Haven't seen thread like this...
Well,here's a little something I came across...
In early days,Blind Guardian were known as speed metal,but lately,they've been more like power/progressive metal...
They're band from Krefeld/NRW (sp?),and were formed in 1985...
Lyrics are using themes from tales,legends and even Tolkien stories...
Over the years,they started writing lyrics inspired with traveling bards...
Their discography is mixed,that is they were working together with some other bands forming Demons&Wizards (with founder of Iced Earth,one of my favorite bands),also were guests in Angra,Gamma Ray etc.
Actually,mostly just singer,but that's more than enough...
When they were formed,they were known as Lucifer's Heritage,and released two demos,Symphonies of Doom and Battalions of Fear...
Their other albums can be found easily,so I won't bother to post them here...
Hansi Kürsch - Vocals (Bass 1985-1995)
André Olbrich - Lead Guitar
Marcus Siepen - Rhythm Guitar
Frederik Ehmke - Drums
~ hope I got everyone names right ~
I'm not huge fan of these,but they do have decent songs...
But I can say that I enjoy in songs such as And the Story Ends,Anohter Holy War,The Bard's Song and similar to those...
Now,I'd like to hear other opinions about them...
