Blind
Guardian are one of the very few metal bands who have found a way to charm the
mainstream crown and this is no coincidence because they are simply amazing.
They are perhaps not the best metal band ever but the warmth and energy of
their music can hardly be found anywhere else. The most important element of
Blind Guardian is without a doubt the nothing else but brilliant vocals by
master magician Hansi Kürsch although the musicians behind him are also some
of the most skilled metal musicians in the world. The mix of heavy guitars,
acoustic strings, choirs, special effects and Hansi's very own voice creates
a unique atmosphere and Blind Guardian might be the only metal band whose
music could be described as cozy. "Tales From The Twilight World" is not the
best album from the band but compared to most other bands it is still great.
The first album "Battalions Of Fear" was in my opinion a little better but
that one was more straight-forward and based mostly on the guitars. Blind
Guardian has now started to experiment and develop a new sound that would
eventually lead up to the magnificent masterpiece "Nightfall In
Middle-Earth". The first four tracks on this album are of the same
breath-taking quality as before but then the sound gets a bit old towards the
end. Still this album has a place in metal history just like all other albums
from Blind Guardian, one of the few power metal bands with a style of their
own.
