project led by Italian guitarist, composer, and producer Luca Turilli. Formed in 2011 after a split from Rhapsody of Fire – the band he originally co-founded – Turilli's iteration of the group carries forward the distinctive blend of epic melodies, classical influences, and fantastical themes that have come to define the band's sound and style. Known for masterful compositions, their music often features soaring vocals, complex guitar work, and cinematic orchestral arrangements, aligning closely with the subgenre often referred to as "film score metal" given its narrative-driven and soundtrack-like qualities.

Luca Turilli's Rhapsody has released several acclaimed works, including their ambitious full-length album "Ascending to Infinity" in 2012, which set the stage for their identification as a unique powerhouse in the symphonic metal scene. They followed up with "Prometheus - Symphonia Ignis Divinus" in 2015, which continued to explore themes of myth, legend, and philosophical contemplation, all set against a backdrop of rich orchestral landscapes and heavy riffs. Recognizing the evolutions in audio technology and experience, the band also produced "Prometheus: The Dolby Atmos Experience (Live)," an innovative release that offered listeners an immersive audio experience of their live performance. Additionally, they revisited and renewed past melodies with tracks like "Il cigno nero (reloaded)," showcasing their commitment to both artistic progression and reverence for the music's initial inspiration. Despite their relatively short tenure compared to Turilli’s original band, the impact of Luca Turilli’s Rhapsody on the metal genre has been significant, standing out as a testament to his enduring vision and compositional talent.
