Rhapsody - Power of the Dragonflame (2002/LMP)
Rating - 7.9

Agony Is My Name--RealAudio

Much of the same from the band, as they blend fast, intricate, and symphonic sounds into their metal repertoire. You really have to buy into the classical/ semi-operatic elements to truly enjoy Rhapsody, though, as the music may be a bit too bombastic and speed-driven for the average metal fan.
"The March of the Swordmaster" is a thick tune, and all of "Agony Is My Name," "Steelgods of the Last Apocalypse," and "The Pride of the Tyrant" are good. "Garoyles, Angels of Darkness" is a 19-plus minute piece at the end of the disc, and features a particularly nice classical guitar-and-vocal intro.
