Rhapsody--Symphony of Enchanted Lands

Rhapsody--Symphony of Enchanted Lands (1998/Limb) Rating--7.9

Symphony-laden music intermixed with the standard sounds of metal. Extremely intricate, as there are some early Helloween-like vocal blendings, as well as some overall Yngwie sounds. Fast drums complete the picture, as there are a lot of good tracks here. The distortion mix could probably stand to be a bit thicker-- but a small complaint.
The best cuts that emerge are "Emerald Sword," "Beyond the Gates of Infinity," and the long and multi-faceted title track.
A band that is fast developing a strong European following; it remains to be seen if they will garner respect in the fickle U.S. scene.
TRACK LIST: Epicus Furor/Emerald Sworld/Wisdom of the Kings/Heroes of the Lost Valley/Eternal Glory/Beyond the Gates of Infinity/Wings of Destiny/The Dark Tower of Abyss/Riding the Wings of Eternity/Symphony of Enchanted Lands
