Artist News: Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Free Download Single + Lyric Video!

Posted on Sunday, December 20 @ 13:34:08 UTC by admin

With only one month until the start of the "Prometheus Cinematic World Tour" in Europe, Luca Turilli's Rhapsody proudly release their new single "Il Cigno Nero [Reloaded]" today [Dec 18].

The original song (from the album Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus; which was released June 19th, 2015 via Nuclear Blast) features in its reloaded version new powerful rhythmic guitar parts, a new bass arrangement and some additional orchestrations. It was re-mixed by Sebastian Roeder and Luca Turilli at the Backyard Studios in Kempten, Germany and re-mastered by Christoph Stickel at the MSM Studios in Munich, Germany. The cover artwork was realized once again by the great graphic artist Stefan Heilemann.

Mastermind Luca Turilli has created a lyric video for the new track, which can be seen below:

The "Prometheus Cinematic World Tour," support from various bands along the way: Iron Mask and Asylum Pyre (Jan 15 - 30), Temperance (Jan 31 - Feb 19), Qantice (Jan 31 - Feb 16) and Ancient Bards (Feb 17 - 19).

Dominique Leurquin, the guitar player of Rhapsody, affirms: "It is really amazing to be on tour with such great bands and musicians. Different styles of music for all tastes, different attitudes, but the same glorious approach to art based on heart and soul!"

Patrice Guers, the bass player, adds: "Such a tour will represent a real emotional adventure: an amazing setlist, video projection, special guests, surprises... We are all waiting for you. Stay Cinematic!"

Performing with the band are: Riccardo Cecchi, tenor of the Lyrical Choir Giuseppe Verdi Di Roma (also featured in the Woody Allen movie To Rome With Love), who will join Rhapsody on the European dates (January 15 - February 19); and, lead soprano Emilie Ragni, who sang on many tracks of the new album Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus.

"His voice is magnificent," states the lead singer Alessandro Conti [of Cecchi], and adds: "No compromise. We want to offer some memorable shows and Riccardo will greatly contribute to the cinematic impact of our tour with all his talent!"

"In the cinematic music of Rhapsody the choral aspect and its emotional impact is really fundamental," affirms the drummer Alex Landenburg, and adds: "We’ll be finally able to offer in our shows a unique live experience, having two great artists sharing the stage with Alessandro and singing the main voices of our greatest choral parts."

Composer Luca Turilli says: "My ultimate artistic dream is turning into a great reality. Imagine how an old Rhapsody classic such as 'Unholy Warcry' or the newest songs such as 'Of Michael The Archangel And Lucifer’s Fall,' 'Prometheus' and 'King Solomon And The 72 Names Of God' could sound when sung by real opera singers on stage. I have goosebumps just thinking about it!"
