Absolutely amazing

Review Score: (10/10)
Be prepared for one of the most amazing experiences you can encounter anywhere in recorded music. If you have any love for both hard rock and classical you should not hesitate to buy the 2 Rhapsody albums. Yes, I see the metal influence, especially with the fast and hard drumming, but the amazing feat is the way Rhapsody weaves the seemingly diverse elements of a medieval classical sound with thoroughly modern hard driving guitars and vocals. The result is a true wall of sound that lifts you up and never puts you down. And for those of us who like Gothic metal but dislike its preoccupation with death and evil, this group is positive in its message of truth seeking and love, the valiant quest to overcome evil. Indeed the theme is truly reminiscent of the Tolkien books and other fantasy novels. I know the seemingly strange combination of diverse elements may not work for everyone, but I urge you to at least try Rhapsody. You may be in for the musical treat of your life.
