RHAPSODY OF FIRE Guitarist LUCA TURILLI checks in with the following update:

"Hi my friends,

I just came back from Wolfsburg where I ended the first part of the production for the second DREAMQUEST album (please check www.dreamquest.eu for more details).

During that time I had also the possibility to plan the production of my fourth solo album. I can already tell you that the next album will be the solo album I always dreamed of.

Olaf Hayer will be the absolute hero of the fourth release. I always thought his voice sounds very similiar to the one of Michael Kiske (please check our cover of 'I Am Alive' if you have some doubts!) And I will never deny that thanks to Michael's voice and the two 'Keepers' from HELLOWEEN I started loving the melodic speed metal around 20 years ago.

And so here we come with my crazy vision... my next solo album will try to be the imaginery 'Keeper Of The Seven Keys, Part 3' that I would have liked to heard sung by Michael Kiske in 1990, a 'monumentum' to melodic speed/power metal with anthemic refrains and sing-a-long melodies.

But this is only a part of the whole plan. The new album will comprehend a giant orchestra too, a giant choir and a lot of very special guests for a complete cinematic approach. Just wait for it my friends, I am having so much fun composing it!

A great tour will follow the fourth solo album's release and me and Olaf will be then on all the stages worldwide to promote it in the best way.

Stay tuned for more info! Best wishes!"

Luca Turilli released his latest solo album, The Infinite Wonders Of Creation, through Magic Circle Music/SPV on May 26th in Germany, the rest of Europe on May 29th and in North America on June 6th.
