Dans la rubrique "on se sépare quand d'autres se reforment" , Rhapsody Of Fire a décidé de se scinder en deux parties :
-Alex Staropoli continuera avec Fabio Lione, le chanteur sous le nom de Rhapsody Of Fire, Tom Hess à la guitare et Alex Holzwarth à la batterie
-Luca Turilli, pour sa part, s'associera également avec Alex Holzwarth, Dominique Leurquin et Patrice Guers sous le nom de Rhapsody
After 15 years of friendship, hard work and big passion, fully invested
in the creation of symphonic music and an epic saga that will remain in
the history of heavy metal, Alex Staropoli and Luca Turilli decided to
proceed to a friendly split.
“10 albums released and the end of the saga represent, musically and
lyrically, an important artistic goal finally reached, underlined by the
success of our last release “From Chaos To Eternity”, for which we want
to thank our wonderful fans once again. Now it came the time when new
artistic stimulations need to be found, in respect of both parts’
visions and perspectives and of our longtime friendship” say Luca and
Alex. Due to the latest legal agreements actually in force, Alex
Staropoli will go on with RHAPSODY OF FIRE having, between the others,
Fabio Lione as singer, Tom Hess as guitar player and Alex Holzwarth as
drummer. For the same agreements and the original name’s common
ownership, Luca Turilli will release his future works with a new
RHAPSODY band, including the faithful band members Dominique Leurquin,
Patrice Guers and Alex Holzwarth.
Alex says: “While wishing the best to Luca and his new band, I want to
tell you that Fabio and myself feel motivated and stronger than ever and
that RHAPSODY OF FIRE are already planning a great worldwide tour. More
information regarding the new bass player and the new second guitar
player will follow. Stay tuned!”
