As their world tour was set to start from Winter 2010 until Spring 2011, the creative band mates were composing another milestone in the history of RHAPSODY OF FIRE: an epic monument called: 'The Cold Embrace Of Fear - A Dark Romantic Symphony', which is 35 minutes in total over 7 acts! Parts of it were already composed while the recordings of 'The Frozen Tears Of Angels' took place, but a song of this particular length needed more time in the studio, so the focus on it was set after the release of their full length. The lyrics of this monumental, epic symphony are based on the 'Dark Secret' saga and represent a new chapter, directly connected with 'The Frozen Tears Of Angels'. Once again Christopher Lee was chosen for the spoken parts as a main narrator.
