Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following a forced name change due to legal disputes, the Italian symphonic metal pioneers re-emerged as Rhapsody of Fire with 'Triumph or Agony'. The incredibly grandiose album features a massive 70-piece orchestra and choir, pushing their signature fantasy-themed, high-speed power metal into explicitly cinematic, soundtrack-oriented territory.
