From Chaos to Eternity is the ninth full-length studio album by the Italian symphonic power metal band Rhapsody of Fire. It was released in June 17, 2011 via Nuclear Blast. This is the last album to feature long-time guitarist/songwriter Luca Turilli, bass guitarist Patrice Guers, and session guitarist Dominique Leurquin, who all left the band on good terms in August 2011 to found Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, the last album with Christopher Lee as narrator, and the only album with guitarist Tom Hess.
It is the last album to be based on a fantasy saga, a concept originating from the band's 1997 debut, Legendary Tales. It is also supposed to be the last one to be based in a fantasy universe only. Due to Hess leaving the band in 2013 and not being replaced, it is the only album by the band with two guitarists recognized as full-time members.
The song "From Chaos To Eternity" was listed in the top 100 album charts in many countries around the world, such as Japan, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France and many others.
All lyrics written by Luca Turilli except track 10 by Bruce Dickinson; all music composed by Turilli and Alex Staropoli except track 10 by Dickinson and tracks 3 and 9 which also includes music from Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata N.1.
After Iras had read Erian's Book, he discovered the secret that was threatening the known world from Nekrons 7th Black Book. During one of the final battles between heaven and hell; Thanor the Black Dragon had betrayed Nekron by telling the angels where the son of Kron was hidden to them. When Kron learned of Thanor's betrayal his rage cracked the Earth. Thanor was captured and tortured, but before being killed his eyes had been ripped out of his face. Iras and his companions finally understood. They remembered the stone dragon without eyes guarding Erians book inside the fortress of Har-Kuun, and realized it was indeed Thanor himself.
