The Neoclassical Edge

The subtitle of the album, A Neoclassical Revelation, is not an exaggeration. While previous Rhapsody albums leaned heavily into "Epic Hollywood Metal" with grand choirs and folklore, Ascending to Infinity places a heavier emphasis on technical proficiency and classical composition.
