The Magic of the Wizard's Dream, by Rhapsody of Fire


"Every second of this song is like an orgasm, its the most epic song ever, there isn't other band like Rhapsody, they're the best band in all the galaxies, and if you don't believe me, listen this song in all of its versions." -- youtube commenter Gaasz

"No it is not funny." -- youtube commenter Gandalf930


Unholy Warcry by Rhapsody of Fire


"Man. What a sweet solo. But why were they rubbing barbecue sauce on a skull at 1:50???
Neways, RoF PWNS ALL!!!!!!!" -- youtube commenter ACDCBoy62

"Maybe the idea was, that the "sauce" is blood. And the skull is the skull of the man, who will be ressurected.
Even so, the song is amazing.
So was Rhapsody written. And so shall Rhapsody be!" -- youtube commenter al3k0

"You are stupid, so they are more powerful than themselves? The bandmembers from Rhapsody of Fire are no more "powerful" than any other human." -- youtube commenter Offspringfan63


i saw a cut-down version of "unholy warcry" on Rockhard Video on can-tv (channel 19, i think) when i still lived in chicago. it was the most epic thing i had ever seen and i think i spent several days in a fugue state, thinking, "what the fuck? did i just see that? was fucking christopher lee just fucking IN THAT?". later i found the video on rhapsody's website which resulted in it being shown during one of my classes at SAIC, i.e. the best class ever.

i found the un-cut version on youtube a few weeks ago. and while i was looking at rhapsody links i found "the magic of the wizard's dream", which i had actually read about but never heard (despite looking for it at the time, because i was like, "christopher lee singing epic metal? YAH I NEED TO FIND THAT"). i think that the word which best describes that piece is, indeed, "indescribable".

it doesn't seem to matter how many times i watch the video for "magic of the wizard's dream", it always makes me laugh hysterically. christopher lee earnestly singing about "divine lost crystal realms". that said, i can't help liking "unholy warcry" because it is just sooooo fucking epic, despite being completely nonsensical.

i may have to keep an eye out for the dvd, yes...

hee. Epic is the PERFECT word. XD

The dvd is basically just him sitting in a room somewhere telling stories about all the films he has been in, with clips and stills once in a while. Everything he says is pretty profound in some way.

is it all really profound, or does it just sound profound because it is being said by christopher lee? sometimes it's hard to tell, because of the POWER of his voice.

thus it *sounds* like he's saying something amazing deep and epic in the above videos, but then if you listen to the words they are a string of meaningless cliches and some of the sentences aren't even grammatically correct. he is made of magic.

I want to hear him order a pizza or something. 'PEPPERONI AND EXTRA CHEESE, PLEASE. OOH, I HAVE A COUPON.' I must imagine his voice in capslock.
