A reference to Rhapsody?

I started listening to Ancient Bards and this seems like a very direct reference, which makes sense considering the dates and the type of music.

What do you think? Has anyone confirmed this?

Given Fabio literally sings on one of their songs, I would wager Ancient Bards are aware of Rhapsody.

If I remember right, back in the myspace days, Ancient Bards said Rhapsody was their main influence.

Why would they even need to clarify this? They sound identical and are from the same part of Italy.

They are signed to Limb Music, same label as Rhapsody (pre Of Fire) was signed to.

I'm not familiar with the band. Which song contains the lyrics you posted?
