Zero Gravity (Rebirth and Evolution) is the only studio album by Italian symphonic metal band Turilli Lione Rhapsody. It was released on July 5, 2019 via Nuclear Blast.^{[1] [2]} The album was funded by a crowdfunding campaign that the band had started on Indiegogo.^[3]

Unlike Rhapsody of Fire albums, which feature high fantasy narratives, Zero Gravity is not a concept album and its lyrics deals with scientific, spiritual and philosophical themes. Both Lione and Turilli say that the album represents a new artistic view of the band (hence the Rebirth and Evolution subtitle), by modernizing their sound without losing the original essence of Rhapsody's music.
