Video of rare 'Fire Tornado' seen in Brazil

• Firetornado in Brazil.

A rare fire tornado has been seen in the Brazilian state of Sao Paolo. A whirlwind of flame, spiralling several metres high, danced across burning fields, bringing traffic to a halt on a nearby highway. This unusual phenomenon has been caused by a combination of wildfires and strong dry winds following weeks of drought in the country. Authorities in Brazil are struggling to contain the fires and have banned farmers from burning waste from the sugar cane harvest.

• Vuurtornado in Brazilie

Een grote draaikolk van vuur. Zo zag de vuurtornado eruit die dinsdag over een veld in Brazilië raasde. In het Zuid-Amerikaanse land is het al weken erg warm en droog. Het heeft er zelfs al drie maanden niet geregend. Volgens deskundigen is het er nu net zo droog als in de Sahara-woestijn. Doordat er ook een harde wind waait ontstaan er veel branden, en nu dus zelfs een brandende tornado! De brandende windhoos verdween weer bijna net zo snel als hij gekomen was, maar zorgde voor een hoop opschudding. Door de rook konden automobilisten weinig meer zien en ontstond een grote file. Er raakte niemand gewond door de tornado.

RHAPSODY OF FIRE – To release an epic 35-Minutes symphony!

RHAPSODY OF FIRE are going to release an epic monument called: „The Cold Embrace Of Fear – A Dark Romantic Symphony“. „For this special CD we composed a unique song of around 35 minutes divided in 7 „acts“. Looking at the title you can easily imagine that such long and epic song will show the most cinematic and orchestral side of our band, all our passion for the world of cinema we love so much and that always represented our main influence while composing the RHAPSODY’s music“, says Luca Turilli and adds: „Essentially it is a long huge song, sounding very symphonic, full of orchestral sections very soundtrack oriented, narrations and spoken parts. More than in other cases we tried to create a real movie atmosphere with very dynamic musical results, also thanks to the help of the English actors that gave voice to different charachters. You will just need to close your eyes and explore those new emotional dimensions we wrote the music for.“ The lyrics of this monumental, epic symphony are based on the „dark secret saga“ and represents a new chapter, directly connected with „The Frozen Tears Of Angels“.


Luca explains: „After the long journey to the icy frozen northlands at the borders of the known world, while facing concrete natural obstacles and the inner demons lying in the depths of their conscience, the five main charachters reach the ancient gothic fortress of Har-Kuun, a real monument of evil trapped between ice and snow, the mystic place where the Erian’s book could be finally found. „The Cold Embrace Of Fear“ tells about the entrance of those bravehearts in the ancestral world of Har-Kuun and the dramatic search for the holy book of the angels, only possible way to understand something more about the dark secret threatening the whole known world. Also in this case I liked to create particular „bridges“ connecting the new chapter of the saga with our modern life on the basis of symbolism, ancient wisdom and spiritual evolution. To someone who knows something about modern psychology and the study of the different „self“, the hidden geometries and gothic labyrinths of Har-Kuun will reveal themselves very clearly.“ Once again Christopher Lee was chosen for the spoken parts as a main narrator. „We couldn’t imagine to release something like this without his fundamental partecipation. Sir Lee is one member of the RHAPSODY OF FIRE‘s family since a lot of time and we love him not only as an actor but also for the man he is. Because of his great and majestic personality he has surely the aura of a king of the ancient times".


This extraordinary release, will hit the stores on October 15th for a special price.
