Live Action Sonic there are live videos of Demons & Wizards playing Burning Times & I Died For You from the tour they did last year (2019), but if you look here on UA-cam you can also find live audio of Demons & Wizards playing A Question Of Heaven and Travel In Stygian from their debut album tour in 2000. The show from Paris in 2000 is the one I’m mentioning with the audio, definitely worth checking out!
I am a die hard fan of both Iced earth and blindguardian....these musicians just keep growing and getting better and better...almost supernatural....WOW!!!!
I was a kid when I picked up a Demons and Wizards cd in a local music shop. That was my gateway to Blind Guardian and Iced Earth and all the amazing things both bands had to offer. I feel privileged to still be listening to such amazing musicians today. Thank you all!!
I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.
Demons and wizards is always a treat Sometimes a song can be about love and loss and the inherent selfish darkness that resides in humanity soul Sometimes it's about dudes turning into wolves
Wild is the call For the unspoiled soul Look deep in my eyes There is something so strong I am you! You think you can defy me Resisting all along But I am always with you I catch you when you fall So take a look How far you've come It's my intention You grow Just know no fear and trust me Dead winter comes For the darkness is thick You won't be alone The full moon It howls I am you! There is something unknown I don't fear it anymore! Wrap your arms around me and know Like grey wolves in winter Our pact is ever strong Now your instincts have found me The chase is on Just know You're not alone Forever you're free I may dwell in silence Oh, I may come to feed Let me out now The trial of your soul The pain lingers on As you bleed For the chase Feel the power rise within you The full moon's glow And you transform The beast within you Rise to rule And you transform So find the prey and lead me I'll know The hunt is all seasons The raven and the wolf Spread your dark wings around me The chase is on Just know You're not alone, forever you're free I may dwell in silence Oh, I may come to feed Let me out now The trial of your soul The pain lingers on As you bleed For the chase Feel the power rise within you The full moon's glow And you transform The beast within you Rise to rule And you transform
Jon still writes amazingly chugging riffs and Hansi some amazing melodies. And I love the production of his vocals. Like back in the days! Please keep that sound for the next BG album!
@@jimkirk2527 That's not true. He is a lot older that's why he doesn't have the range like he used to, that's true but he has way more control over his voice right now than ever. Also his vocals on Legacy of the Dark Lands are for sure the best he's ever done
Astonishing! Hansi's voice and choruses are incredible, his voice is aging like the great wine, his voice is similar to the 90's, wow! Jon's triple riffs are awesome, great production and mix in this song, i'm looking forward to hearing the new album! February, 21st is here in a few days!
I actually prefer this new voice to his 90's voice just by a little bit. Technically it is better. I do like the previous 2 previously released tracks better than this one tho.
@@magdachlebicka3895 Agreed. Although the 15 years in between made me fear never again to hear a D&W Album. Less good, more fun: I laughed half of the Video. As fantastic a singer as Hansi is, he simply cant do serious Vids and be "believable" ^^ better this way around though, too many bands nowadays whose only great stuff are their videos...
While I was watching this clip I was literally thinking about what it would feel like seeing this with thousands of people at one of those huge European metal festivals.
Imigine it. You're back in high school and an army of wolf shirts and jorts come marching at you blasting this exact song through the speaker in one if their backpacks while they chant along.
folks call this is a bromance, but I see it more of a pair of musicians who found each other, and they know exactly how good they are together. separately they are awesome as hell. but when combined, they have the power to twist fates most musicians will never find this in all their careers or lifetimes. my dog died about 12 hours after I heard this song. he passed in his sleep at my feet while I was gaming. this song was playing when I noticed it. he slept in the corner of my knees every night for a decade. I miss him, but this song will always make me remember my him so. ty for that
The bromance comments are not that uncalled for, these dudes met in the tour and had such a strong bond they created a band. That's not a common thing, they're probably very good friends too, and calling it a bromance is just the current generation's way of making light-hearted fun
He didnt make a mistake. He stood up for what he believed in. The media tried to make it out like hes a part of this racist group conspirarising to over throw our government. Thats bullshit. He stormed that building for change. Besides. BLM supporters and ANTIFA or anyone who isnt a white person is allowed full reign to burn cities down and released if even arrested so wtf.
I have been a huge fan of both Iced Earth and Blind Guardian since 1995 when Iced Earth came out with Burnt Offerings and Blind Guardian came out with Imaginations From The Other Side. I had turned 16 years old that year. All these years later we finally get a third album from Demons And Wizards and so far I love what I have listened to. Jon Schaffer is just a beast of a rhythm guitar player and Hansi Kursch is still a banshee of a singer.
The production is IMMENSE! the songs sound HUGE. Hansi is killin it, and the guitars have a really smooth, clean crunch to them. Cannot wait for the rest of the album!!
@CNNisISIS Let's not give the verdict before listening to the entire album a couple of times. At the end of the day it's thanks to the new album that you get to hear the oldies in a concert again.
@CNNisISIS I dunno it sounds fairly bad by the first two albums standards. I have to admit I do put those two on a bit of a pedistal but going off of diabolic and this I'm not particularly interested in the full album.
Thank you for making the quarantine more bearable, seems this album was put out in the right time. We need this kind of power in our soul more than ever. \m/
I had no clue about this band at all. Did look for my normal Nightwish or IronMaiden. Suddenly youtube dicides to show me commersal for this. Ok, I check. Let me say like this, I will be listening more to this. Amazing. This is great. I love the gituars. Not that young so I have heard lot of music, this sticks out.
I see two worgens from Gilneas somewhere in the ice of Northrend :) "Winter is coming, and the night is dark and full of terrors" A new song of your favorite band - what Valentine’s Day gift can be better?..
After the Diabolical music video, I'm just really wanting to see Hansi and John do a Good Omens song with music video tbh. Their chemistry is so perfect.
oh. what. smiles.... smiles bigger... smiles really big. grinning ear to ear. music brings happiness to a wayward soul this is really demons and wizards! fuck yes. it's over and I just want more.... moar!! moar!!!!
Awesome! I remember when their debut was released, 20yrs ago, I was in high school and luckily a true Metal record stored existed back then! Seriously remember it like yesterday, how excited I was to hear Jon and Hansi make an album together!!
It's more "romantic" for sure cause James and Lars have been..."married" for almost 40 yeas now. You know what happens to couples with kids sometimes (i.t.c. Kirk and whoever bassist was post Cliff).
Proof that metal has no age limit.
Jon...I will always love your music...That is all.
I will love him even more after he showed that he is a real person and not just a scared leftist parrot.
The more i think about it what Jon did was pretty metal!
Agree or disagree he stood up for what he believes in.
Yeah and they will love him in jail for his stupidity and his Virgin ass
@@EngelinZivilBO Jon loves your mommy - in and out of jail
Finally Hansi is on a "Iced Earth"...

Jon needs to be a "Blind Guardian" now
@Live Action Sonic I think they did some at Wacken 2019, might be an idea to see if there's any good videos.
@@dammitdurza4489 If you're talking about being in the band they already have a rhythm guitarist in Marcus Siepen.
Mitch McKillip it was a pun
I am a die hard fan of both Iced earth and blindguardian....these musicians just keep growing and getting better and better...almost supernatural....WOW!!!!
Hansi could sing a menu and I'd listen to that a few hours a day
Hahahahah!!!
:DDDDDD
Eat the spring rolls and egg drop soup.
Eggggg foooo young,
And beef lo mein
chomp, chomp, chomp
Not Hansi, but Nanowar of Steel's attempt at a Blind Guardian-esque song can definitely give you that :D
@@NexusrexDev what song lol!
Hansi and Jon are the D&D characters we all wanted to play.
Now, that I've heard it, I can't unhear it:
Jon! Jon! Jon! Jon! Jon! Jon!
Now I hear it too... Jon, what have you done... you should have been wiser.
I was a kid when I picked up a Demons and Wizards cd in a local music shop. That was my gateway to Blind Guardian and Iced Earth and all the amazing things both bands had to offer. I feel privileged to still be listening to such amazing musicians today. Thank you all!!
Will never forget, having ' night fall in middle earth' whilst playing final fantasy, and kagero.
His voice will raise me from the dead
Dude thats exactly how I found them! Except I found Iced Earth before Blind Guardian.
Funnily enough, the same goes for me.
First year at University, finding a Demons and Wizards CD discounted 2001....never looked back from Metal. ^^
@@ferdinandhumperdinck165 A path of no return, i was 18 years old when i entered , now i am forty
bro same. Crimson king was the first CD i ever bought
We will make a new album but we want two things :
John wants to be crucified upside down
Hansi wants to be in Game of Thrones
This comment made my day
I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.
@@edmundsackbauer2284 More like the shield that guards the realms of DEMONS & F**KING WIZARDS!!!
lol that was good
@@edmundsackbauer2284 Plus, he already was the Dragon Reborn
Demons and wizards is always a treat
Sometimes a song can be about love and loss and the inherent selfish darkness that resides in humanity soul
Sometimes it's about dudes turning into wolves
Aw so happy they included shots of them laughing and having fun.
Best song on the album.
Wild is the call
For the unspoiled soul
Look deep in my eyes
There is something so strong
I am you!
You think you can defy me
Resisting all along
But I am always with you
I catch you when you fall
So take a look
How far you've come
It's my intention
You grow
Just know no fear and trust me
Dead winter comes
For the darkness is thick
You won't be alone
The full moon
It howls
I am you!
There is something unknown
I don't fear it anymore!
Wrap your arms around me and know
Like grey wolves in winter
Our pact is ever strong
Now your instincts have found me
The chase is on
Just know
You're not alone
Forever you're free
I may dwell in silence
Oh, I may come to feed
Let me out now
The trial of your soul
The pain lingers on
As you bleed
For the chase
Feel the power rise within you
The full moon's glow
And you transform
The beast within you
Rise to rule
And you transform
So find the prey and lead me
I'll know
The hunt is all seasons
The raven and the wolf
Spread your dark wings around me
The chase is on
Just know
You're not alone, forever you're free
I may dwell in silence
Oh, I may come to feed
Let me out now
The trial of your soul
The pain lingers on
As you bleed
For the chase
Feel the power rise within you
The full moon's glow
And you transform
The beast within you
Rise to rule
And you transform
Excellent
It is like lycanthropy music to take on transformation
It's great!!
Typical Jon Schaffer lyrics
I love it bro
John Schaeffer has the right hand of doom - people always talk about Hetfield's right hand picking technique, but damn, Schaeffer is Metal pro/legend!
Too bad he's a fascist.
Hails and solidarity to Jon Schaffer from Greece 🤘🤘
I grew up to Hansi's music. This is a gift. ❤️
@Angelos - I love hearing and watching Jon and Hansi rock together! They have great chemistry!
Angelos Loukatos I went they concert in Chicago. Was amazing.
So do i, i love Hansi's voice, Blind Guardian and all his projects since 1998.
I wish I grew up with their music. I was born in '94 and only discovered them a year-and-a-half ago.
I will never get bored of Hansi's voice. He is the man.
Jon still writes amazingly chugging riffs and Hansi some amazing melodies. And I love the production of his vocals. Like back in the days! Please keep that sound for the next BG album!
Everything these two touch is golden. Both so talented within this band and in blind guardian and iced Earth too! Super stoked for the 21st!!!!😍
Hansi absolutely at his peak right now
True! I hope he can keep it going!
Word is Stu Block may be 1 to help with the Twilight Orchestra live project. Hansi said he couldn't sing it alone.
Weird, his voice sounds very weak compared to the old times and this is studio with all its little helpers.
@@jimkirk2527 That's not true. He is a lot older that's why he doesn't have the range like he used to, that's true but he has way more control over his voice right now than ever. Also his vocals on Legacy of the Dark Lands are for sure the best he's ever done
No way. He has nothing close to the range he once had. On the Imaginations tour, he couldn’t do any of the choruses in the right octave
Astonishing! Hansi's voice and choruses are incredible, his voice is aging like the great wine, his voice is similar to the 90's, wow! Jon's triple riffs are awesome, great production and mix in this song, i'm looking forward to hearing the new album! February, 21st is here in a few days!
I actually prefer this new voice to his 90's voice just by a little bit. Technically it is better. I do like the previous 2 previously released tracks better than this one tho.
Perordered it and all man so fecking excited rofl
@@WALDENSOFTWARE close your eyes and listen, the video distracts
Goals: having a band just to promote your bromance
Considering some photos of them two I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be true...
@@magdachlebicka3895 Agreed. Although the 15 years in between made me fear never again to hear a D&W Album.
Less good, more fun: I laughed half of the Video.
As fantastic a singer as Hansi is, he simply cant do serious Vids and be "believable" ^^
better this way around though, too many bands nowadays whose only great stuff are their videos...
@@ferdinandhumperdinck165 Hansi's a bad actor lmao and his face is too nice to look badass
How this vid only has 14k likes is disrespectful. This song is a masterpiece 🔥
bro stormed the capital
More like Demons & Blizzards
Snow and Ice is dope af, friend.
Waheeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
Obviously Iced Earth, but I'd recommend Mystic Prophecy.
Nailed it
So epic and expressive! Hansis voice is so amazing!!!
Imagine the "cha cha"sound from the audience in their concerts
While I was watching this clip I was literally thinking about what it would feel like seeing this with thousands of people at one of those huge European metal festivals.
Getting goosebumps at the mere thought of it!!! They're gonna slay it at open air festivals!!
@@a.delices5613 absolutely predictable
@@a.delices5613 They always do. This could replace the Valhalla chant (Only during Demons & Wizards concerts of course)
Now we can be sure we'll never witness this thing happening.. oh, John
2:03 Hansi looks like he's having a blast
so good to hear hansi singing a bit more agressive again over jon's riffs!
One of the greatest bands in existence.
For me personally - the greatest band. This side project deserves to be main, I think.
All bow to the Iced Blind Earth Guardians !!!
I got out of bed to watch this the instant it was uploaded.
This song goes great with my "Three Wolves Howling at the Moon" sweat shirt!
those never get old, do they? :)
Imigine it. You're back in high school and an army of wolf shirts and jorts come marching at you blasting this exact song through the speaker in one if their backpacks while they chant along.

@@dopemanricky7196 Well, that image looks alot like my everyday-life 15 years ago :P

A little different riff, but wooow such a good song. A little surprised that we get such a fantastic song again. Hansi sings as well as usual.

Unsure what was so magical about the first Demons and Wizards album, but they've really never topped that.
Maybe because it sounded more like Iced Earth than this one
Schaffer will always be the man. Men can make mistakes and still come back from them as long as they own it 🤘🏻

Die Stimme von Hansi Kürsch erkennt man unter tausenden... Wo immer er dabei ist einfach grandios. Super, weiter so, gerne mehr von euch!
What I really REALLY would love to get one day is an album with both Hansi and Matt Barlow singing. Maybe Jon could arrange something.
I'm glad they're making music together again. Hansi's voice is awesome as ever!!
Best Valentine's gift ever
really!
Hansi is actually the real Midas. Best vocalist ever.
Live, He is very, very bad.

2 Legenden vereint. Egal was es da politisch gibt..... Die Musik zählt 🤘🍺
The solo just kicking off at 2:45, boy i sure wish it went off for 20 seconds longer or up to 23 minutes.
They really are just so cute together.
Hahahahaha
the best bromance ever
Hansi sounds incredible.
hansi et jon, combo gagnant !
Hail Jon Schaffer.
The production is IMMENSE! the songs sound HUGE. Hansi is killin it, and the guitars have a really smooth, clean crunch to them. Cannot wait for the rest of the album!!
i thought i can't never hear something like this anymore in 2020
Alternative title to the video: "where we have been for the past 20 years"

Im so positively surprised... Not only the snow gave me goosebumps! This is one of the best releases 2020 so far by far!
Wait WHAT! There's a DEMONS AND WIZARDS ALBUM COMING OUT IN A WEEK? >:D
Christmas is really early this year!
Yusss. hanzi is the man. Blind guardian and this. I just... so good.
Saw D&W before covid hit in Seattle. Greatest concert of my life.
I mean, it looks hard seeing through that blizzard... protecting his friend.
You could say, he's a ...... blind guardian...
...
Wow! Dieses Lied ist einfach so verdammt gut🤘🏻😄
As metal singers get older they get better like new wine.
Hansi has such a perfect control over his voice that in this he sounds more like the previous demons and wizard than the last bg album.
He sounded great on the last Blind Guardian.
@@AcidWords1 absolutely!!! In the underworld is a fucking masterpiece. I just meant it was different.
Thank you for making the quarantine more bearable, seems this album was put out in the right time. We need this kind of power in our soul more than ever. \m/
Demons & Wizards...playing on an iced earth...
Under the eyes of a blind guardian
They had before more unique sound
The older they get, the cooler they become. Nice job men.
I had no clue about this band at all. Did look for my normal Nightwish or IronMaiden.
Suddenly youtube dicides to show me commersal for this. Ok, I check.
Let me say like this, I will be listening more to this. Amazing. This is great. I love the gituars.
Not that young so I have heard lot of music, this sticks out.
The guitar work is John's work check out iced earth something wicked or horror show
Yes the force is with this one.
I see two worgens from Gilneas somewhere in the ice of Northrend :)
"Winter is coming, and the night is dark and full of terrors"
A new song of your favorite band - what Valentine’s Day gift can be better?..
Wasn't the the expansion that killed the game?
So impressive. Thank you Jon and Hanzi!
One week and the 15 year wait is over! The songs released so far have been great.
The time of the Wolf's Blizzard is here....Geralt of Rivia approves !!
This song bleeds the emotion out of me 😢💝
I bet I’ll play this record for 10 years straight
This is the new power metal band.great song of winter war.
After the Diabolical music video, I'm just really wanting to see Hansi and John do a Good Omens song with music video tbh. Their chemistry is so perfect.
as much as i agree Jon would be a lovely Crowley, Hansi is just not Aziraphale haha
я эту вещь уже раз 100000 прослушал когда она вышла 👍 супер
If I could I'd have these guys make an album based off all my favorite fantasy settings, malazan series, dragon age, dark souls, among others.
Hansi realmente maravilloso
I got into Iced Earth with the Glorious Burden. I've since explored and I can only say this kicks ass!!!
This is my favorite of the new songs. It brings memories of the old albums. which makes me happy
Όσο το ακούς γίνεται καλύτερο.....εντάξει τι περιμένετε οι άνθρωποι έχουν γράψει τόσες δισκαρες.σεβασμος
Powerful
This is fing awesome. Has that epic classic sound with a modern edge ive been looking for. Awesome!
Gave the album a spin today. A fantastic album. Bravo!
III is an awesome album, very well done guys, you both are legends.
Love it
It's so amazing to see this band taking this seriously! They're so good!
by the gods and divines, this is pure magic! so glad to have this epic duo back
Awesomeness!! 🎤🎸🎶👍
The Orchestral Album, guesting in Avantasia's "Moonglow", and new D&W. Hansi is on a roll!
He was on ayreon just before too
oh. what. smiles.... smiles bigger... smiles really big.
grinning ear to ear. music brings happiness to a wayward soul
this is really demons and wizards! fuck yes.
it's over and I just want more.... moar!!
moar!!!!
No surprise the members from Blind Guardian have side projects, sounds really good 🤘
Jon played the same riff for thirty years. That will make anyone go crazy
But he doesn't poop his pants daily like old bye done.
Badass song
The album of the year
Oh yes!!!!!
Getting better with ever listen!
Saw this elsewhere, but "Jon and Hansi: the bromance: the soundtrack"
Too funny
