Rain of a Thousand Flames
„For us, "Rain Of A Thousand Flames" is the perfect balance between the aggressiveness of "Dawn Of Victory", the symphonic elements of "Symphony Of Enchanted Lands" and all the important components of the ´Hollywood Metal` which we created,“ Luca Turilli characterizes the new songs. „The idea of giving the fans a little present between two regular albums had been in our minds for quite a time. But we wanted to offer them something very special and not just one new song plus a couple of others they already know. That's why we recorded completely new songs, two of which have truly epic lengths. These two tracks are ´Queen Of The Dark Horizons` and ´Rhymes Of A Tragic Poem - The Gothic Saga` with playing times of over thirteen and twenty-three minutes respectively. With ´Queens Of The Dark Horizons` Rhapsody touch on the main theme of the soundtrack of Dario Argento's cinema thriller, ´Phenomena` and, in ´The Wizard´s Last Rhymes` they worked with the characteristic, moving passages from Antonin Dvoráks ´Symphony Of The New World`. All in all it's an impressive piece of music that the band has produced in the Wolfsburg Gate and Pathway Studios under the guidance of Sascha Paeth.
