An Epochal Open Letter from Giacomo Voli to Rhapsody of Fire, Fans, and the Whole Rhapsody of Fire Community
Dear Rhapsody of Fire members, fans, and the entire symphonic metal community,
As I sit down to write this letter, my heart is filled with genuine thanks and appreciation for the incredible trip we’ve been on together. From the minute I joined Rhapsody of Fire, I felt I was part of something incredibly special—a symphonic metal tradition that has affected and inspired countless people. Today, I’d like to take a moment to offer my heartfelt gratitude to the band, our passionate fans, and everyone who helped make this journey possible.
My comrades, you are more than simply musicians; you are brothers. The passion, dedication, and innovation that we bring to every song, album, and performance is what makes Rhapsody of Fire such a force in metal. Through every hardship and achievement, we have stood together, telling epic stories through music and introducing symphonic power metal to audiences all over the world. It is an honour to share the stage and the creative process with such accomplished and innovative artists.
To our fans, you are the heart of Rhapsody of Fire. Your energy, voices, and steadfast support fuel our music and motivate us to continue pushing the boundaries of our sound. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or discovered us along the way, your dedication and enthusiasm are what keep this band going. Every concert, every chant, and every time you sing along with us serves as a reminder of why we do this. Your love and devotion to our music make any sacrifice worthwhile.
Thank you to the entire symphonic metal community for welcoming me and allowing me to continue this wonderful band’s history. Taking on the job of lead vocalist in a band with such a long history was both an honour and a huge responsibility. I’ve poured my heart and soul into every note, phrase, and performance, hoping to honour the past while also adding my own passion and voice to the music we all enjoy.
Rhapsody of Fire is more than a band; it is a journey, an adventure, and a legend told through melodies and lyrics. And our journey continues, fuelled by the magic we make together. Thank you for believing in me, helping me develop as an artist, and being a part of this epic story.
With heartfelt gratitude and love,
Giacomo Voli
