BLIND GUARDIAN - Architects Of Doom (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@biorythmicshifter]

His voice is unbelievable. The harmonies are absolutely stunning. He is unmatched in metal as far as sheer technical ability goes. His range, tone, distortion, vibrato and projection are one in a million. This guy was born to sing. Kick ass tune!

This is one of the best metal songs of the year. Hell, The God Machine probably has like three tracks in the top 10 best metal songs of 2022. What a great album

[@donk2427]

100% agree. The opening four are such killer tunes.

Voted best album of 2022 by Metal Archives users.

[@Maria-hy3py]

that little riff or something around 4:06 - *chef's kiss*

[@Limonelguey]

The God machine is basically a fusion of their speed metal days, power metal, and the bombastic direction that started on a night at the opera.

[@Melkor1205]

Exactly! A best of Guardian ^^ Love it!

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

Yup and I'm here for it! They took out everything that i hated from a night at the opera and onward and kept all the stuff i loved. can't wait for the release! oh wait it was released a few days ago! omg yes!

[@lufix4969]

In my opinion they shouldn't have published almost half of the album before final release. The problem is, that's the better half, thus the final product looks like well-known bangers + some fillers. "Architects of Doom" may be good, but there is still 4 tracks remaining. Also the album is somewhat short, comparing to the recent band discography.

Architects of Doom lyrics Will they remember? Meet the artificial foe at war Will claim the stars Stand up and fight There's a price to pay I can hear the death bell ring Be no fool, better think twice Fire It all starts again Cylons seal our fate Our legacy We're in the limelight of God We're in the limelight Of it all We're in the limelight It's too late It's at stake We're the damned They drowse They hide from themselves Inside Can we break the cycle? Reveal the old secrets Behold The watcher in the sky Find a new home Roam in space Let us flee into the unknown As it seems They're still dreaming The Architects of Doom They will say Just keep your faith Beyond the veil We'll find the blue star And they will say That there's treason The system's out of control Yes, they say There was a plan So cruel We better learn to understand Now overcome your inner fear Clear your mind Rip off their mask of treason Meet the artificial foe Recall Sacred scrolls Hold wicked forms of truth Wave after wave They come in Gods of a new line They're in control Gods of a new kind There's no hope But the miracle one The crime of the century Madness has grown Don't downsize the deeds of the genius Meet the trial of gods Watcher in the sky Feels no sorrow Feels no shame Feeds the beast Feeds the insane As it seems They're still dreaming The Architects of Doom They will say Despite the light Behold the beauty of the black star And they will say That there's treason Their vision's ready to grow They will say That there is hope We can prevail We will survive Seek the sign Find Jupiter's Eye Reason is in control Remove the prisoner And violate her mind There's heresy in every age and time Brings down our idols and ideals There's no grace in war On trial Pure Hybrid child The final five Revealed now We're hiding our secrets Behold The watcher in the sky Reign of fire Reign of blood The purge, it is not over yet They will say better dream on The Architects of Doom They will say Just keep your faith Beyond the veil We'll find the blue star They will say Better dream on It's nowhere safe You should know They will say We all are facing doom The harbinger of death bears truth Hybrid child Hybrid child Hybrid child Stay alive Be the sacrificial lamb Once more

@@magnus0163 Battlestar Galactica, there's several references along the way especially "Cylons", "Jupiter's Eye", and the overall story implied. But BG sometimes takes a bit of a free interpretation soo this may apply to something else interely.

This is something absolutely mind-blowing and unexpected. Need more time to process 😬😬😬 Appreciate that Blind Guardian finally found a way to good music videos and production of themselves. Good costumes and amazing embience. Dear Bards, please, make more music videos with stories in the future. And about the song... Well, it's even more intense than other singles. Fast and furious. Bravo!

[@-Ruben]

I don't like music videos and metal videos are even worse than the rest but I would love if Blind guardian did more videos because that way they would be more popular and more people could listen to their music. With one good video they would gain a lot of love from people who didn't know them 😁

[@cheezdoodle96]

Something about Blind Guardian's music, style and atmosphere just touches me to my very core. I hold such an intense love for them that I find hard to put into words. Ever since first playing _Sacred 2_ and actually _meeting_ (well "meeting", but still) Hansi, André, Marcus and Frederik I've been in love. Listening to «Sacred Worlds» and watching that _epic_ music video over and over, showing it to all my friends, discovering their other stuff (first song I listened to outside of _Sacred 2_ was «Lord of the Rings»), buying _Robot Unicorn Attack: Heavy Metal_ instead of the original and being Team Inferno in RUA2 exclusively because of Blind Guardian and «Battlefield»… A dream of mine is to one day own every single Blind Guardian release on vinyl. Oh, that's going to be one marvellous day, my friends. Hansi's voice and delivery still gets me like no other… Absolutely _wonderful_ stuff, just _wonderful,_ and I cannot begin to express how much joy it brings me that Blind Guardian are still around, still as fantastic as they have always been.

[@oohtobeagooner852]

Another reason why Blind guardian are my favourite band. I was late to the party with this brilliant outfit, discovering them when At The Edge Of Time came out and it blew me away. Immediately bought everything I could and played catch up. Been my top band ever since...I just love everything about them and the awesome vibey creativity. Thanks for another killer album guys ❤

La gente escucha tremolo picking y se alucina. Ellos tienen rolas como esta en todos los discos que han sacado, en todos. El disco es progresivo. Lo que se puede sacar de esta rola es que Hansi aun conserva bastante fuerza en esa Voz como para cantar con cojones. De hecho, en este disco le iba a meter vocales de Death Metal pero a los otros miembros de la banda no les agradaba la idea y por eso no las hay.
