The four bards have their origins in the small town of Krefeld in Germany. There the band was originally formed in 1985, under the name Lucifer´s Heritage. They have had the same lineup since (talk about friendship!). Lucifer's Heritage consisted of four skilled bards: Hansi Kursch, who played the bass; Andre Olbrich, who played the guitar; Markus Siepen, who also played guitar; Thomas Stauch, who played the drums. This band was obviously influenced by RPG Epic metal and Helloween. In the early days they recorded two demos: "Symphonies Of Doom" (1985) (wich wasn´t such a big hit), and "Battalions of Fear" (1986) (which was quite successfull). They were quite successful in German underground and lateron they changed their name to Blind Guard More...

Specifically, it details the doom of Camelot and the destruction of King Arthur's dream at the Battle of Camlann, where the king and his bastard son Mordred slew each other. Mortally wounded, Arthur was borne away to Avalon, where he shall remain in healing until England needs him once more.

Notes on lyrics | Reviewer: Squirrelloid ------ About the song Lord Of The Rings performed by Blind Guardian This is a wonderful adaptation of Tolkien's original poem, done with a beautiful musical backing. It should be noted there are multiple versions of this song. What follows describes the differences of each version from the printed text. As of this writing, the above lyrics do not agree with either version. The version on Tales from the Twilight Hall skips the bridge lines. (All lines beginning with "I'll keep the ring..."). It also changes a few minor words in the second verse. ("One ring FOR the dark lord's hand", and "In THE land so dark", changes in CAPS). This version plays for 3:18 minutes, and is the original version. The other version plays for 3:54 minutes, and is live. It has the bridge, but the first line drops the word "full". This version also replaces "gnomes" with "dwarves". It also uses "elfs" instead of "elves", amusingly enough. Both versions drop the word "for" from each line "Threatened for a long time" so its just "Threatened a long time". The change of gnomes to dwarves may be just for clarity, but it may also be for correctness. Tolkien used "gnomes" to refer to the Noldor, which are elves prominent in the Silmarillion. Context for Nightfall | Reviewer: Squirrelloid ------ About the song Nightfall performed by Blind Guardian While i could tell you the song is most excellent, more important for it (and other songs on the Nightfall in Middle Earth album) is fitting them into the context of the Silmarillion. Fortunately, this one is rather easily placed. After Ungoliant had consumed and poisoned the trees and Morgoth had stolen away the Silmarils, the elves and the Valar came upon the destruction and were dismayed to see the trees dead. The song begins by recounting the lamenting for the dead trees. However, while Feanor was unwilling to surrender the Silmarils to the Valar, he did want to check on them to make sure they were still locked safely away, and so he went to his home, where he found his father the king slain (by Morgoth) and the silmarils missing. Hence the "old king was slain". Following this, Feanor and his sons swore powerful oaths that none but they or their descendants should own or possess a Silmaril (the oaths in verse 2). Feanor had been banished for carrying weapons previously (hence "banished king"), but he was rightful ruler of the Noldor, and his words to his people inflamed their hatred and many committed to going after Morgoth. The Valar attempted to dissuade them, telling the Noldor that they would not be able to defeat Morgoth. ("Vala he is... then your oath's been sworn in vain"). But Feanor was a powerful speaker and bound his people to his will, and they set off to leave. Context for Lammoth | Reviewer: Squirrelloid ------ About the song Lammoth performed by Blind Guardian Instrumental isn't quite right. Its a yell of pain. In the Silmarillion, after Morgoth outright claims the Silmarils as his despite promising Ungoliant he'd feed her everything, she attacks him, having grown huge from the treasure she's consumed. He yells in pain and fear, and his Balrogs come to his aid and drive Ungoliant from him. The area in which this occurred was named Lammoth for his yell. Context for Into the Storm | Reviewer: Squirrelloid ------ About the song Into the Storm performed by Blind Guardian This is a dialog between Morgoth and Ungoliant based on Tolkien's Silmarillion. Planning vengeance upon the Valar for his previous defeat, Morgoth promised Ungoliant all the treasure to fill her belly to ensure her cooperation. While the elves and Valar were away at a festival, Morgoth and Ungoliant snuck into the holiest of places, where the two trees grew, and Morgoth had Ungoliant destroy the trees and poison their roots. Then, desiring the Silmarils, Morgoth took Ungoliant to Feanors home where his father Finwe yet was. Slaying Finwe, they broke into the vaults and stole many of the treasures therein, including the Silmarils. Morgoth and Ungoliant fled across the sea, and she continued to grow as she fed, and demanded more and more of the treasure. But she noticed Morgoth fed her only from one hand, and demanded to be fed whatever was in the other - but he would not release the Silmarils. In the song, the verses are Ungoliant and the bridges are Morgoth. The choruses are probably the Balrogs, who come to the aid of Morgoth when Ungoliant attacks him. AWESOME SONG! | Reviewer: Bl1ndGuard1anFan ------ About the song The Soulforged performed by Blind Guardian the vocals are astounding, the lyrics are awesome, and the tune is uplifting. but then again, why would you expect anything less than perfection from Blind Guardian? So don't be afraid | Reviewer: Prod ------ About the song The Bard's Song - In The Forest performed by Blind Guardian As goth, gabber and trance-girl say you: this is the best Blind's song. Review? | Reviewer: Stalemate ------ About the song Lord Of The Rings performed by Blind Guardian It doesn't say "seven rings to the Gnomes..." It Says "seven rings to the Dwarves in their halls made of stone..." Absolutely | Reviewer: The Demon ------ About artist/band Blind Guardian I love age of false innocense, this band rocks. Weill we have to wait ages again though for another album. Lets call for the Return of the Elven Kings (again) Why oh why | Reviewer: The Demon ------ About artist/band Blind Guardian Do people not review this band.
