Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond (Full Album)

[@reinnfrux]

When I was in elementary my bus driver always blasted Blind Guardian, good memories 😌

[@roshangupta1403]

nice, the kids are learning academics in school and they're learning good music taste on the way to and from school

[@allisonmackay3818]

Cool. Ours just screeched a lot bc half the bus were gifted kids and half were mentally challenged. So it was a bit of a circus... 😯

The Sindar elves have decided to play metal, and here it is.

[@4ndr3c3s4r1n0]

Anders Midnatt Noldor elves, because they are more badass.

[@adrimantovani]

4ndr3c3s4r1n0 LOL, They are Eldar anyway...

[@4ndr3c3s4r1n0]

Jean-Luc Cypher All the Noldor and Sindar are Eldar, so Adriano is still correct. The Eldar who saw Valinor, and the light of the Two Trees, are: Vanyar, Noldor and some of the Teleri.

Back when Power metal wasn't just Power metal, it was always Power/Speed. Good times

[@Questmetalband]

+Bassam Al-Haddad yeah a lot of power metal bands today suck

[@caldera11]

+Bassam Al-Haddad Not really, there was plenty of power/thrash and bit of power/prog back then as well.

[@marbanivet]

+Quem Official a lot of music sucks today power metal definitely changed but blind guardian is one of the greats though in my opinion

[@Questmetalband]

Grubby Canine i agree too.

[@wyvernrealms]

Now the majority of the power metal bands from 2000 and up are just plain and cheesy and I think they mostly sound alike.. :/

[@AlbertoAstorga98]

Masterpiece, one of the best albums of Blind Guardian, greetings from Chile

[@fillebeast]

Their best album in my opinion, and the best power metal album ever recorded.

[@speedchama5177]

The best power album, the best speed album is battalion of fear (first album)

[@stefanhristov4083]

i listen it more then 20

[@MaverickMustaine]

fillebeast Imaginations from the other side is a notch better in my opinion

[@antgeozzz]

Stefan Hristov hahah 20 is nothing xD

[@Wrathalot]

antgeozzz no its 20. nothing is nothing ! ;)

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΑγαλιώτης-ζ7ι]

One of most divine recordings ever made, no doubt!

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7188]

This is a legendary album. "Tales of the Twilight World" is great, but this just kills everything.

[@wyvernrealms]

I agree that this is a legendary album but it can't kill Imagination, Opera nor Wheels of Time for me. I can't even decide which album is my favorite one between these four hahaha. :P

[@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212]

This is the best album by far altough their best song ever is Banish from the sanctuary, better than Lord of the rings and bard song.

[@Leyrann]

From this album on, I would consider all albums except for A Twist in the Myth legendary... Though A Night at the Opera is included mostly because of And Then There Was Silence. That alone makes an album legendary.

[@erelian_sardonic]

Personally prefer Tales. Never really got into Somewhere far Beyond, somehow.

Side A 1. Time What Is Time 05:46 Hide lyrics When the moonchild is crying And silence has broken The darkest truth The things she remembered Had never been her own Replicant or human I know the way to show What do I see What will I find Know the answer inside It's your last step Ref.: Time what is time I wish I knew how to tell You why It hurts to know Aren't we machines Time what is time Unlock the door And see the truth Then time is time again Whispering These dreams were never mine It's cold inside It's gone forever The things he saw Who can say what's wrong or right The vision of a free life His eyes had seen it all For what He's asking The vision, vision, vision I know it's all a lie I'll remember his past life And I'll remember time What did I see What have I done God I knew the answers When he felt so tired Ref.: Time what is time Come lock the door don't let me in I am the one Your destiny Time what is time Reality - It hurts me so When time is time again (Solo) Look into my eyes Feel the fear just for a while I'm a replicant and I love to live Is it all over now Only these years I'll leave but I'm singing Ref.: Time what is time He saw it clearly it's too late It does not heal but it lets us forget Time what is time We'll never know So don't take care Then time is time again Should I forget The way I feel God he knows how long I tried Feel there is no reason to cry I live my life In fortune dreams forever 2. Journey Through the Dark 04:48 Hide lyrics Many songs I've written About the things I saw My inner soul's a wasteland I can't run away from here Try to find them All the lost thoughts in my mind I woke up on a hill So many times before Yesterday seems like a dream no more Frozen memories laughing They don't let me find the truth Am I born to be a king Or a jester of the fools Ref.: You're the mystical old bard on your journey through the dark Mystical old bard Your journey through the dark I can't remember my name I never knew how to find my home I can't remember my name come tell me where will it end I'm the chosen one To perform all these things But not for me In illusions and reality I'm on my journey through the dark I'm on my journey through the dark Ref. (Solo) I can't remember Will I ever find myself The distance is growing My hope has gone away A flash of light but nothing changes When will it end Which part of me remains Soon I'll be back On my ferryboat of tales Where oblivion reigns It will take all of me Ref. 3. Black Chamber 00:58 Hide lyrics I am lost in the black chamber There's no way to turn back It takes me down forevermore And death would be so sweet I'm possessed by the old creature Who had planned all To take my soul Too late for me In my hands It liest I thought But I failed Now he's in me My soul is lost In his black chamber I'm gone 4. Theatre of Pain 04:17 Hide lyrics The giant's lost And all round him Destructed for what They all knew what it meant But they couldn't change it Lord they had gone too far Leave them alone It's all gone What is left behind On a desert we called earth When the last whale went away Did they ever see the tears Don't fear Your last step From the theatre of pain And the children will love Your singing From the sea The sea is calling Now we've to leave it The sea was clear On the day I was stranded Answers I'd known To keep this all alive But I can't change it Forever (Solo) Now I'm gone And it seems that life had never existed So we left the dark and cold All I left behind are my tears Don't fear Your last step From the theatre of pain And the children will love Your singing From the sea The sea is calling I hear them calling 5. The Quest for Tanelorn 05:57 Hide lyrics By the ruins he stands And he's waiting for me To enter Tanelorn His paths seems strange But they're always planned Seldom he succeeds About his own fate He tries to conquer it Again and again But at last he's almost A ruined man Not a king or God Who's searching for A place called Tanelorn Far beyond your dreams Ref.: On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way On our quest for Tanelorn He's waiting He's waiting for me He's waiting He's waiting for me [Spiritus sanctus - vita aeterna] Darkness falling down on me Darkness - The eternal battle rises I know the answers Although they don't exist I'm just a mortal illusion Ref. (Solo) So I'm his companion Through space and through time His eternal servant He's calling me So I must leave To any life To another world Far beyond Your dreams To know the truth Just for a while He's longing for a place Where he can find himself Deliverance It could be everywhere How can he find He's waiting for me And for Your Tanelorn Ref.: On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way On our quest for Tanelorn We lose our way On our quest for Tanelorn We're left alone Side B 6. Ashes to Ashes 06:00 Hide lyrics Taste the poison Feel that this is life Hallowed be the game Of life and innocence God's waiting for him Join us at the road to fate There are no two paths Feel the pain Which steps into his life Agony He'll be crucified Death awaits Knocking at his door Agony Leave him The clock will strike the end Hell or heaven Reflect and fade away Ref.: Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The life clock strikes and You obey Like a candle light that fades Ashes to ashes, dust to dust When the life clock strikes You will obey Time isn't here to stay Ashes to ashes, dust to dust the life clock strikes and You obey A light shows the right way Morning is whispering in my head Too late to say goodbye Too late The last breath's done Deliverance at all he's born to find this end I am the one The one who's calling Obey my call to the cemetary And don't be afraid To step into the dark Be sure that my voice will take You home Ref.: Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The life clock strikes and You obey Like a candle light that fades Ashes to ashes, dust to dust When the life clock strikes You will obey Time isn't here to stay (Solo) No hope he'd waited so long This can't be God's will He surrendered long ago There was no real chance Ashes to ashes and dust will be dust Ashes to ashes, you all will be dust again The clock had struck the end Up to heaven Reflexions fade away Ref. (1st) Taste the poison Feel that this is life Hallowed be the game 7. The Bard's Song - In the Forest 03:10 Hide lyrics Now You all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song Ref.: Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs There's only one song Left in my mind Tales of a brave man Who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave Noone should ask You for the name Of the one Who tells the story Ref.: Tomorrow will take us away Far from home Noone will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known And You're not alone So don't be afraid In the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain They all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men And elves Come close Your eyes You can see them, too 8. The Bard's Song - The Hobbit 03:54 Hide lyrics Out in the distance There's so much gold The treasure that I've found Is more than enough Far to be the hill we've to go Over the mountain and seas To the old hill Where the old dragon sleeps Blind in the dark dungeon's night So God please take me away from here And Gollum shows the way right out I'm alive (Solo) The dying dragon brought trouble and pain And horror to the halls of stone I'll take the mighty stone And leave the dwarves behind Ice and fire and forest we passed And horror in the halls of stone Trolls in the dark The dawn took them all Caught in the wood By the wooden kings' men But now I'm alone 'Cause I've made up my mind By the spell of gold The king under the mountain Will risk the great war Oh what a fool He's losing control So I am trying to find a way Blind in the dark dungeon's night Then darkness comes from the northern side And Thorin clears his mind 9. The Piper's Calling 00:59 instrumental 10. Somewhere Far Beyond 07:30 Hide lyrics I came from far Beyond Your reality The ocean of time It's the odysee of mine I am the narrator And now I'll tell You Where I've been And what I saw And how it ends Welcome to the wasteland In a world which is turning faster Where I'm alone for a while It's turning faster Away from light straight to the dark The march of time it has begun I'm caught in an ancient dream so bright And then the march of time begins The man in black he waits Behind this last task It's full of pain To sacrifice the only son The legions of the lost Wait in the old mine They try to stop me The battle it has begun So I'm not afraid To walk down to the wasteland I'm so alone on my way And I don't fear that dusty godforsaken path Somewhere far beyond Ref.: Somewhere far beyond The march of time it has begun Somewhere far beyond your reality And then the march of time begins Look at my soul And behind There are some things I've to hide from You I'm following the black man I'm losing control And I don't care What's happening to the boy Welcome to the new world One more step to the dark tower And my whole body's in flames I'm looking for Those healing things to be prepared The march of time it has begun I'm caught in a prisoner's dirty life And then the march of time begins The prisoner did bring the healing spell The queen of shadows found herself in pain And death brings answers to us all What will I find When the dark tower appears Will it be the end Or just a new quest after all I am the narrator And now I'll tell You Where I'd been And what I saw And how it ends (Solo) Ref. (2x) Look around and see The world is turning fast Faster day by day Somewhere far beyond I'll try to change it If I can - Somewhere far beyond There's only one chance And it lies - Somewhere far beyond Somewhere far beyond The march of time it has begun The march of time it has begun

[@robertdemeter5793]

ALL religions come from sacred divine plant entheogens that take you millions of times deeper within yourself than ypour blind ego-mind of duality wants to go. Enjoy the following link- jaysongaddis.com/the-ayahuasca-wave/ . And ALL religions say that by only going deep into your darkness far beyond where your blind mind wants go, can you ever find light. After ten Ayahuasca ceremonies will you fully understand the infinite beauty of Blind Guardian songs like " Journey through the dark" and what it all really means,, and songs like "THORN" (dying before you die to meet your Soul in the 5th dimension"), and songs like "Lost in the Twilight Hall" (see all your past lives and see the cosmic universal design of how it interacts with your present life and the true Soul journey and the infinite meanings of what it all means, that your ego- mind is totally oblivious and totally blind to !!), and songs like this one "Quest for Tanelorn" - how who you think you are is all total illusion in your total blindness and total stupidity, , and of course songs like "Punishment divine" (the laws of Nature instead of a God in heaven - which implies separation of the ego-mind separated from Soul and humanity's total blindness to infinite beautiful laws of Nature and the Universe).. and of course songs like Otherland, which show everything you believe in this human society is a total web of lies, and songs like "Prophecies" by Blind Guardian that explicitly tell you that you must pass through the "RED Doors" of your darkness to find the light, hence why your lower 3 chakras are your ego and darkness, and the root chakra, the lowest chakra is RED (look it up) !! And don't worry, Mother Ayahuasca will take you to those Red doors far beyond the veils and blindness of your mind of thoughts, DEEP within you.. . Do you think it's just a coincidence that every religion on the planet tells you to "Separate from thought", just as the bible says to separate from thought 5 times, symbolizing your silly belief of the physical is who you think you are in your total blindness - Taste - smell, touch, see, hear , in all your lies and you self-deception, your blind ego-mind always and forever in the illusion of time always lying to your-SELF . All thoughts come from the illusion of time in past or future in the left brain of blindness of the countless lies of the "I" and who you think you are, which are all lies. Hence why Jesus said: If you want to catch fish (wisdom), cast your nets on the RIGHT side of the ship (and ship always meant MIND in the ancient texts), and hence why you see statues of Buddha, shamans, and Shive always raising their right arm up, in total surrender of spirit and infinite truths of Soul in the 5th dimension (God and all that is, is SOUL Again, just as EVERY religion on the planet says in the scriptures- "ONLY in your darkest darkness can you ever find your light" .. as when you surrender to yoiur pain and all your demons and ALLOW them to devour you, they cannot actually dissolve you. The mind is stupid to fight demons because that is exactly what you become, you become the demonss you fight, as light fight nothing as its infinite self aware, but you have no self-awareness whatsoever as you are always fighting other ideologies by your silly beliefs, and you only believe your beliefs because you have no clue who you are. Because if you knew who you are and met your Soul (God and the universe within you), then there woulds be no use for beliefs of the blind mind) .. as you woul be led by 5th dimension of Soul in everything you do, not the blind duality of the blind mind of the 3rd dimension of the fake physical, as all matter is 99.999999999% empty space, and totally meaningless. but of course churches never teach to go into your darkness deep within you to keep you in ego blindness, as reaching for the light is what creates all your darkness within. As all people do all day in the blindness of their ego mind of reflect their own darkness onto others, and they have no clue that it is their own darkness they are seeing in others, as we are all sacred mirrors. The ego mind of thought is the blindest, by far the dumbest, by far the most self-defeating and self hating entity in the entire infinite Universe. Termites have more consciousness than the human thinking left brain mind. and that is not an exaggeration, that is the absolute truth. As of the infinite worlds of beauty, only humans are stupid enough to destroy themselves (each other) and their own planet at the alarming rate it's happening. There is no dumber and more blind entitiy in the Universe than the blind human mind of thought. when you meet your soul in the 5th dimension of consciousness, only then will you totally understand that everything I am telling you is true,. Otherwise you will always be a prisoner to your 3rd dimension mind of thought. If you cannot see God in all, then you cannot see God at all. Humanity is all about looking outwardly for Truths. That's why humans are fake, incredibly cowardly, unconscious, and lost. God is all about going inwardly for Truths. That's why God is real, incredibly genuine, is infinite Consciousness, and infinitely self-aware. '' Man is the most insane species, he worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Totally unaware that the Nature he's destroying is the God he's worshiping. '

[@robertdemeter5793]

It's fucking beautiful. This magical band is loaded with beautiful Spiritual truths in their music catalog. It's very deep so you have to look beyond what people tell you what the songs mean. Don't follow "labels" of what other people say the songs mean as the mind can only label things at the surface of images and is blind, as these songs all mean YOU in many deep ways that the left-brain thinking ego mind of thought cannot see or understand. In one of my Ayahuasca ceremonies after total surrender of the ego as I surpassed the illusions of death, eye was given the sword of light from the Universe. The sword of Light came through me in magical beauty as I was downloaded massive amounts of knowledge love and wisdom through my heart chakra. This magical sword is far beyond how you see a sword in a picture in the illusions of images as this sword is multi-dimensional as I became "one" with the sword, the sword was me and I was the sword, as ONE in infinite beauty and magic. The sword of Light is only to be used for love and light and becoming in full awareness of my Soul purposes and missions on this planet to help awaken humanity out of the countless illusions of society. Not a sword that can ever be used to harm anyone or anything. And through that experience I was taken back to this album that I listened to as a young man in the early 1990's, and Mother Ayahuasca showed me this Blind Guardian album cover and she said to me: " You see Robert, You have always been one of the chosen ones, and you will always be one of the chosen ones" .. and she showed me what a sword really means (that has absolutely nothing to do with what silly humans think a sword means as the blind human mind takes everything beautiful and sacred and twists it in countless lies).. The album cover is an Ayahuasca circle, with the Shaman playing Ayahuasca icaro's at the top through some kind of flute in the shape of an Ayahuasca vine on his chest, the flute at the bottom pointing to the light at the center of the circle. And he's elevated above everyone else sitting on a stool and wearing a crown (not just a hood like the others). And he also has a condor sitting on his shoulder (the highest flying bird that also has the ability to shift between Spiritual dimensions). In Ayahuasca art you will see the condor depicted quite often, and for infinite good reasons. Ayahuasca is the oldest and purest, and is by far the most effective form of Spiritual practice on the planet. Nothing could be more obvious as you listen to this album ;-) I so clearly remember as a child listening to heavy metal during the 1980's, & entire worlds opened up for me, bands such as Iron Maiden, Testament and other great bands such as "Death" and Queensryche ( "Roads To Madness" by Queensryche for example is an Eternal Spiritual Truths classic), etc. A little later on in the early 1990's I got into the beauty of Blind Guardian with their beautiful album 'Somewhere Far Beyond". So many beautiful things that fake bands like metallica and ac/dc could never come close to offering. I never understood when people would tell me that Heavy Metal music is far too heavy to get into and too overwhelming. I always laughed, since I was a child, how people would tell me that this isn't music, but only loud cannons firing. I ALWAYS laughed as they tried so hard to sway me, but could never sway me an inch. From family members to friends to pathetic pastors in churches (and let me tell you that you will NEVER find more fake people on the planet than fear-monger pastors and priests in churches), as nobody hates our beautiful Mother Earth and Nature and divides people's more with hatred than pastors in churches, and they mostly hate themselves. And I never once cared for their blind and pathetic opinions, I always laughed hysterically inside. I always laughed hysterically how they couldn't "get it." . Because to me, when listening to heavy metal, it was always a blissful sweet symphony of beauty !! For me, it was always so soft, and wonderful, so welcoming, and Magical !! I feel so sorry for the humans that have no capability to ever understand the beauty of real heavy metal music, because heavy metal has so many beautiful Spiritual messages from the infinite Universe that the blind ego-based mind of duality is afraid to see, and afraid to understand. Mother Ayahuasca showed me in infinite ways how Heavy Metal music was so vital and so beautiful in so many magical ways for my Spiritual growth. And this magical band of beauty, Blind Guardian, was absolutely Massive and monumental for my Spiritual journey of the Universe of be-ing and infinite truths of beauty of Light and Spirit. ;-) .. Mother Ayahuasca showed me how my Soul always chose the right bands and the right music, far beyond my mind. Intuitively I knew it all along... but my goodness Mother Ayahuasca showed me so many deep Spiritual truths in deeper ways of infinite understandings of Spirit, that the blind ego-mind that lives in the illusion of time and the illusions of duality, is totally incapable of understanding..

[@Hailstorm273]

With the exception of three songs, I haven't heard any of this album before. Here's what I think about the songs from this listen. 1. Great album opener. I have a feeling that it might be a highlight. The beginning felt a bit misleading, kind of like Majesty does, but that's a good way to catch the listener off-guard. 2. Even better than Time What Is Time. 3. This is a short song, but I love how it shows a softer side to the album. 4. Another great song from the album. Slower than the first two songs, but it trades its speed for more symphonic elements. 5. Tanelorn. That's a name I first heard in a song from At the Edge of Time, so I thought that maybe there is some sort of connection. Whether that's true or not, that doesn't change the fact that this song is epic. It makes you feel like you're a part of the story when you listen to it. Easily the best song so far! 6. Seemed to be the darkest song on the album. It's also one of my favorites on here. This whole album just seems to be getting better and better with each song so far. 7. Ah, yes, the single from the album. I liked it a lot more than I ever expected it to, since when I had Memories of a Time to Come I thought the song was overrated. Upon hearing it here, now I understand why the song is loved so much. 8. I always liked this song. Picks up from the first Bard's Song nicely now that I've heard it in context. The ending kind of drags on, but other than that, no complaints. 9. Not much to say here. It's just an interlude. The bagpipe melody is nice, but I didn't feel like it set up the final song that well. 10. Somewhere Far Beyond is absolutely incredible! It's the best song on the whole album, and one of my favorite songs by them overall. The band couldn't have ended this disc in a more perfect way.

[@ajdenman3551]

Very late response, but yes, Quest for Tanelorn and the one from ATEOT is about Tanelorn in Michael Moorcock's literature universe.

[@MrDR7no]

Apart from everything else about this epic album, those vocals on this record alone, are probably the most unearthly and unbelievably great vocals I've ever heard in my life. Both the layering, and Hansi's voice on its own. Among my top 10 albums for sure. Every song is killer, the production is stellar and powerful yet retains that amazing rawness at the same time, and the covers which are not here (cuz bonus tracks) are excellent too, especially their take on Queen's Spread Your Wings.

[@toddvandell85]

@MrDR7no Hansi's voice reminds me of Twisted Sister's Dee Snider's voice on the up-tempo parts where he's scream-singing. (I like Dee's voice, so it's a compliment.😒)

I've listened to metal for about 20 years now and I've listened to lots of albums through every genre and this is my favourite album of all time, followed closely by Maidens 7th Son

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΑγαλιώτης-ζ7ι]

Inspiration creativity and performance without tomorrow...

[@buttrockman4578]

It's a sin to listen to Theatre of Pain without listening to Black Chamber first. The flow is just perfect.

[@jarednd]

Butt Rockman I feel the same way. 🤘

[@flaviosena7748]

what a fucking album.. one of the best ever made...

[@powermetalbard]

My number one favorite album of all time. Nothing can beat this masterpiece

[@fishh0nan0n]

This is the best album so far.

[@TheodoreSivrais]

Great music 👍🎶😃🎵

[@ВасилКиров-п3ш]

[@joselegaspi2549]

Thanks for Tracklisting :) Kudos!!!

[@richarddean8882]

my first album from BG!!!! i love it.

[@gentlecamel6745]

Great memories, bring me this album! I don´t how many times a listened to this album looking dazed to the cover... BG at its best!

[@lazarusex2842]

Easily their second best album, after Nightfall. Recently Hansi apparently said that he thinks "Distant Memories" off of their new album is the most beautiful song they've ever written; and while I'm tempted to agree, because it's an amazing song, the prize still goes to Theatre of Pain for me.

[@joaquinmunoz8517]

+Yomiko Yoshihara For me, the most beautifl BG song, is and ever will be "Lord of the rings" . :)

[@ellcavedweller8301]

Just a fantastic album. Slight weakness is it's one of their shorter ones, but still a good three quarters of an hour.

[@banadepijamas]

[@foruman125]

My favourite one.

[@darkestlost]

Sensacional!!! Blind Guardian uma das melhores bandas de metal de todos os tempos! Valeu aos caras da metal ao extremo!!

[@elton_ac]

Together with Angra's Temple of Shadows, this is the best Power Metal album of all time!

[@mrafranca]

1. Time what is time 00:00 aos -1-30.1-4-40 lembrou me uma musica, life is life

[@roxGCstyle]

Esse álbum junto com o temple of shadows do Angra entra na minha lista dos álbuns mais empolgantes do "power metal", sempre volto a escutar, diferente de outras bandas de power metal que acabam enjoando rápido.

[@bv3365]

OUT IN THE DISTANCE THERE'S SO MUCH GOLD

[@edenrocha1053]

Fabulous!!!🤘🏻

[@gglavind]

Absolutely amazing!!!!

[@rickzuniga5328]

excelente álbum

[@Raulizidorojack]

Esse é um dos meus albums preferidos de todos os tempos. Absolutamente perfeito!

[@agentdoodo299]

Blind Guardian-era power metal bands had balls and weren't just playing fantasy metal for the sake of it.

[@buttrockman4578]

+Jamz Hatefeel So because music happens to be taking itself less seriously and happens to be more melodic, the band doesn't have balls? That's kind of silly to say.

[@mcbrain745]

Masterpiece 🤘🏻

[@nachoelmir98]

Does anybody know where can I find music similar to 0:00 - 0:0:40 ? I really liked The Bard's Song but I don't want to ruin which is my favourite song at the moment by listening it gazzillion times.

[@strongmanmajik]

+Nacho Romero Try spanish guitar songs.

[@SuperEffectivGaming]

im going to recommend friday night live in san francisco. some of the best flamenco playing ive heard. also vamo alla flamenco from the video game final fantasy ix. wonderful arrangment there.

[@Lukelo92]

+Nacho Romero In terms of Blind Guardian, Fiddler on the Green (Demons and Wizards), Skalds and Shadows, and A Past and Future Secret are a good place to start.

[@Virtuous_Rogue]

+Nacho Romero The Islander by Nightwish

[@cwmwitch]

+Nacho Romero try Breed 77...awesome stuff

[@rammice]

Awesome album and band, but the part at the beginning from 0:00 to 0:40, what is that type of music called and where can I find more of it? It reminds me of certain acoustic parts of In Flames' songs and I just love it.

[@DomIstKrieg]

rammice It sounds to me almost a bit like Flamenco guitar from Spain.

[@rammice]

Dominic Nicholson It does sort of, and I listen to a lot of Flamenco stuff but this is different... I can't quite put my finger on it.

[@buttrockman4578]

+rammice It really reminds me of the Gerudo Valley music from Zelda Ocarina of Time.

[@lafan423]

The bards song is amazing, i'm gonna have to buy this album

[@Ride-Shine]

Best BG album, after A night at the opera they lost their rage. Just my opinion.

[@davidprawira5755]

They need Thomen

[@fede1210]

ALWAYS IT'S GOOD TO HEARD EXCELLENT MUSIC.....SIEMPRE ES BUENO ESCUCHAR MUSICA EXCELENTE

[@luis_punisher9045]

[@codinginvim1780]

I've never really liked power-metal but this is great

[@karju4]

victropic Funny thing, i am always liked power metal and this is not been my favourite. I was thinkin in other day, this may be too difficult for power metal...

[@buttrockman4578]

+karju4 What do you mean?

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7188]

+Jesus when you gon to pay us da second visit, homie?

[@codinginvim1780]

Bernabé Fernández Touceda when the time is right (when my dad gets bored)

[@KingLich451]

it's actually speed metal, with power lyrics.

[@trommnorse]

I never knew Blind Guardian were so fucking hard. I guess the "speed" component really made this album for me.

[@Olegus85]

I've heard this album more than 100 times for shure.

[@maxmaexchen4445]

metal is not my cup of tea normally, but i love this album

[@renecouture3719]

Wicked good jam unreal

[@ramadp81]

Por esos años, cuando salio este disco creí que no podian hacer nada mejor, luego hicieron el Imaginations y el Nightfall 😁

[@felippesantos6062]

Masterpiece!

[@Shub_Shoggoth]

Recuerdo jugar al primer Diablo en PC con este álbum de fondo, para mí son dos obras maestras inseparables. This album is somewhere far beyond my memories.

[@trommnorse]

I like fantasy and I like metal, so I can't help but listen to BG from to time.

[@hammerdiscography]

HEAVY METAL

[@leandrovalzura4050]

Cuanto poder tiene este disco!!!

[@lafan423]

black chamber into theatre of pain gives me chills!

[@skizzzle]

I really hate myself for not picking this up at a CD store so many years ago. I was underwhelmed by how many songs it has.

[@carlossebastianlopez4329]

Estupendo!!!, hace falta decir algo mas?
