Forget about Dragon Force and all the other bullshit fantasy metal bands that are around today. This is the real shit. It wasn't written to cash in on the growing speed metal trend, or in jest and irony. They live and believe this stuff. It was written in 1999, before being "metal" was cool and all you needed was a pair of tight pants that you still owned from your hipster/emo days and a bullet belt you bought at Hot Topic.
It is written by Luca Turilli. He is a virtually unknown guitar player from Italy, who also plays in Rhapsody/Rhapsody of Fire. His playing is out of control. You'll be hard pressed to find another guitarist who can play as fast and fluent as him and still play with so much feeling.
As for this song, it fucking rules. String instruments, crazy solos and pan flutes. Fucking pan flutes. They lyrics are absolutely rediculous and he blows up the moon at the end. Enjoy.
