In anticipation of the bands brand new album, Luca Turilli’s Rhapsody have released one of the most grandiose trailers ever to see the light of day. Stating that their new release took a whopping, seven months of composition, three months of recording and over 50 days of mixing. Featuring two choirs and “very special” guests the album is sure to be one of the biggest undertakings from the band yet.
Though I must say that the trailer itself is beautifully crafted, lasting two and a half minutes, roughly the same time as a cinematic film trailer, it is spot on. With the announcements of the albums details presented as they would do in a film screening only adds to the sense of the grandiose that comes with the band. The trailer also features snippets of haunting new music from what I can deduce is a choir. With the trailer revealing the track listing for the 70 minute album, along with focussing on the various elements of the artwork created by Stefan ‘Heile’ Heilemann responsible for Epica, Mayan and other phenomenal releases that you’re sure to have heard of. Consisting of eleven songs which culminates in the five sectioned, eighteen minute suite “Of Michael The Archangel and Lucifer’s Fall Part II : Codex Nemesis“.
With the album being recorded at Backyard Studios, Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus is sure to be THE most cinematic experience of the year and it will still be better than Jurassic Park III…
