"Rhapsody has slaughtered their foes in the genre with another well-instrumentated, powerful release, Dawn Of Victory.Holy Thunderforce: A fairly typical, fast Rhapsody song.Dargor, Shadowmaster Of The Black Mountain: One of Rhapsody's heavier songs. The best of the three included on this EP, it presents a good structure that includes both melodic choruses and solid riffs, with nice harpsichord, flute, synth, piano, and violin portions.Rage Of The Winter (Symphonic Version): This brings us back to the climactic choral/orchestral compostitions of Symphony Of Enchanted Lands.If I were to ignore my bias against the purpose of singles, I'd say this was at least a good representation of Dawn Of Victory. However, If you like Rhapsody, you would've purchased the full album and should just skip this single since it offers nothing very exclusive. Their music is too great to own just three songs without missing out."
