Turilli / Lione Rhapsody is an Italian symphonic metal band formed on December 5, 2018 by former Rhapsody of Fire members Luca Turilli and Fabio Lione. The lineup also includes former Rhapsody of Fire members Alex Holzwarth, Patrice Guers, and Dominique Leurquin. Prior to the band's formation, the same lineup performed under the Rhapsody moniker for the 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour, which celebrated 20 years of the original band's existence.[2] On the same day that the band formed, the band started a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to fund their debut studio album.

The first intention, after the end of the Rhapsody farewell tour, was to continue with the name Zero Gravity but the promoters strongly recommended that Turilli and Lione continue with the name Rhapsody.[3]

Turilli and Lione branded their new band's music style as a "new generation of symphonic metal" combined with progressive, electronic and even ethnic elements and based on their artistic mantra "Rebirth and Evolution", emphasizing the clear intention to abandon the power metal of the beginnings while evolving their sound into something different, modern and innovative.

At the end of December 2018, Turilli and Lione entered the studio to record their new band's debut album Zero Gravity (Rebirth and Evolution), which was released on July 5, 2019.[4][5][6]
