Bon, dernièrement j'ai chopé de superbes pièces concernant les groupes pré-cités, je tâcherai de les prendre individuellement histoire de ne pas recommencer les "photos de classe" sans arrêt pour les mettre à jour.
Sinon, je vous présente une nouvelle facette de ma collection de CDs, elle concerne le groupe Rhapsody, maîtres d'armes du métal symphonique depuis 1997. Les premiers visuels étaient totalement ringards mais avaient un côté "fait à la maison", une touche passionnée qui pouvait se ressentir dans leur musique. N'empêche, avec au départ très peu de moyens, ils ont su redéfinir le crossover metal / musique classique (initié par Ritchie Blackmore et plus tard Yngwie Malmsteen, puis Angra) avec une effronterie et une grandiloquence rarement autant assumées. Mais trève de parlotte, voici la fresque :
