Legendary Years


Legendary Years is a studio album by the Italian symphonic power metal band Rhapsody of Fire, consisting of re-recorded songs from The Emerald Sword Saga, a five concept albums-long story started in their first album Legendary Tales in 1997 and concluded in Power of the Dragonflame in 2002.
It is their first work with singer Giacomo Voli and drummer Manu Lotter, replacing longtime members Fabio Lione and Alex Holzwarth respectively. It also marks the band's first album not to feature Lione, and the first without Holzwarth since their 1998 studio album Symphony of Enchanted Lands.
