Rhapsody

Dawn Of Victory

The masters of symphonic epic metal strike once more

Review Score:

(10/10)
First of all I'd like to say that I read all the reviews to this album and many people gave it less than 5 stars with excuses like: "the lyrics are cheesy, the singer mispronounces some words, it sounds the same as the last album".
Well to those who are not satisfied with the lyrics, when you bought this album and saw the album cover and the song titles, what did you expect?! The album cover just screams Fantasy Metal and with that you get fantasy lyrics.
About the singer, the guy is Italian! and I only cought him mispronounce two or tree words... I can't believe it really bugs you to the extent of lowering the album's rating. The singer is one of the best Euro Metal singers I heard. He has a very powerful voice and a wide range.
And to those who complain about Rhapsody not trying something different, there is a saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it. This album stays in the same style as the previous one, but it doesn't mean it sounds the same. This album is actually faster and a little more aggressive.
Give Rhapsody credit, they managed to put out three phenomenal albums in a row. Very few bands did that or able to do it. The pair of Luca Turilli (guitar) and Alex Staropoli (keyboards) is one of the best and most underrated song writers in music today in my view.
In conclusion , this album is flawless, there is no filler, all the songs are great and very powerful and uplifting and it deserves nothing but 5 stars.
