With the whole Fabio Lione’s Dawn of Victory thing, and the fact it’s just Turilli/Lione Rhapsody without Turilli, I was reminded of a lot of interviews I’ve watched and read over the years, both from Fabio and Staropoli. I always felt Alex refusing the farewell tour was odd, and the way Fabio talks about Alex it seems like he’d rather be talking about literally anything else. He’s also mentioned that “someone will be really happy” that they weren’t going to be playing old Rhapsody songs during the Turilli/Lione era. There’s also this interview with Staropoli, where he seems rather salty Luca got the nuclear blast deal in 2011, saying “they didn’t know what I can do.”

I guess the point in all of this is that I have a hard time believing the original 2011 split was as amicable as we were told, or that there’s no animosity behind the scenes.

If you have any material you wish to promote -- your own music, a blog, etc. -- you may do so in this thread.

Just came back from their opening night in Silver Spring, and this is an unmissable event.

I'm not a huge BG fan, even if I discovered them in '89 with Battalions of Fear and have listened to Nightfall 100s of times, but if you are remotely into power metal do yourself a favor and get tickets now.

Awesome sound (blew Helloween out of the water, IMHO), Hansi had great rapport with the audience, and the audience itself was fantastic, singing along in the majority of the songs.

Probably the best show I have been to in the Fillmore. These guys are poised for a tremendous tour. Be part of it.

(Night Demon opened for them and they were great. Three guys with a huge sound and classic riffs. Can't get trver than that.)

Sorry to bother guys, I have a song stuck in my head and the only part I can remember is "No rest for the wicked"
As far as I can remember it was (most likely) a EUPM song, any ideas?
Youtube and spotify are not helping, maybe it was an underground pm band.

Yes, another post from me about Rhapsody of Ice Fire. It's my favorite band by far and to this day I really like everything they do, so I'm biased when I say it.

But I would like to know what people thought of the latest album released so far, Glory For Salvation.

All I know about the opinion about this album is that Chains of Destiny has a lot of views as does Rain of Fury from the previous album.

Just finished this album, and I wasn't very fond of it. How did this album fair among the powermetal community? Was it well received?
