Skupini Luca Turilli's Rhapsody se je pridružil bobnar Alex Landenburg, ki je zamenjal Alexa Holzwartha, saj le-ta zaradi obveznosti v skupini Rhapsody Of Fire nima dovolj časa za igranje v obeh bandih. /P.G./

Bejelit bodo 26. marca izdali četrti album z naslovom Emerge, ki mu bo sledila tudi turneja z rojaki Rhapsody Of Fire (glej rubriko Koncerti). /B.B./

Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, druga "verzija" Rhapsody Of Fire, ki sta jo po svojem odhodu ustanovila originalna člana Luca Turilli in Alex Staropoli, nameravajo junija izdati prvenec z naslovom Ascending To Infinity. Več detajlev obljubljajo kmalu, med drugim pa naj bi razkrili tudi vokalista skupine. /B.B./

Kamelot so najavili, da se letos jeseni odpravljajo na headlinersko evropsko turnejo, na kateri bodo predstavljaji zaenkrat še neimenovani novi album. Skupina še vedno išče zamenjavo za vokalista Royja Khana, ki je skupino zapustil lani. Na njihovi zadnji svetovni turneji jim je tako na pomoč priskočil Fabio Lione (Rhapsody Of Fire). /B.B./

Rhapsody Of Fire so objavili prvi del datumov evropske turneje, ki se bo pričela v začetku aprila. Tokrat se bosta prvič v živo predstavila nova člana, kitarist Roberto De Micheli in basist Oliver Holzwarth (brat njihovega bobnarja Alexa Holzwartha). V družbi skupin Kaledon in Behelit bodo najbližje našim krajem nastopili 11.4. v Milanu, 12.4. v Bologni in 14.4. v Trevisu. /B.B./

Za drugi band, ki ga sestavljajo Luca Turilli, Dominique Leurquin (oba kitara), basist Patrice Guers in bobnar Alex Holzwarth, še ni jasno, ali se bo imenoval preprosto (in izvirno) Rhapsody, ali bodo delovali pod novim imenom. /P.G./
