Feb. 29 — Rhapsody Of Fire offered audiences their second taste of its forthcoming album, Challenge The Wind, this week.
The preview came Thursday in the form of the video for the album’s new single, ‘Challenge The Wind.’ The video is a familiar style presentation. It features the band performing its new single on a sound stage dressed to resemble a live stage setting. The new single plays over the visualization as the performance plays out.
‘Challenge The Wind’ and its video came almost a year after the band premiered the album’s lead single, ‘Kreel’s Magic Staff.’ Where that song boasts a clear power prog style arrangement a la Shadow Gallery and others of that ilk, the arrangement presented in the band’s latest single is more in line with the power metal compositions produced by the likes of Dragonforce.
No information was provided about the lyrical content that accompanies the song’s musical arrangement. The lyrics provided with the video paint a picture of a mythical battle and figure. It comes across as a story that will appeal to any fantasy fan. That is just this critic’s interpretation.
The track listing for Challenge The Wind is noted below along with the band’s upcoming tour dates in support of its new album.
