Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus


Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus is the second and final studio album by Italian symphonic power metal band Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, created by Luca Turilli after his departure from Rhapsody of Fire. It was released on June 19, 2015 via Nuclear Blast.
Turilli considers it as one of the most important albums of his career: Prometheus, Symphonia Ignis Divinus was the first ever to be mixed in Dolby Atmos and the music of the same was used by Dolby and Yamaha to promote Dolby Atmos technology worldwide.
It is the only album with Alex Landenburg on drums, following Alex Holzwarth's departure shortly after the recording of the previous album Ascending to Infinity in order to focus on Rhapsody of Fire. The first single, "Rosenkreuz " was released April 24, 2015.

Composition

Luca Turilli composed the songs and arranged all the orchestral parts of the album in seven months. The creation of the album involved three more months of production, over 50 days of mixing, working with two choirs, several special guests, including Ralf Scheepers, Dan Lucas, and David Readman.
The album contains 70 minutes of epic music, sounding cinematic, bombastic and dramatic. The music is meant to lead the listener on an emotional and memorable journey between quantum gates, parallel dimensions, myths and legends hiding cosmic truths, ancestral secrets and spiritual revelations.
