For those that listen to power metal, the band Rhapsody is now going by the name Rhapsody of Fire. Just a heads up

The band members consider this a great new start, reflecting the emboldened and increasingly grandiose direction that their music has taken. “The power of the dragonflame will burn brighter than ever before,” says guitarist/songwriter Luca Turilli. Keyboardist/songwriter Alex Staropoli adds, “The name Rhapsody Of Fire better represents the energy that has always been present in this band and its music.” With a new record company in Magic Circle Music, a new tour planned and a new album on the way, Rhapsody Of Fire will continue to explore musical fantasy worlds with the precision musicianship and unique symphonic concepts that their fans have come to expect and adore. Fresh on the heels of the band’s first live album release, Live In Canada 2005 - The Dark Secret, a new name and renewed vigor ensure that Rhapsody Of Fire still hold the passion and power that have always been associated with their music.

Interesting.

Cheesy as the music may be, I really like Luca Turilli and Rhapsody's work. I wonder who tried to sue them over the name 'Rhapsody'? I mean, Rhapsody is a word that can be found in the dictionary. It wasn't like they named themselves 'The Old McDonalds' or 'The Flaming Walmarts' or something like that...

Rhapsody has only ONE song that i have liked, Emerald Sword. That one is fantastic. Others i have heard were utter crap.

Hmm...that's really interesting...not sure how much I like the new name, but I guess if that's the way it's got to be, then that's the way it's got to be.

I really like Rhapsody (even though it IS kind of cheesy), but what surprises me here, is how the hell they only got copyright and trademark problems after 13 years!!

Rhapsody rocks! Symphony of the Enchanted Lands is so cool with the intros spoken by Christopher Lee. Can't believe, they convinced him to do that.
