My mom gave me a great shirt for my birthday, the name of this band is in front, when I searched for it and find this, the value of this gift multiplied by 10 in my head
Longtime fan. This is probably one of the top 3 albums in Blind Guardian's discography, I can't stop listening to it. Bought it on vinyl and cassette both, planning to fly internationally to see it live in April. This band has inspired me to pursue writing and music in my spare time, even though I'm a little late to it. Kings of a genre.
ALL of Blind Guardian is what we wanted, deserved and loved. No matter the chosen musical style, all of their music is amazing anthems and masterpieces. After more than 30 years of career, I am still waiting to find their first song I disliked
@@gomongioWhats with you people thinking you “ deserve “ shit.? I dont understand this concept. If it was deserved BG would have given you the album for free.
Almost 1 year has passed since this beautiful gem was released, and I can't stop listening at least one song from it. My absolute favorite from this one is "Secrets of the American Gods", such a majestic and powerful tune. *BARDS WE ARE, AND BARDS WE FOREVER SHALL BE!* 🎶
OMG! I thought i was finished going on live shows, being too old n stuff. After listening to this i am suddenly looking for tour dates and merch. What an album! Amazing!
I am 40 and fan of Blind Guardian since the mid late 90s . This album is proudly standing among their top 3 albums ever. Cant wait to catch them on tour . Hope they will play this album on its entirety . Haven't seen them live for 20 years .
As someone who grew up as teenager with BG absolut best era : Somewhere Far Beyond, Immaginations from the Other Side and Nightfall in Middle-Earth i have to hard disagree. Just listen to their best of DVD from the 2003 Festival in Coburg (I was there and it was fantastic). I think whole of Immaginations from the other Side album almost every song is better than whats on this new CD here that is not bad but imo also nothing too special. OFC its your opinion so everything good. I just feel like you probably not been around in BG golden years when they even had their own Festival
@@lordad to discuss music is nonsense, simmilar to dancing to a painting. That being said, this album is less fairytale-y and more grown up (in the lack of better description). Themes are really good, the lyrics fantastic and music....wow. I am huge fan, i was listening to their albums in the 90s, but to hear them shred this hard again....awesome. But hey, to each his own ;)
@@rumo510 Apparently Hansi's other band did one about Szeth as Truthless ua-cam.com/video/7AEOxqK10p0/v-deo.html That's the only one I've found so far. Let me know if you find any others!
It's already 30 years I''m metalhead and even more in punk/straight edge hc music but I really appreciate this kind of high quality heavy/trash bands which keep going through the centuries. Greetings from France!
Ffff--!!! I just love this album so much that I use to play it several times a week. Heck, even thrice a day sometimes and that’s not something I’ve ever done before. I really love all the songs, but Destiny has really touched my soul. It soon became one of my favourite songs of the band… so well written, and it is infinitely better a song when I can truly get the lyrical references, which are highlighted by the spectacular composition. Thanks Kürsch and Olbrich for Destiny. I haven’t been this enthralled by a new song in years (for Western bands at least)
Unbelievable!!! Un-f-believable! I thought old bands can never make anything truly valuable. I thought that young-days-listening bands' (bands you've been listening to when you were young) new music can never hit you the same as their music when you were much younger. Damn, I was wrong! I'm surprized, amazed and satisfied Thank you guys for this album!
the word is Metatron.. a U.F.O. of fire.. a fireball.. the sun in the night the fire like water the light like water and fire.. the yellow like flashes the Black of the night like earth... thank to blind guardian for stay 4ever here
Much better than the albums before. Still not the Blind Guardian I learned to love as an 11 year old Tolkien fan back in 1999, but... yeah, it's okay. I think no one realistically expects from you to put out another Imaginations or Nightfall. Grüße nach Krefeld und so ;-)
This album is better than both Nightfall and Imaginations. At the Edge of Time is also better. You like those tso not because they are objectively better, just because of nostalgia. The last albums just have better production and finer compositions.
@@AugustSchroif What does "objective" means in this case? "Finer" compositions? If you like Blind Guardian from a...Nightwish point of view then it figures. Bright Eyes, Bards Song, Valhalla, Banism from Sanctuary, Mirror Mirror, Into the Storm, Welcome to Dying, Time What is Time and many others are straight to the point hitters. I personally like all eras of the band but the complexity of arrangements and orchestration or the cleaner production doesn't necessarily define "better" when it comes to music and especially when it comes to Metal.
Violent Shadows gives me very hard Way of the Kings vibes. Especially the Honor Chasm "The bridgeman can always cross the border Your choice to make, it's one more step Hear the chasm's calling"
Can't believe you're going to play in such a small place here in my city, as you'd fill the stadium easily. Aber danke schön! Blind guardian auf Brasilien, ist wunderbar!!!
El tercer TEMA es Brutal, me escuchado este disco varias veces, el Tercer Tema, mirando su Partitura (Pentagrama) en composición es una OBRA MAESTRA, es perfecto, una sincronización entre todos los instrumentos y HANSI, sencillamente perfecta y Magistral.. Pocos grupos despues de tantos años, más de 20 y 30, derepente te sacan una OBRA MAESTRA.
discazo, de lo mejor de estos ultimos años. magnifica la calidad compositiva y el buen gusto que tiene este album , se nota el trabajo y la dedicacion 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Even though they left out the orchestral arrangements that I loved in their previous albums, this is an amazing album and it's becoming one of my favorites.
Honestly didn't know Blind Guardian still made music. Haven't heard of them since i got A Night at the Opera gifted sometime in the late 2000s. For me it was one of those Albums where you think it's awesome but don't really want more. But this is still fantastic, i'll listen to them again!
ANATO burned me out when I first bought it and it got set aside. After many ages, I revisited A Night at the Opera and something clicked in my head. There is some incredible music on that album.
I remember that in my childhood, by chance, an angel with a soft voice appeared at the window of my room, but his body was so blurry and his shape was so distinct. 🙄
Born hundreds of millions of years ago in the corner of the universe, as if he were the only human being born by God, he invades the earth and tries to wipe out all of humanity, and he is a demon-like demon-like demon who is a murderous weapon with excellent talent for transformation, and Satan who has no humanity. Nonsense Devil
Hello, i'm David again (and i'm not little no), and i must say that this is they are wining with my efforts. We must find them, and i can't explain more for a while, this guidance seems still incredible for me. You don' t know who am i.
is that thing on the album holding the Spear of Longinus? (Eva reference). Also first time hearing these guys and i like them. i think UA-cam recommended this since I'm a long time symphony x and dream theater fan lol
If you like Tolkien listen to their album 'Nightfall in Middle-earth which is all about tha Silmarillion! They also have songs about Bladerunner, Wheel of Time and many other scifi & fantasy franchises, most recently adding onto their catalog with 'Blood of the Elves' on this album which is about the Witcher series :D Blind Guardian rule!
My brain could barely compute that it's not Blue Stahli, what a blast from the past! (Rhapsody of Fire is still cheesier thus more glorious though xd.) - Adûnâi
¡UHHHHHHHHHHHH SUENAN RE BIEN! Al menos voy por la primer canción. Ojalá valga la pena el álbum porque, si lo vale, iría a verlos el 16 de Noviembre en el Teatro Flores.
Sie sind immernoch gut drauf, meine Herren. Ihr Alter hat die Leidenschaft Ihrer musikalischen Begabung kaum reduziert. Sogar könnte man meinen, der Reifungsprozess hat sie beträchtlich erweitert sowie bereichert. Machen Sie bitte genauso weiter !😇
First:i don't have fear.i don't feel bad still after all. And i'm then KING, yes, this king about this discography.

I suppose that i was the strongest. This king about you don't want know nothing about him. Here am i.
It is just incredibly rare for a band to put out some of their best work AFTER 40 years together. This album is magnificent.
Fully agreed. This is one of their best albums yet, right up there with Nightfall in Middle-Earth and A Night at the Opera.
A Wizzard is never late , nor is he early, he records an amazing power metal album precisely when he means to
Okay, now I desperately want to re-watch "The Fellowship"! 😉

There's no such thing as late nor early in art, you create it exactly when you're ready for it.
Live show in April? East coast USA? I bought my tickets, too!
It's not like taking up boxing, mate. xD
What are the other 2 in your top 3?
fantastic album
A really powerful and agressive album. I think it's one of the best Blind Guardian's works.
THIS is the Blind Guardian we wanted and deserved! Thanks, guys!
I don't know if we deserved it but we definitely wanted it and got it.
Iijn 10:49 Mi u
As a people we dont deserve shit. We treat each other like garbage on a constant. Check that arrogance.

What an album! Amazing!
Me too, I need this tour
Wish I didn't live an ocean away!
yeah same.these songs are really amazing.imagine seeing them play this
US tour announced just a few days ago
Thank you for coming back to Cleveland!!! It was so fun, I love you all - discovering Blind Guardian literally changed my life!❤❤❤

Que privilégio seu, cara!
Conheci a banda há 15 anos, mas somente em novembro eu vou poder conhecer eles ao vivo 👏👏👏👏
This is an icredible album. Deliver Us from Evil is one of the band's best songs ever released - in my opinion.

Violent Shadows is about the Stormlight Archives series, which makes it even better. Bridge Four!
One of my favorite bands and one of my favorite authors! Do you know if they did any more songs based off Sanderson books?

I'm just fucking amazed at how fucking badass this album is. Every time I come back to listen to it I'm simply amazed.
Elesh Norn approves of your cover, and Nerv wants the lance back. That said, I enjoyed this
I wonder how BG would sound singing songs about mtg universe.
original artwork by Peter Mohrbacher!
One of the BEST Blind Guardian albums!! Simply spectacular!
This album is not bad, but I think it needs more to be the best.
@@LucianoFromEarth Indeed. The 2 ones before were better in my point of view. This one is to high-pitched, while the ones before were more melodic.
Yes. One of the best twelve studio albums of the band (including the one by the BG Twilight Orchestra)… I love them all
Just got it Tonight, so fuckun awesome!
Takes me back to hearing the very first album all those years ago!
Wicked !
Rock on SMFs!
Full of energy .. melodic - speed - Power … 👑👌🌪️🚀…. Abslut level 100% brutal
It's already 30 years I''m metalhead and even more in punk/straight edge hc music but I really appreciate this kind of high quality heavy/trash bands which keep going through the centuries.

Borknagar-Winter Thrice album i was like this for. Just great stuff all around.
Absolutely fantastic.
The album art, looks like the EVA 02 from Neon Evangelion with the spear
This is the best Blind Guardian album since... One moment... Could be this the best Blind Guardian album ever?
No, Nightfall in the Middle-Earth is absolutely untouchable :D
It doesn't touch Nightfall or Imaginations but definitely their best since at least At the Edge of Time.
No way.
Definitely one of the Blind Guardian albums ever!!
Yes. Period
A record to be remembered, bards!
All Will Be ONE !!!!
Boom! Going to see them Sunday 5/12/2024 in NYC!! Can't wait!
So, how was it? :D
@@samobertoncelj8010It was awesome. I was definitely impressed. They were so good.
I think I've not heard any new Blind Guardian song in the last 20 years.
And in the first few seconds, it's instantly unmistakably the classic sound.
Amazing album!!
Amazing!!! Fantastic!!!
I am lucky enough to have tickets to the Perth Australia show...gonnabe fantastic
Fu**ing Great!!
BLIND GUARDIAN LET'S GOOOOOOO
I fucking adore this album!
Oh my boys, WTH is this?
Amazing as f*ck
Outstanding album
Love the album, absolutely love the album art. Peter Mohrbacher has some absolutely sick art
35:00 I thought someone was playing Diablo 2, and I love it
So powerfull. Thks guys. ❤❤
Great album
100% PURE PERFECTION!!! \m/
One of my all-time favorite bands forever \m/
this stuff keeps getting better with each rotation
18:11 what a riff
Few bands have maintained such a high level of quality over the years. Blind Guardian are truly one of the crown jewels of the metal world.
One of the silmarilli ❤
Sí!!!!😊😊😊😊 Felíz Noviembre Buenos Aires❤ Abrazo!
For me, Blind Guardian is my favourite metal band, if not one of my favourite bands of all time.
When it comes to metal Germany produces winners..unlike world wars 😝🤘🤘
Probably for the best given what was tried in the second one lol
Blind Guardian never mistakes
Este álbum hace resucitar muertos, que maravilloso tenerlos de vuelta y con tanto poder 🤘
LIFE BEYOND THE (freakin fuckin) SPHERES!!!
Very Phyrexian.
_Glory to the Machine Orthodoxy!_
damn, their still kick ass:) beyond the spheres my favourite so far:)
Unbelievable!!!
