3.0 out of 5 stars Mostly recommended for fans only, April 6, 2002

By	"annihellator" (La Pocatière, Québec Canada) - See all my reviews

The fourth album by one of the most popular metal bands on the planet today. This album is not part of the Emerald Sword saga that has been ongoing in the 3 previous albums and will conclude in the next one. Being an album apart from their others, Rhapsody took this opportunity to experiment a little, resulting in very varied styles of songs. Among the 7 tracks on this album you have 2 that are +10 minutes epic hymns, while 2 others are instrumentals under 2 minutes long. The title track unleashes with a blast of speed and energy, while the song "Tears Of A Dying Angel" is somewhat of apocalyptic-feeling, with latin chants and heavy narration. The highlights of this cd would be "Elnor's Magic Valley", a quite fun violin and flutes piece that has a definite "medieval party" feel to it, but unfortunately a too short track; and "Queen of the Dark Horizons", which has all the epic greatness you can expect from a 13 minutes track by an european power metal band.

The overall result would be something perhaps too complex or bizarre for just anyone to apreciate. If you're already a fan of Rhapsody, then you most probably alredy own this album. If you're not, I don't think you'll get into this album. But if you don't know Rhapsody I URGE you to check out "Symphony Of Enchanted Lands", their second album wich is an absolute masterpiece, a classic, a gift sent from heaven... I'm still to find someone (metal fan or not!) who didn't like it when I gave them a listen of it.

Hi! I just finished watching the video to Rain of a Thousand Flames, and I was stunned from 1 second into the song till the end!! This is FAST epic powermetal! FAST! Like SPEED! Is there no stopping these masters?? GEEZ! Get the video off Kazaa NOW! This is the pinnacle of epic music! BUY THIS CD!

(If you go d/l the video be aware that it does have a few brief shows of a topless girl, so if you are offended by nudity then you may be better off with just the song/cd.)
