First enjoyed the happy metal of Freedom Call. Live they are usually good. Also now. Halfway through the performance the men of Rhapsody Of Fire walked onto the stage with some refreshing drinks for Freedom Call. Not only because they were thirsty but also to thank Freedom Call for their support. That evening was the last evening for Freedom Call as a support act of the tour. After ROF left the stage the party continued. A mix of new and old songs to end with 'Tears Of Babylon' while jumping.
Then it was Rhapsody Of Fire's turn to introduce their album. The moment the band takes their places I realize that I haven't seen them in a long time. No Fabio Lione or Alex Holzwarth. (How long has it been? 10 years? almost?) For me it would be the first time live with Giacomo Voli. When the title track 'Challenge The Wind' was played about halfway through the show, shivers ran down my spine. Voli can do it. Although the new album is their fastest album ever and contains no ballads, a tribute was still paid to Christopher Lee. The end of the official part was started with 'Dawn of Victory'. A unique moment where Giacomo comes off the stage to mingle with the fans while singing. De Nieuwe Nor is a small cozy venue. Wonderful things can happen. Then follow four more encores to close with 'Emerald Sword' where Giacomo manages to split the room in 2... die hard fans know what is going to happen now. And yes... inside that small room the 2 groups storm each other as if it is their last time. It was great to see, it was a great performance. It was a great evening.

Rhapsody Of Fire Biography
Italian symphonic metal gods RHAPSODY OF FIRE, started their career in Trieste in the mid 90’s (releasing their first albums under the banner of “Rhapsody”), the debut ‘Legendary Tales’ (1997) and the second studio album ‘Symphony Of Enchanted Lands’ (1998) made a huge impact on the scene with a unique mixture of classic power metal, baroque/classical elements, operatic choirs and movie-like orchestrations. A huge worldwide fan base was built very quickly and the first five albums (which sold combined way over 1.000.000 copies) placed Rhapsody on top of the best-selling and most popular metal artists worldwide. They have played several tours all around the world in front of amazing crowds from Sao Paulo to Tokyo.
In 2004, Christopher Lee, a world-renowned actor that played in numerous movies including The Lord of The Rings as Saruman, contributed to the band by narrating and singing in their recordings. The most famous song that illustrates this unforgettable cooperation is “The Magic Of the Wizard’s Dream”.
From 2011, Alex Staropoli invited his longtime friend Roby De Micheli to become the new guitarist of RHAPSODY OF FIRE to continue producing music in the more classic and heavy direction that the fans loved so much.
After the ‘Live - From Chaos To Eternity’ double live album, released in early 2013, only six months later ‘Dark Wings Of Steel’ was unleashed. Music had been written by Alex Staropoli and his brother Manuel. It marked a first step back to the band’s roots, which continued in 2016 consequently with “Into The Legend”, their 11th studio album - another legendary and possibly the most accomplished masterpiece this forceful band has ever produced.
The band has now entered an important chapter of its history with a new singer, Giacomo Voli, a talented and powerful singer well known in Italy for his second place at The Voice in 2014.
Their latest studio recording The Eighth Mountain, released by AFM/Soulfood on 22 February 2019, combines spirited songs and epic chorus parts with lavish orchestra arrangements.
Rhapsody Of Fire will be performing in many cities around Europe this Winter 2020 for the second leg of their "The Eighth Mountain Tour".
