Synopsis

Album Description

WHEN FILM-SCORE METAL COMES ALIVE! In January 2006, Italian Film Score Metal icons Rhapsody are poised to release their first live album ever on Magic Circle Music - entitled Live In Canada 2005 - The Dark Secret! This testimony of pure energy, over 60 minutes long, was recorded at the 'Albert-Rousseau Arena' in Quebec City on June 13, 2005 during leg one of Rhapsody being the special guest on Manowar's 'Demons, Dragons and Warriors World Tour?. The first leg of the tour, completed in Summer 2005, was highly acclaimed internationally for its stripped down and performance orientated arrangements, which allowed the band to prove that the music is the message. "This album is exceptionally magical", says guitarist and composer Luca Turilli. "It combines the song visions with the fun we had on stage and the amazing reaction from the fans". Keyboardist and composer Alex Staropoli joins: "The reaction of the fans in Canada and the US was just unbelievable. That's why we simply had to name this album 'Live In Canada'. A true dedication!" This Special Edition of Live In Canada 2005 ? The Dark Secret will be released as a two disc set featuring the complete Quebec show and a bonus DVD with exclusive behind-the-scenes-material as well as the complete album in 5.1 surround sound! With no doubt this will set the band's epic performance in a new light and give the listener a truly monumental audio experience.

CD Reviews

Could have had a longer and better set

DeuteronomY | 02/10/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm giving this three and a half stars actually.

I don't feel I'm getting much more with the bonus DVD, other than finding out I'm going to be spending more on the upcoming live DVD (!). I don't find much use for the additional audio version of the concert on DVD.

Complaints first. Such a short set. Only nine songs actually, not counting the intro `The dark secret' and the `Gran finale.'

The selection is not great. They put relatively boring stuff like `Village of the dwarves' instead of something like `Holy thunderforce' or `Rain of a thousand flames.'

I'm not the biggest fan of the album `The dark secret' either, so to see three of the nine songs coming from there, wasn't very cool. Or they could have put `Never forgotten heroes' if they really wanted a `Dark secret' song.

You can barely hear the bass guitar in the mix, so there's always that lack when listening to it.

For live concerts, I prefer huge arena-sounding drums with a real deep end and strong reverb for the snare, but the snare in this CD is alright. The bass drum however could have been mixed a bit more.

I'm glad the CD contained `Wisdom of the kings' and `Emerald sword' at least. And Rhapsody is always a tight band, at least from what I'm heard from a bootleg.

So there. There could have been more songs, and less `trudge' songs like `Village of the dwarves.' They could have put a lot more goodies on this CD. I hope the DVD lives up to its claim of having plenty of documentaries and stuff. I actually enjoy documentaries and stuff as much if not more than the recorded concerts."

Very Good Stuff Here!

"This is a very good live album! All the songs sound really really good. The setlist is not the best, but it works well.

I wish the dvd had the whole entire Live In Canada concert on it... That would have been a lot better, but it only has a few previews of the shows.

If your a fan of Rhapsody, or a fan of POWER METAL in general, you should pick this up, and give it a listen."
