BLIND GUARDIAN - Secrets Of The American Gods (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

[@HakkamDaRed]

Look. A power metal band in 2022 that can actually be epic and STILL put guitars in the front of their music, not just tons of synth. Love that so much !

[@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973]

Check out Avantasia, Hansi features on a few songs from their most recent album Moonglow and its kick ass

[@michaelmeyers4950]

You do realize that Blind Guardian was Epic since day 1 and never changed?

[@Jbainbridge5]

What's so bad about synth? Kind of made "the" dark sound: an instrument is an instrument? No, it is...

[@PauleraCast]

You said it all.

[@Robocat9000]

@@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973 Avantasia is my fave band. I hope Hansi comes back in the next album

[@peterbneto]

That's definitely one of the top 10 masterpieces of Blind Guardian. I feel like I could be easily listening to this song 20 years ago.. the band hasn't changed its essence one bit. This song is pure power.

[@PlanetShlorpian]

Not to mention that their older music has aged incredibly well, even the stuff they released way back in 1988.

[@mr-jacobsen]

This song is indeed a f***Ing masterpiece! One of those tracks that can help save the day, when everything else goes bad....

[@rozsek2353]

percisely! love it!

[@Lucrei.]

This one has some A Night at the Opera vibes too it, love to see it

[@w.f.s.6313]

Seems quite shallow to me...

[@leatheredlife4861]

Hansi sounds as powerful and clear as 30 years ago... I don't know how he manages this, that his voice doesn't get older. Amazing

[@joshuachristie6047]

Nothing is worse than a singer going out of key to reach places their voice can no longer find but Hansi has refused to play that game over the years. His vocals are so spot-on and in control on this song, sounding nothing short of amazing. The band overall really feels like they've hit a groove with all of these new tracks, blending their classic elements with their newer style but not going overboard with either. If the production end holds up, this has potential to be one of the best Blind Guardian albums to date. \m/

[@KiroProstoto]

Totally agree!

[@carlosluismendez7392]

Well, he still can sing very high notes. He did his best vocal performance in the last demons and wizards album.

[@Manluas]

He continues to be the weak point of this band. Ugly voice.

[@johnhenryweber665]

I started lifting weights at the start of Covid, I wanted to thank Blind Guardian for adding at least 7 pounds of lean mass to my frame. Their music is greatest gym soundtrack of all time. It transforms normal deadlifts into magical, epic deadlifts.

[@leonkennedy3398]

Metal is the ultimate gym music. Been lifting to metal for years. Definitely fuels the inner warriors. I'm currently listening to Seven Spires, Orbit Culture, and Shadow of intent at the gym

[@LumosX]

Rhapsody is my go-to choice for lifting, but the last Blind Guardian('s Twilight Orchestra) album certainly got its fair share of use as well.

[@diojibarker9892]

I’m sorry to tell you, but unfortunately, after adjusting for inflation…you only added 5 pounds of lean mass.

[@johnhenryweber665]

I love how this band takes my favourite books and makes them into songs

[@josephgiacobine1069]

They literally wrote the soundtrack to the Silmarillion, the Tolkien Bible

[@badbirdkc]

One of the best songs by them in years. It's amazing how in the studio setting they make all that sound look effortless.

[@jorgevidal3672]

It will be so difficult to forget this chorus...

[@cegolau]

Blind Guardian is just unique and amazing. My favourite metal band ever.

[@julienpicardos]

I can't say how much I love the voice of Hansi and the music of BG. There's only one band like Blind Guardian!

[@alexthorpe6583]

Damn, that's good! It's been too long since a new Blind Guardian song has given me chills from the vocals. Andre's guitar tone is instantly recognizable, as always.

[@Steele_Hard]

It´s really nice to have them back in the style of the classic records, keep it that way

[@Muckrackerz]

I'll just be joining the majority opinion here: Somehow with these singles BG have managed to hit a sound that's both in line with their new stuff but also just familiar enough to have that distinct Guardian sound. Feels like home. Can't wait to catch these guys live.

[@juujaavituttaa]

These guys are the fucking bomb live, you wont regret it

[@Muckrackerz]

@@juujaavituttaa Believe me, I'm stoked already. only a couple more weeks till the show ;)

[@peterroosevelt4736]

I completely agree! It took me a while to embrace The Red Mirror, I had to let go of some things and give it a few listens, and just love The Ninth Wave now. Most of these newer tracks, I just settle in, and it feels so familiar yet so new. They pulled of something not many artists or musicians can: blending of old and new without it feeling too contrived or forced. Hansi’s voice master is def a big part of it.

[@Scarlatamusic]

Immediately in love with this one...🤘🎸⚡

[@brianhalligan9268]

It really is impressive how much power Hansi is able to get singing while simultaneously looking as if he is not expending energy.

[@beyonddaylight5556]

One of the most consistent bands out there

[@sirvanmohamadnezhad273]

By releasing secrets of the American gods, Blind gurdian band members prove that they are timeless.

[@Dr.Stein1988]

Andre has such a sick sense of melody! It's always inspiring to hear his parts. The way he combines his Brian May influences with the Kirk Hammett wah pedal never gets old.

[@stefanopino9309]

Time means nothing To these metal gods No more sorrows Praise the Blind Guardian

[@SEGBASS]

A real classic Blind Guardian vibe on this one! Love it even more than "Deliver us from evil". I love the way the song is kinda "floating" during the chorus.....Well, I know what I mean lolll......Can't wait for the album!!!

[@mtaffer]

I know what you mean, it's not a standard chorus for that reason and I dig it too!

[@facelessone86]

[@RapsCalorie]

This band is fucking older than I am and they still go harder than soooooo many new bands.

[@nilshult5115]

A great way to start the weekend. I have tuned my air guitar and are ready to play along😎

[@kevinh5736]

Such a unique and legendary band. Been following them since 1998. I discovered them while shopping for some new metal albums. I remember the shop owner was a huge, long haired and bearded guy, just like a bad ass biker! He recommended me to have a listen to BG. "Nightfall in Middle Earth" just came out and it just blew me away! BG is the first band that made me really appreciate all styles of metal as I was more of a thrash/death metal guy at the time. I have been following them and other power metal bands ever since. Long live BG! Thank you for making such great music!

[@PieterDaniell]

Hansi is one of the greatest power metal singers. I like his unique style and delivery. His body of work is amazing

You guys never fail to amaze me, after more than 30 years you're still making epic and melodic masterpieces. Also, Hansi's voice has aged very well, he still has that great and majestic voice. I see that you're using a tape for the recordings, will this be an analogue recording instead of digital? and will you use a master tape to cut the vinyl?

[@rickmartinez5629]

(Keep faith, keep faith, in barren wonder) Great Lord, your love's divine I spread your grace I share your light Four shores of Hell were burning In purgatory's smell When a preacher with a crucifix Brought mayhem and despair So here comes a new god, be brave A gospel illusion, the breeding of sin, I carry light I share this grace, I share our pain Somehow we're not one yet somehow we're the same Now strong in blue It shall begin, soon forgotten with thе ring Hail, nice to meet you Another newborn strangеr I'm so glad you have made it Somehow you've made it Welcome to the promised land There are no sights, there are no miracles (Shall spare no names) You should not reveal (For the American Gods) The secrets of the American Gods Just hold to infinity (No one cares for names) You can't escape, better hide now The secrets of the American Gods So when I look upon These fields of misery Who would not sacrifice a son? My son is now gone We share our tricks, we share our oaths Discarded plans, distorted use It's dripping blood fields It's what this land needs Life's creeping back at you, back at you Sadly to say, but Hope there is no guiding spark So bright, you're blazing starlight And we are watching you, watching you Stranger in a newborn land Of formless Gods and warlock miracles (All these fields of crows) You should not reveal (From the American Gods) The secrets of the American Gods Just hold to infinity (No one cares for names) You better bow down, praise the new lords The secrets of the American Gods Take a look at yourself All behold, here's another trick But now in light of hope and glory It is time to close your eyes, I shall live All sticks of the stem shall Resurrect these moments gone Contemplate desire An eternal flame's burning down Don't be scared, follow the plan All lives can stream like birds singing Behold your Father of violence The one-eyed god is sad I thought you'd know that The greatest liar is telling you the total truth I thought you'd know that I'm your master Stranger in an unknown land Of roaring silence dead and miracles (Bloody fields, bloody roots) I will now reveal (For the American Gods) The secrets of the American Gods Just hold to infinity (No one cares for names) The moment is right, you should cry out The secrets of the American Gods The American Gods Yes, we travel all alone A new play, a new scene Dripping blood seals the deal When we enter a new world Stranded we're wandering Time, time means nothing To the American Gods No more sorrows, praise the American Gods You are burning, yes, you are burning Or you must conquer your fear You better save yourself But now obey the American Gods You better save yourself

[@efxnews4776]

Holy shirt! If you look deeper to the meaning of this song, you would find a lot of references from a lot of things, "one eyed god", is one of this things, is a reference to masonry, but take in account the themes from Blind Guardian songs, it isn't also far fetch to picture the one eye god as Odin, and in fact cover art literally shows this, but you only get the meaning if you connect this. Another point is that Christianity borrow a lot of concepts from other cultures, for instance, protestants picture the devil as a dragon, dragons are common in the nordic folklore. Catholics actually have more in common with roman culture. So you can definitely make a connection that God has aspects of all powerful ones gods from other mythologies, the Catholic God is more like Zeus / Jupiter. I maybe speculating too much here, but damn, this made my brain get hot...
