The world needs a little more high fantasy. Everything's all Game of Thrones this, and The Walking Dead that. Pessimism, pessimism, pessimism. Would it *kill* these producers to put out some classic action/adventure, good vs evil, swashbuckling heroes *fantasy*, that's not *based* on anything that already exists, and doesn't have any *politics* to it?

OMFG... You see, Rhapsody is one of those band that can surprise me one song after another... I mean, GEEZ... I wasn't expecting such awesomeness, but then, through the whole song, it was like the time i watched LOTR for the first time, and here i am drooling, imagining how would this look in a movie... C'mon, this song deserves a movie of it's own! This is so epic, that i gotta hear it seven more times just to learn the lyrics! AND CRISTOPHER LEE ( i missed him already)... AWESOME,nuff said.
they dosen't need to do more songs after this why cause its the best song in the world and by the way this is not the full track the full track is 22 min
you see, power metal (primarily Rhapsody of Fire and Blind Guardian) is the only type of music that lets you watch a movie in your head while listening to music
Excelente pieza, magnifica, primero muchos coros, excelentes, luego una furia impresionante y luego me dan ganas de llorar al escuchar a Fabio lione, que sentimiento le pone
Exactly, the best part of "Gargoyles" is the beginning acoustic guitar. And yes, there's not a power metal band that sounds close to what Rhapsody sounds like, Nightwish and Kamelot come close, but they are still quite different.
If I ever had to make a wish, it would be to erase Rhapsody from my mind, so I can hear this masterpiece for the first time again, along with almost every Rhapsody song.
OK - this is one of the best gothic metal songs ever - can we get TO IT without an ad for Absolut Vokda? I can buy that stuff anywhere...get to the music.
By saying ''one of the best songs'' I meant there are songs as unique, magical and wonderful as this one, yet that does not mean there cannot be better songs. What is more, it also depends on the feeling the song gives you, for instance, if you want to travel to a world of fantasy, where you can find dragons, knights and wizards, you can listen to this song and you can also feel them inside you as you listen to this song . Lastly, everyone has a different taste of music, thereby for me this is not the best song but one of the best songs,due to the fact that it makes you travel to another world . Here is another song which I believe, gives you the same feeling, Bard's Song by Blind Guardian, for example. I hope you enjoy it ;)
R.I.P. Christopher Lee , we will miss your epicness :( .

The Best chorus of rhapsody of fire!!!
Really
This is one of the best songs that has EVER been written. It´s fantasy to the core... i love it.
The world needs a little more high fantasy. Everything's all Game of Thrones this, and The Walking Dead that. Pessimism, pessimism, pessimism.

@@danielkyavata6233same :>
"the unholy place, where the black order was born", that's the moment you realize that the shit started to be serious. Bravissimo Rhapsody!
True but to be fair Rain of a Thousand Flames was the moment where their music becomes progressively more serious, brutal and disturbing
Luca Turilli is a lyrical genius.
This song tell a story, a legend, a poem... One of the songs I most love...
The chorus is next level, i can't get tired of this wonder
4:55 - First Chorus
15:36 - Second Chorus
Or as I like to call them, this episode's opening, and its closing/credits theme.
Those are actually the second and third choruses respectively. The first one is at 2:30. The opening and closing thing still applies though.
THEY ARE THE LAST HOPE
FOR MEN, DRAGONS AND DWARFS
SPIRITS OF THE FORESTS
SHY ELVES AND TROLLS
FIVE GO FROM ELGARD
INTO THE DARKNESS LEAVING THE LIGHT
TO FIND THE BLACK ORDER'S
IMMORTAL DARK RHYMES
TO FIND THE WRITTEN WORDS
BY HELLGOD'S UNHOLY SON
PREVENT HIM FROM RETURNING
AND SAVE THE WHOLE WORLD

I forgot all about this album. I used to listen to it all the time in college. God, I've missed it.
The best part of this song 9:15-11:30 wow 🤘
i can feel the suffering... in every rock.
Que voz tan dulce del chico, sin necesidad de ser aguda ❤ 2:12 y 4:36
I've been looking for this song for such a long time! Feels good to be back haha. Thanks for the upload!

For Me I Always Say That And I Will Still Say That Rhapsody Of Fire Is Lord Of The Rings But In Metal
@@akdiwi1jkssk717 and darker
Rhapsody of Fire
Having deeper character concepts and more fleshed out storylines than your average D&D campaign since 1997
I feel like I'm listening to a movie.
Hell yes. I would watch a rhapsody of fire movie ^^
The notes Fabio hits from the 9:40 to 11:00 range are sick! :o
Oh god.... that "Iras Algor", sounds just like Gandalf!
This song also shows the musical strength of this band in a very impressive way, incredibly professional, expressive, emotional!
This work is characterized by a melancholic, but at the same time very tender and profound expressiveness. It combines classic structures with overwhelming emotional moments
Keep your blade sharp, your potions well stocked and always watch out for GAAAAAAAWWWWBLINNS!
Con la voce di Christopjer Lee è perfetto...bravissimi !!!
Honestly how can any metal musician top this? the only one I'm guessing is Luca Turilli himself, the epicness here is beyond words, his last epics are so close to this one, of michael the archangel and lucifer's fall 1 and 2 are two great pieces of music aswell, but this one got no match, this is the top of the game.
Even Luca himself isn't able to top this. Absolute epicness achieved by the whole ROF lineup
@@filipilif debatable, but that is entirely by perspective.
@@filipilifWhat about Luca Turilli's Of Michael the Archangel and Lucifer's Fall part I and II? One of his best works
This is perfect music to listen to when doing anything. It just gives off so much inspiration and makes anything you do sound epic.
I actually memorised this track from the start till end. Every bit of it.
Simple math: Awesome classical music + awesome rock music + awesome fantasy story = Amazingly awesome music. That's the name of the genre. Seriously.
Into the darkness they crossed the marsh
And entered the frozen cave
A secret path was cut into the rock
A labyrinth a twisted maze
An unknown misty haze
Open your heart
Then your mind's eye
Khaas' eyes focused on the grey rock
He saw it in a different way
The riddle soon would be solved
An illusion was carved in the stone
The arrows show where to go
Trust in yourself
Truth awaits you there
Crawling on their hands and knees
Dark is their endless journey
So deep the cave of bats
But they will go on and on
They are the last hope
For men, dragons and dwarves
Spirits of the forest
Shy elves and trolls
Five go from Elgard
Into the darkness leaving the light
To find the Black Order's
Immortal dark rhymes
To find the written words
Of Hellgod's unholy son
Prevent him from returning and save the whole world
Through the Valley of Sin
Led by the whispers of holy wind
Into Dar-Kunor, new saga begins
The well of dead souls appears, a red river's flowing inside
There's no way to cross, there's no way to climb
They wish they were birds and could fly
Fly to the other side
There's a message
On the dark stone
They discovered a massive dark stone
Atop it a riddle inscribed:
"Walk in the bloody abyss, led onward by Nekron's black will.
Find the courage in his name"
Search your conscience
Read between those words
"Yes, and now I know. Nekron's name is all
That we need to solve this mystery"
Iras spoke those holy words
They are the last hope
For men, dragons and dwarves
Spirits of the forest
Shy elves and trolls
Five go from Elgard
Into the darkness leaving the light
To find the Black Order's
Immortal dark rhymes
To find the written words
Of Hellgod's unholy son
Prevent him from returning and save the whole world
Through the Valley of Sin
Led by the whispers of holy wind
Into Dar-Kunor, new saga begins
"And so this new riddle finally revealed itself to me
The solution lay in Nekron's name
In the Nekranos alphabet certain numbers
Corresponding to the letters of his name
Aligned in accordance with black geometry enabling us
To walk on invisible steps across the silent abyss
Reaching the other side of the cave.
Unknown horrors awaited us behind those two dark portals"
By all the gods of my nordic lands...
We are at the gates of death...
They were built with the severed limbs of humans and elves
...Under the orders of my father Vankar...
I can feel suffering in every rock...
Listen to the silence...
That must be the great hall...
The unholy place where the Black Order was born...
Since 5000 years, age of primordial wars
The men of the known world read Nekron's manuscripts
Power, blood and luxury attracted some of them
Who denied the gift of light, sealed their bloody faith to...
Hell, Kron and his son
He revealed to them the key to resurrect his soul
He would be the avenger of his death
Nekron once dead would survive in their faith
Here they came
To pray for him
A new Black Order
Dar-Kunor was a gathering of fools
Evil seed for new
Tragic wars
Sacrifice of innocents, darkest rites with human flesh
This was written in the books seven like the sins of men
But horror fills the one that keeps the most terrible prophecy
With it Nekron gave the key to awaken him from sleep
Sad, dark, prophecy
Our heroes have to find it
Or the world will suffer
The last book contains another key
All the wizards know
The seventh book's the only hope
There may be a key
In the seventh Book
A message for the evil Order
How to hide
The Angels' rhymes
So they never will be seen again
Great lords of thunder... the seventh lost book... there...
Upon the altar...
Yes... that is the book... I am sure of it!
I've heard my father describe it many times...
Let us take it and leave this godforsaken place...
...The legendary evil book is now in our hands...
Let us make haste... this was too easy
What are these noises?
What's happening...
What's going on?
Removing it has awakened some nameless horror
...Let us leave here now...
Look... there! ...hands coming up from the ground...
Ahhh... come on... get away from here... let's move!
Scene di vita, eroica memoria
Verso la luce della speranza
Nel cieco oblio della lor fuga
Nel grigio limbo tra vita e morte
"Fleeing through the labyrinths with the hordes of the living dead
Fast upon them
Once again they found themselves trapped in front of the abyss
But with no time to think about black geometry
They leaped into the red river
For any death would have been better than the one waiting for them
Created by the hungry creatures of darkness"
Ossa e fango
Ma il respiro c'è
Covered by skulls and bones
In Hargor's marsh they found a way to hide
From the sons of darkness
Who betrayed the Angels' light
They are the last hope
For men, dragons and dwarves
Spirits of the forest
Shy elves and trolls
Five went from Elgard
Into the darkness leaving the light
To find the Black Order's
Immortal dark rhymes
To find the written words
Of Hellgod's unholy son
Prevent him from returning
And save the whole world
Finally out of the dark
They see the light of the moon
They stole from Dar-Kunor
The seventh Black Book.
Fucking epic
