Rhapsody of Fire - 2010 - The Frozen Tears of Angels

The Frozen Tears of Angels is the eighth full-length album by the Italian symphonic power metal band Rhapsody of Fire. It was released on April 30, 2010 via Nuclear Blast[1] It is the first album to be released after a long hiatus, caused by a legal dispute with the band's previous label, Magic Circle Music. The concept album is the third chapter of "The Dark Secret Saga", which began with Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret, but is more speed and guitar-oriented compared to its two predecessors.
