BLIND GUARDIAN
A Night At The Opera
Century Media Records

The long awaited album "A Night At The Opera," released in March 2002, is bursting with the creativity that Blind Guardian is well known for. Fans have eagerly waited four years since Blind Guardian's last project "Nightfall In Middle Earth," and patience has paid off with this latest CD. Blind Guardian has poured their unparalleled imagination and skill into "A Night At The Opera," creating a well thought out, tasteful, experience for the mind and soul. The disc is a full spectrum of fast, slow, heavy, chorus filled, orchestral tracks of cultivated metal melody. Songs such as "The Soul Forged," a tale right out of the popular Dragonlance Saga, and "Punishment Divine" reflecting on the philosopher Nietschze, will sweep you up on a journey through colorful stories of fantasy and history. Already popular in Europe, Japan, and Canada this band is winning over more and more US fans. Blind Guardian will be one of ten progressive metal bands playing the ProgPower USA festival in Atlanta, Georgia this November.
