Rhapsody is an extraordinary band from Italy. Their sound can be best described as "epic". Many consider this metal to be called Symphonic Metal for Rhapsody uses a variety of different instruments other than guitars. Hell, they take advantage of whole orchestras to help them compose their songs! Rhapsody, themselves, do not like the "over-used" title of "Symphonic Metal." Rather, they prefer to be considered "Hollywood Metal." If your looking for true metal musicians who put every bit of strength into their songs, this is the band!
