Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None


Rhapsody of Fire is a Symphonic Power Metal band that originated in Italy in 1993, spending about a week of this period as ''Thundercross'' and most of its history as just ''Rhapsody''. Co-founded and led by Luca Turilli (lead guitar) and Alex Staropoli (Keyboard), others included Fabio Lione (vocals), Alex Holzwarth (drums) and Patrice Guers (bass). One of the things that makes them notable among Symphonic Metal bands is that ''all'' of their earlier songs tell of events, people, places and things in a highly detailed EpicFantasy, ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''-esque setting.

* CallBack: In the Emerald Sword saga, the Warrior of Ice flees from Halgor by throwing himself in the underground river Aigor. In the Dark Secret Saga the same trick is used by our heroes to flee from the hordes of the living dead.

* ShoutOut: The song "Distant Sky" from ''Into the Legend'' features the lines "A cry in the silence, a shine in the dark". These same exact lyrics appear in the ''Music/{{Ayreon}}'' song "The Awareness", from their album ''The Final Experiment''. Fabio Lione, longtime lead singer of Rhapsody of Fire, collaborated with Arjen Anthony Lucassen on the ''Ayreon'' project, performing vocals on the ''Ayreon'' song "Through the Wormhole" on the album ''Universal Migrator Part 2: Flight of the Migrator''.

This trope is In-Universe Examples Only.


* {{Mondegreen}}: Fabio's strong accent and rather unique inflection lends itself to a few of these. At other times it's {{averted}} for the same reason, because it's impossible to imagine him to be saying ''anything'' in English, at least without reading the lyrics.
