(Chipster) Italian film- score metal icons RHAPSODY have announced that they will release their first live album on Magic Circle Music. Entitled "Live In Canada 2005 The Dark Secret", the release is a testimony of pure energy, with over 60 minutes of footage recorded at the Metropolis in Montreal/Canada on June 14, 2005 during leg one of the MANOWAR's 'Demons, Dragons and Warriors World Tour'.As the special guests for MANOWAR this past summer, Rhapsodys performance was highly acclaimed internationally for its stripped down and performance- orientated arrangements, which allowed the band to prove that the music really is the message.
"This album is exceptionally magical, said guitarist and composer Luca Turilli. "It combines the song visions with the fun we had on stage and the amazing reaction from the fans."
Keyboarder and composer Alex Staropoli added that "The reaction of the fans in Canada and the U.S. was just unbelievable. That's why we simply had to name this album 'Live In Canada'. A true dedication!"
Live In Canada 2005 The Dark Secret will be released in two configurations: as a CD format that features the complete Montreal show and as a limited edition CD package (with the complete album recorded in 5.1 surround sound) that will include a bonus DVD that contains exclusive behind-the-scenes-material.
The track list includes old favourites from previous years as well as tracks from their latest release "Symphony Of Enchanted Lands II - The Dark Secret."
