Eternal Glory is a 1995 demotape released by Italian symphonic power metal band Rhapsody and their very first release as Rhapsody.

Contents

Early recordings

In October 1994, the band, named Thundercross at that time, had finished recording their first demo Land of Immortals and started sending it to a selection of European labels. By the end of that year, an offer from LMP label came up.

As Rhapsody

In 1995 the band had changed their name to "Rhapsody" and Eternal Glory was released as an official demo containing all the tracks from Land of Immortals plus three newly recorded songs.

Songs

Almost all of the tracks were edited and re-recorded in the band's following albums.

  • "Invernal Fury" was included in Legendary Tales under the name "Rage of the Winter".
  • "Warrior of Ice" was also included in Legendary Tales.
  • "Land of Immortals" was also included in Legendary Tales, but its intro got separated and it became another track, Virgin Skies.
  • "Tears at Nightfall" is an instrumental only track that was never re-recorded.
  • "Alive and Proud" became "Lord of the Thunder" in Legendary Tales.
  • "Holy Wind" was reproposed in the 1998 album Symphony of Enchanted Lands as "Riding the Winds of Eternity".
  • "Eternal Glory" was also reintroduced in Symphony of Enchanted Lands, but the one-and-a-half minute intro that had nothing but sounds of winds and rain got removed.
