Vision Divine
Vision Divine is a Power Metal band from Italy formed in 1998 as a side project of Labyrinth's guitarist Carlo Andrea "Olaf Thorsen" Magnani, which also features Rhapsody of Fire's (in that moment, simply Rhapsody) singer Fabio Lione. The band had many lineup changes, with Olaf as the only constant member.
They are currently in a hold-on, due to Olaf's return to Labyrinth and Fabio Lione's return to Rhapsody of Fire.
