2011-04-15 - Tom Hess, the guitar virtuoso well known worldwide for his unique guitar skills and for being the creator of the famous online guitar courses, is now officially a new member of Rhapsody Of Fire!
He recorded most of the rhythmic parts of the new upcoming album “From Chaos To Eternity” (out on June, 17th) and also two guitar solos!
Alex says: “I saw Tom Hess playing on stage several times and always got impressed by his great stage presence and his way of playing. When I have heard the rhythmic and the solo guitars he recorded for Rhapsody Of Fire I was blown away, I could feel that strong presence in between every single note”.
Luca adds: “I know Tom since many years. He is a great person, a good friend of mine and I am not surprised of the success he’s having teaching his guitar techniques all around the world. I am really proud to have built a strong partnership with him and I will always thank him for the support he gave me when I decided to create my Neoclassical Revelation Guitar Course. Therefore I am really honored to present Tom to all the fans of Rhapsody Of Fire as I am sure he will be the one who, through his artistic talent and unique skills, will make the difference in this band for the years to come!”
And now a true gift from Rhapsody Of Fire to all their fans around the world.
From the new album “From Chaos To Eternity” you can download for free the most brutal song composed by Luca and Alex and entitled “Aeons Of Raging Darkness”, a real scream of anger against the war inspired by a real episode of free cruelty.
“Such song is dedicated to all the innocent people victims of the war, of the abuses, of those acts of violence that on a daily basis rape the soul of our wonderful planet” says Luca.

RHAPSODY OF FIRE
AEONS OF RAGING DARKNESS
I won’t forget that day
I won’t forget her name
What has hell done to her
Her pain’s flowing in my blackened soul’s veins
Libera animas
Omnium defunctorum
De poenis inferni
Ne cadant / ne cadant in obscurum
Libera animas
De poenis inferni
Cold frozen night
(Bleeding sins and lies)
Nocturnal rhyme
(Of unholy pride)
Quake! (Crack!) Dare! (Clash!)
Storm the gates of hell!
MAY YOU BE THE ONE
THE EVERLASTING FLAME OF HOPE
GLORIFY THE ANGELS
AND FIGHT THEIR HOLY WAR
LET ME FACE THE BEAST
AND EVERY SINGLE DEVIL’S SON
I WILL FREE MY MIND
AND I WILL SAVE HER SOUL
Many don’t realize
What it’s capable of
What “evil” really is
Far beyond its meaning as a mere word
Requiem aeternam
Dona eis, Domine
Requiem aeternam
Lux perpetua / lux luceat eis
Requiem aeternam
Dona eis, Domine
Her lovely smile
(Brutalized and raped!)
Her crystal eyes
(She won’t see anymore!)
Quake! (Crack!) Dare! (Clash!)
Storm the gates of hell!
MAY YOU BE THE ONE
THE EVERLASTING FLAME OF HOPE
GLORIFY THE ANGELS
AND FIGHT THEIR HOLY WAR
LET ME FACE THE BEAST
AND EVERY SINGLE DEVIL’S SON
I WILL FREE MY MIND
AND I WILL SAVE HER SOUL
Guitar Solo: Luca Turilli
MAY YOU BE THE ONE
THE EVERLASTING FLAME OF HOPE
GLORIFY THE ANGELS
AND FIGHT THEIR HOLY WAR
LET ME FACE THE BEAST
AND EVERY SINGLE DEVIL’S SON
I WILL FREE MY MIND
AND I WILL SAVE HER SOUL
Why you… why?
I will free you!
