ROCK THE NATION is proud to announce the signing of RHAPSODY, whose brand new album ASCENDING TO INFINITY entered the official German charts at # 32. It is the second best chart result ever for RHAPSODY in Germany, after they hit # 30 with the album POWER OF THE DRAGONFLAME in 2002.

An huge European tour for this coming Winter has also been confirmed and the band promise a true live spectacle:

"Actually we are preparing ourselves for the European leg of the ASCENDING TO INFINITY CINEMATIC WORLD TOUR of this fall. You should not miss it as each concert of this ambitious tour won't be just a typical show but instead a spectacular live event, full of legendary songs, visual surprises and unique atmospheres. Mostly important it will be a great chance for us to meet all of you, in Germany, all around Europe, in many countries where we never played before, and later also in the rest of the world. Therefore see you soon, dear friends, and be ready for the ultimate cinematic live experience!" RHAPSODY

RHAPSODY are proud to announce that in the end of the summer/beginning of autumn, their second single CLASH OF THE TITANS will be released online and will be available for everyone FOR FREE! A real gift made by the band to thank all the people, fans and journalists, who contributed to the great success and the historical chart results obtained by the new album ASCENDING TO INFINITY around the world. The "virtual" single will include the new song FANTASIA GOTICA, defined by the band as a very original cinematic orchestral ballad of rare emotional impact, and a new great video realized by the Swedish video director Owe Lingvall of DREAMDAY MEDIA (U2, The Rasmus) right for the song CLASH OF THE TITANS. The location chosen for the shooting of the new video was New York and the talented video director has no doubts: "The visual impact of the new video will underline once more the strong link between Rhapsody and the world of movies".

"We are working with our friend Owe Lingvall to present a new generation of shows on our upcoming tour" states Dominique, guitar player of the band. And adds: "The songs of the new album, the legendary hits of the first albums, some of those old glorious Rhapsody songs never or rarely played until now, a couple of surprises from the solo releases of Luca Turilli: the great variety of the setlist is surely guaranteed and we will offer music for all tastes!". Alex Landenburg, the new drummer, adds: "The collaboration with DREAMDAY MEDIA and the use of video projection will set a new standard for our shows in this and in the future tours. But this is not everything as many more exciting surprises are waiting for you. Therefore be ready to live an intense emotional experience and see you soon to spend some great and unique cinematic evenings together!"
