Rhapsody zal de opnamesessies voor het nieuwe album opnemen en ze beschikbaar stellen op de een of andere manier.

Ook zullen ze het album zelf gaan produceren.

Ik heb alleen gehoord dat drummer Alex Holzwart (ofzo) live soms wat tegenvalt? En dat ze soms een andere drummer gebruiken ofzo, weet iemand daar iets van. Sorry voor mijn boring drumgedoe maar ben wel geinteresseerd

Heb er live weinig van gemerkt en volgens mij is het juist vaak Alex Holzwarth die drummers vervangt ipv andersom.

Misschien de vorige drummer. Alex Holzwarth drumt pas mee sinds Dawn of Victory.

Ben iig benieuwd naar het nieuwe album, denk eerlijk gezegd dat het meer van hetzelfde wordt, maar dan nog bombastischer met dat orkest, ofzo.

Oh, hehe. Op de albums hoor je dat ook bijna niet, zijn toch altijd dezelfde ritmes Ik luister net Legendary tales trouwens, en opeens ontdek ik allemaal nieuwe bassloopjes die ik normaal niet hoorde

Hi dear friends,
Luca and Alex here to speak with all of you about one important matter.

It's since 1997 that we are facing lies around our band...
We decided to never reply to not place ourself at the same level of these
people.
But now happened something that we didn't like at all... a lie bigger than
ever before...

In the forum of this site we received an incredible message from one of our
brazilian friends... some strange things were told by Felipe Andreoli and
Luis Mariutti of the brazilian bands SHAMAN and ANGRA regarding Rhapsody in
the recording studio.

These are some parts of the interview...

Cover Baixo - Give us an example of these "fake bands":

Luis - I know Iīm gonna shock many fans, but Rhapsody is the typical example
of this kind of things...
Felipe - Oh, about that one everybody already knew... (laughs)
Luis - Yeah, in that case Sascha Paeth is the one who does everything, the
guys of the band give ideas for the songs, but all the part of studio is not
done by the group, but by Sascha and electronic drums. Luca Turilli just
started to record the guitars by himself now... Man, if I go to Italy, Iīll
end killed by the metal MO... (many laughs)
Felipe - Yeah, the guys didnīt even do tours, obviously there was something
wrong...
Luis - I donīt know how far itīs good for metal. The ideal thing is to make
a band and keep itīs roots.

Well, in a first moment me and Alex couldn't really believe to what we were
reading... then we decided to react...

These are some facts:

1) IT'S SINCE SIX MONTHS THAT ME AND ALEX COMPLETED THE BASIC SONGS FOR THE
NEW RHAPSODY ALBUM, WORKING HARD EVERY DAY.
THREE MONTHS AGO WE MET AGAIN TO PERFECTIONATE EVERYTHING...
AND IN THIS LAST MONTH WE MET A THIRD TIME TO TAKE CARE MORE AND MORE TO THE
LITTLEST DETAILS AND TO BE FULLY SATISFIED OF THE MUSICAL RESULT
TO GIVE TO OUR FANS THE BEST ALBUM THEY CAN WAIT FOR...
THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T ENDURE ANYMORE THESE STUPID LIES !!!!!

2) ON THE SECOND DAY OF AUGUST THE RECORDING SESSIONS FOR THE NEW RHAPSODY
ALBUM WILL BEGIN AND ACTUALLY SASCHA DOESN'T KNOW 1 (ONE) SINGLE NOTE OF THE
ALBUM !!! HE'S ONLY THE PRODUCER, A GREAT PRODUCER (RECORDINGS,EDITING,
PREMIXES SETUPS,SOUNDS PROCESSING,MIX,MASTERING, AND N-O-T 1 (ONE) NOTE OF
COMPOSITION!) HE KNOWS THAT IS ALSO VERY HARD TO GIVE ONLY ONE ADVICE
REGARDING A SONG TO ME AND ALEX.
ONE NEW MORE REGARDING THIS...
THE NEW RHAPSODY ALBUM WILL BE PRODUCED BY RHAPSODY FOR THE FIRST TIME !!!

3) SINCE 1997 ME AND ALEX PREPARE THE SONGS IN THE MOST COMPLETE WAY BEFORE
GOING IN STUDIO AND IT NEVER HAPPENED THAT WE COMPOSED JUST 1 SONG IN THE
STUDIO WITH SASCHA... NOT EVEN 1 !!!!

4) WE ARE JEALOUS OF OUR COMPOSITIONS, THAT'S WHY WE ARE USED TO WRITE
ALWAYS ON EVERY ALBUM THE FAMOUS SENTENCE... ALL MUSIC, SONGS, VOCAL AND
BASS LINES COMPOSED BY LUCA TURILLI AND ALEX STAROPOLI !!!

5) WE ARE PLENTY OF FLOPPY DISKS,DEMOS AND MASTER TAPES (FROM 1995 TILL
TODAY) THAT CAN DEMONSTRATE ALL THE HARD WORK WE MADE IN TRIESTE AND ONLY
TRIESTE TO OBTAIN THE 'HOLLYWOOD METAL' SOUND !!

You can now fully understand why we are really tired of all this
situation...
and so we decided to make something to stop these kind of lies FOREVER:

RIGHT NOW JUST ONE WEEK IS MISSING BEFORE STARTING THE RECORDINGS OF THE NEW
RHAPSODY ALBUM...
THE SONGS OF RHAPSODY ARE ALL IN THE ALEX'S COMPUTER IN TRIESTE AND SASCHA
DOESN'T KNOW STILL ONE SINGLE NOTE OF THEM...

SO WE ARE READY TO PAY THE FLIGHT TO LUIS MARIUTTI TO COME RIGHT NOW IN THE
STUDIO TO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO SEE WHAT IS THE REALITY THERE AND TO BE
ASHAMED FOR WHAT HE TOLD IN THAT ABSURD INTERVIEW...

IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE EXPECT PUBLIC EXCUSES TO END THIS STUPID SOAP-OPERA.

Thanks for your understanding, beloved friends... it's really not nice to
receive these moral hurts from people we always used to deeply esteem.

Right in this moment we are finishing another great session of long
composition to offer you another exciting travel on the notes of
Rhapsody's music!

Peace and Love to all of you,
LUCA AND ALEX

Statement from the Shaman bassplayer about the "Cover Baixo" Interview
"Hello. Reading the interview I gave to Cover Baixo, I admitt that I also thought it was antiethic and foolish from me to tell those things. I will not stay here trying to explain what was said. What can I do is to apologyze with the fans of the band, the musicians because of the wrong words that were told in a bad day. I hope one day I will be able to fix this error with the fans and the musicians of the band. Thanks for the attention, Luis"

Maar die Sascha kan wel producen ja, betere powermetal producties heb ik eigenlijk nog niet gehoord. Misschien leuk om te posten in het "Beste producer" topic wat nieuw is

Drumcomputer, mwoa. Er is vast veel getriggerd en ook met een dikke echo erover, veel ge-equalized etc. (in het echt klinkt het onmogelijk zo goed/groot) Maar de bekkens klinken gewoon echt, hoewel ze op het album 100 gong en pauken slagen eroverheen mixen, vanalles Rhapsody is een band voor grote speakers

Inderdaad wel grappig

Felipe Andreoli:

I'd like to say something about that interview in the Brazilian magazine Cover Baixo, where Luis Mariutti and I mentioned the Italian Band Rhapsody. What is written in the interview is in fact what was said that day. The subject came up in a natural way, and it was never our intention to defame the musicians from Rhapsody. If said things are true or not, I don`t know. I just said that there is a rumor about it, and I`ve heard about it many times.
The truth is that this is Rhapsody`s business, and it`s not up to me to judge anyone. As I said before, I don`t know the truth about it. I would feel extremely ofended if someone said those things about me, just because I know it`s not true, and I can completely understand how the band and the fans feel about it. Therefore, all I can do is apologize sincerely to Rhapsody and its fans, and also to the music fans in general, for giving such a bad example.

Thanks for the attention,

Felipe Andreoli
