TALES FROM THE TWILIGHT WORLD

The third Blind Guardian album finally opens the gate. It's not just the album cover, it's most of all the music. The first track is called Traveler in Time and it introduces us to the Guardian's time obsession. Yes, they will do a lot of that in the future. It's so Guardianish, even the harmonized riffs cut clean like there's one and only Krefeld power metal machine. Kai Hansen appears in the songs Lost In The Twilight Hall (singing) and Last Candle (guitar solo) but it doesn't really matter, cos BG finally got to the point they could easily say: we've found our own style. Welcome to Dying, Goodbye My Friends, Tommyknockers...all very good tracks. A power metal classic.
