Blind Guardian

Musical Group

Blind Guardian is a German power‑metal band formed in 1984, known for epic, melody‑driven albums and frequent literary/Tolkien references. Their work ranges from early speed‑metal to large‑scale, choir‑and‑orchestra arrangements.

Core members mentioned across reviews and verifiable sources include Hansi Kursch (vocals, formerly bass), André Olbrich (guitar), Marcus Siepen (guitar) and Thomen Stauch (drums). The band is frequently described as originating from Krefeld. Producer Flemming Rasmussen is credited in reviews for work on Imaginations From the Other Side.

DeBaser reviews celebrate Blind Guardian's epic power‑metal peak (Imaginations From the Other Side, Nightfall in Middle‑Earth) while noting mixed reactions to later, more orchestral experiments. Reviewers highlight strong songwriting, Hansi Kursch's distinctive vocals, complex choirs/arrangements, and energetic live performances.

For:power metal fans, metalheads interested in epic/symphonic metal, Tolkien‑inspired music listeners

 I looked closely at the mirror and gazed through it: I saw a fantastic world made of ruined houses and skies dominated by dragons moving from one side to the other.
