About

Blind Guardian

With a steady evolution from their early days as a speed metal band to their current, renowned musical alchemy of glory, drama, and grandiosity, Germany’s Blind Guardian have long since made their mark as the world’s definitive melodic/progressive rock band. For many, they need no introduction, as the band possesses a track record and back catalogue of classic staples that perhaps only Iron Maiden can match. Called everything from heavy metal bards to modern-day minstrels, Blind Guardian possess the ability to transport their legions of fans to new landscapes with their majestic songwriting, fantastically themed lyrics, and their meticulous, emotion-packed music.

=========

From its early days as a speed metal group to a much more ambitious unit
experimenting with choirs, orchestras, epic arrangements and fantastical
imagery, Blind Guardian has become one of the reigning acts of the European
metal scene. One of Germany's most popular musical exports, Blind Guardian
has been banging heads with their brand of metal for twenty years.

Battalions of Fear, the group's 1988 album, helped spread the word beyond the
band's home country and by 1990's Tales From the Twilight World, the Krefeld
quartet was drawing hundreds of people to its shows. Japanese metal fans went
crazy for 1992's Somewhere Far Beyond, leading to Blind Guardian's first live
release, Tokyo Tales. By the 1995 album Imaginations from the Other Side the
band was a force to be reckoned with in Europe as well. Central and South
America soon succumbed to the power of Blind Guardian as well, as did North
America, where the group's shows began attracting thousands of metal fans.
Fly, the act's latest and first for the Nuclear Blast label, is another
full-fledged metal extravaganza filled with Blind Guardian's trademark
bombast, flexibility, dynamics, heavy grandeur and unrelenting catchiness.
