Hollywood metal?

What in the world is Hollywood metal? As far as I can tell, this album is simply symphonic power metal(though it DOES have quite an emphasis on the symphonies). Plus, "hollywood metal" is redlinked. Until someone can back up this genre, I'm changing it.-ABigBlackMan

Hollywood metal is the older way to call what is now know as Symphonic Epic Metal (as written on the plastic cover of the album), and it's hollywood for the only fact that there is a scheme that is singed thought the lyrics.. and overall the saga continues from one album to another. The scheme, from Rhapsody's albums/saga) is like an big hollywood movie, and in the case of Rhapsody, comparable to the LoTR story, except that the hero must find a legendary sword to defeat an big nemesis/doom bringer. --Zerat ca 04:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Change in style

Triumph or Agony is a fairly significant departure from Rhapsody's heavy sound. The album is predominantly composed of slow ballads, with very few solos. There is also a much greater emphasis on orchestral sections and narrative (especially evidenced from the dialogue in "The Mystic Prophecy of the Demonknight". Perhaps Rhapsody of Fire is capitalizing on the publicity generated from Christopher Lee's appearance on their previous album, finding that the softer orchestral sound has more mainstream appeal than their more technical and heavy roots. Or perhaps that's just the musical direction the band wishes to go in. Either way, perhaps a paragraph or two could be added to summarise the nature of the album, particularly in relation to their others, in order to assist those interested in the band. 194.72.238.108 10:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vocals on "The Mystic Prophecy of the Demon Knight"

If anyone has an idea about who provided guest vocals on "The Mystic Prophecy of the Demon Knight" (part III) please provide them- liner notes provide no indication but there is very clearly a number of different vocalists. (This section sounds especially similar to a section in Hail And Kill by Manowar, btw, interesting reference/tribute/whatever) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thee darcy (talk • contribs) 23:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
