Blind Guardian, The God Machine

Posted on: November 9, 2022 at 7:33 pm

After delving deeper and deeper into the epic symphonic realm, which culminated with Legacy of the dark lands, an entirely orchestral album that lacks metal almost completely and is one of their most ambitious and grandiose works, Blind Guardian have done a 180 in their newest release and returned to …

Let’s just start by saying that I am a HUGE Ayreon fangirl, 01011001 is one of my all-time favourite albums and this will be populated with adjectives like mind-blowing, incredible, great, awesome and brilliant and it will severely lack criticism. You have been warned. It has some of my favourite singers, Anneke …
