Well, Mike, Rhapsody (of Fire/Dire/whatever) are Italian, and we are well known for the excellence of our cheeses....Wink Though I must say the Emerald Cheese (a new version of Gorgonzola, perhaps?) sounds particularly interesting to me...LOL

Have you ever actually heard A Love Supreme? It is a lot of things (including not to my taste) but one could never describe it as cheesey!!!!

a lot of prog is cheesy", like a lot classical and jazz. Beetovan's (excuse the spelling) 5th symphony (Da Da Da Dah) or John Coltrane's A Love Supreme are some of the most "cheesiest" works around .
 
I listen to music for enjoyment, simple as that.
 
Give me elves, trolls, dragons etc, so long as they fit well with terrific symphonic epic music.
 
Like Manowar, another "Cheesy" band (beware of false metal), Rhasody appear to sincerely enjoy what they are doing, and are not just in it for the money.
 
They claim, prog is self indulgent and pretentious. Sorry, it is folk, punk, certain rap, and rock bands that put their lyrics ahead the music that are self indulgent and pretentious, and rip off the audience by playing lousy music.
 
That said, you want to listen to "cheese", go listen to punk, folk or rap, or go pay 200 dollars, or 400 pounds/euros to listen to a U2 or Springsteen concert to hear about stuff you read in newspaper or any university/college

"the power of the dragonfire will burn brighter than ever before." LOL

That has to be the Cheesiest thing I have ever heard. These guys need to get a life away from dragons and elves. (quotes Dream Theater song Voices) "This neverworld which you desire is only in your mind".

O ok. Well I did this because I took Popol Vuh / Popol Ace as an example. Anyway, I changed it back so it'll just be "Rhapsody" until we have a solution.

 I agree Bryan, all their albums to date are recorded by "Rhapsody".
Perhaps their name shoudl be "Rhapsody (AKA Rhapsody of fire)"

Joren, I would leave their name on the archives as it is seeing as how all their previous albums were still released under the name Rhapsody.  Maybe a new entry should be made once they release something under this name, sort of like how we have seperate entries for Samla Mammas Manna and Zamla Mannaz Manna despite them being the same band.

Alright, I changed the name of their entry on the archives. I also noticed a bio has never been written for them... even though they're pretty well-known. Is the Prog Metal-team on top of this? Tongue

I agree about the cheese factor. I only have one of their albums (Symphony of Enchanted Lands II) but I actually enjoy it a great deal from time to time. It's actually, like, the first cheese band I can look past and enjoy. Hmm.

100% cheese indeed! "Symphonic epic Holywood metal" by their own description.

^ I didn't mean to bash them - I enjoy listening to their music. I also think that it's quite progressive in many aspects - although even the most die-hard fans must admit that they didn't evolve much during their musical career.

But they ARE cheesy ... and maybe a name like "Rhapsody of Cheese" would have been more adequate.LOL

It's not really a change of name ... they merely added "of Fire" to their name. Clearly for legal reasons, and if anything it only reconfirms their style: cheesy, cliché power metal.LOL

Mandrakeroot, read again what they wrote. It is due to legal matters, not a change of sound.
