00:00:00 and 01:03:56 Sacred Worlds The realm's bleeding It suffers Old and weak No further arguing There is war at hand The system's failing Engines running Then after all I sense the end is dawning These lunatics deny the truth I know I will not fail There'll be War it's now or never We shall stand together One by one This world is sacred (I'm coming home) War it's now or never We shall stand together One by one This world is sacred I'm coming home Coming home You chase in twilight And you know You will be on your own On your own The misery shown I'll be alone in this hour I'll face the unknown Witness the end I'm bleeding, I'm fading Here in my final hour When long-lost memories return And a voice keeps calling "All dead and gone It's out of hand Life is in motion" I'm wishing, I'm fading "Time to wake up Face the truth" I'm sinking I'm drowning There's no doubt, no regret "Time to reveal now" This is no illusion It is real Carry on the flame It's not over now Watch me, I will rise Time to reveal now I know I will not fail Anymore I'll go on forever All that really matters Blessed realm This world is sacred (I'm coming home) War it's now or never We shall stand together One by one This world is sacred (I'm coming home) Yesterday's gone There's no today, no tomorrow I'm raised from the dead The ritual failed There at the gates I'm left alone in this hour Driven insane I am left alone And now I drown in deepest shadows While the golden hall is sealed I'm wishing I'm fading And I'm part of the machine My eyes are the eyes of a dead man And I feel the unholy stream The source of my power T-energy I'm in control I will live forever All that really matters Find the one This world is sacred (I'm coming home) War it's now or never We shall stand together One by one This world is sacred I'm coming home I spread my wings But keep on falling I should have known I can see it coming The war is over There's whispering in the wind Just let me out of here There is no way There's no end While all the suffering goes on All that I know Is that I'm not insane It's not over

Everyone here is like "oh Blind Guardian made me read The Wheel of Time" meanwhile i'm just like "The Wheel of Time made me come to listen to Blind Guardian". I deeply loved Robert Jordan's books, and when Sanderson took up the pen to finish the epic i feel like he did it true justice. Unlike what Amazon did >.>
You're The Voice John Farnham We have the chance to turn the pages over We can write what we want to write We gotta make ends meet before we get much older We're all someone's daughter We're all someone's son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun? You're the voice, try and understand it Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah We're not gonna sit in silence We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah This time, we know we all can stand together With the power to be powerful Believing we can make it better Oh, we're all someone's daughter We're all someone's son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun? You're the voice, try and understand it Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah We're not gonna sit in silence We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah Oh, we're all someone's daughter We're all someone's son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun?

It's weird hearing BG covering this song, especially since it sounds like it could have been sung by Farnham himself rather than a professional power metal band.
Wheel of Time is so epic it triggered the biggest literary rabbit hole of my life! I ended up reading not only all 15 WoT books, but basically everything from Brandon Sanderson which is easily twice that 😅
Tanelorn has always been one of the most fascinating topos of Blind Guardian. The solo starting 13:00 is outerworldly, if only that part would last longer
@@Stormcrow7 Thanks...I will. It's truly amazing that I missed it though... between me and my brother who target each other with new metal bands... He passed in a hurricane, and I guess he is still targeting me with the shit we missed.
Absolutely love this album! Saddened it was the last one with Oliver Holzwarth on bass. He's the reason I got serious about the instrument. But damn I love this album!
Holy crap, they actually removed the high pitched whine from "Curse my Name" At first I thought I was finally old enough to lose an 18khz tone, but checked an older version and sure enough, it's still there.
1:30:08 "The Once and Future King" is that a reference towards the King Arthur novels? 1:39:01 "I'm the Dragon Reborn" definitely related to The Wheel of Time
I love Blind Guardian. I love the songs on this album. Remember ordering both the album and the Voice In The Dark single around the time it was released. I hate with passion the job that was done on mixing/mastering. Honestly, nothing switched me away from Blind Guardian the way that all the clipping/distortion happen in Wheel Of Time. Whoever is responsible for this ruined a masterpiece. Most of the culprits listed below, if you never heard them I both feel happy and sorry for you. Starting with the orchestral version, as it does not have vocals to switch your attention away from the issues: 1:18:02 1:18:22 1:18:59 1:19:01 - two in quite quick succession 1:19:15 - another few next to each other 1:19:25 - same as above 1:19:30 Album version: 1:02:17 1:02:31 1:02:36 1:03:05 1:03:14 up to 17 1:03:29 - 2 more 1:03:37 - 3 more 1:03:44 - 2 more
They played two shows on the first 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise. I got to see them live twice on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. 😁 It was the most incredible experience!
@@Mordal1222 I'll setttle just for more love for BtRM as it is, it's BG's best !songwriting! production issues aside... but a remix/remaster !would! be nice
I love this band and all their music, but I must say that my favourite ones are probably those relating to Tolkien (or the Trojan War) because I can understand the references without feeling like an MCU meme. Anyway I enjoy them no matter that!
I noticed when I first started listening to BG that they seldom if ever use rhyme. When I heard this album I figured out why. They have two songs based on the works of John Milton here (Curse my Name and Control the Divine), and are clearly fans. Milton thought that rhyming in poetry or song was a cheap gimmick and restricted the artistic freedom of the writer.
You can come when you want,after vacations for example. And probé to sing all this songs you know sing not only for me i did It. For my Friends, and to eat until the shame.
I wish they'd tone down the plastic orchestral parts and limit them to intros and outros. Blind Guardian's problem has been quantity over quality since Nightfall basically. Just layer after layer of unnecessary stuff crammed into the songs instead of focusing on a few GOOD riffs and melodies. It's like listening to several songs simultaneously and neither of them is very good. :(
i said the same tjing every time i listened to a new one after nightfall... "masturbatory studio flagrancy" to be specific,, i said thst my first play through of Night at the opera. but ive found that theyve actually ascended. my all time favorite song is on ANATO. i never expected it. ASCEND brother, only then can you know the true gifts of the divine.
С выходом альбомов «Tales from the Twilight World» и «Somewhere Far Beyond» творчество данного коллектива, в принципе, заканчивается! А данное гавно не имеет к металлу никакого отношения!
Конечно Blind Guardian стали делать абсолютно не цепляющую музыку после 1992 года. Всё, что хоть как то может удерживать внимание, это бесподобный вокал Ханси Кюрша. Но из-за слабости материала и мелодической основы, - и он выглядит не так впечатляюще, как мог бы.
Pretty much. Beyond was mediocre with horrible production, The orchestra album again had bad production and was subpar at best and the God machine is their worst album ever.
@@King_Alistair6723God Machine their worst album ever? Way to prove you have no idea what you’re talking about. Both Red Mirror and God Machine are above At The Edge Of Time
@@eslwgpg1226 xD sure. Wheel of time alone is better than the whole god machine put together. And its not even close. Beyond is better than the god machine easily but it was mixed by a 5 year old, just like a twist in the myth. And I have seen BG 16 times live since 2002, when they had a real drummer. Best regards.
@@King_Alistair6723 you’re just plain wrong dude. God Machine is their 4th best behind Imaginations, Opera, and Nightfall. Edge Of Time ranks #8 at best. Life Beyond The Spheres, Damnation, Architects Of Doom, Destiny, Blood Of The Elves, and Secrets Of The American Gods all trump anything off of ATEOT.
Bought Sacred 2 because of this album. I started reading Wheel of Time because of this album. I started Game of Thrones because of this album. I started reading Michael Moorcock because of this album. It’s safe to say that Blind Guardian has been very influential on my life.
This was how I started listening to metal
@@GeorgeSithspawn007 I got into Blind Guardian from being a huge Tolkien fan
Long live Sacred 2, I was playing it earlier today, then I saw your comment this evening. :)
Sadly the studio behind Sacred 2 fell apart partially because of this. The cameos and extra cinematics caused further delays for a project already behind schedule and delayed a console release to the point where the studio could no longer pay the bills.

Der absolute Hammer ich bin seit Jahrzehnten großer Fan
🔥🤘
Still one of my favorite albums of all time.
I grabbed this album after hearing the song inside "Sacred 2" back when that came out, and I still regularly play this album. Its really f'n good. Honestly both the game and this album aged quite good.
I played sacred 2 all the way until that part and accidantally skipped it. Theres no way to re watch it in game either
@@larsheuker It is in the main menu, just don't remember whether you should finish the game or not
gotta install the game and see myself
I listened to this album so many times on the bus on my way to college, almost 10 years ago, great time to revisit it!
All the lyrics to the songs on the album in the order they appear in the video are in the replies to this comment. Enjoy this work of art.
00:00:00 and 01:03:56
Sacred Worlds
The realm's bleeding
It suffers
Old and weak
No further arguing
There is war at hand
The system's failing
Engines running
Then after all
I sense the end is dawning
These lunatics deny the truth
I know I will not fail
There'll be
War it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
(I'm coming home)
War it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home
Coming home
You chase in twilight
And you know
You will be on your own
On your own
The misery shown
I'll be alone in this hour
I'll face the unknown
Witness the end
I'm bleeding, I'm fading
Here in my final hour
When long-lost memories return
And a voice keeps calling
"All dead and gone
It's out of hand
Life is in motion"
I'm wishing, I'm fading
"Time to wake up
Face the truth"
I'm sinking
I'm drowning
There's no doubt, no regret
"Time to reveal now"
This is no illusion
It is real
Carry on the flame
It's not over now
Watch me, I will rise
Time to reveal now
I know I will not fail
Anymore
I'll go on forever
All that really matters
Blessed realm
This world is sacred
(I'm coming home)
War it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
(I'm coming home)
Yesterday's gone
There's no today, no tomorrow
I'm raised from the dead
The ritual failed
There at the gates
I'm left alone in this hour
Driven insane
I am left alone
And now I drown in deepest shadows
While the golden hall is sealed
I'm wishing
I'm fading
And I'm part of the machine
My eyes are the eyes of a dead man
And I feel the unholy stream
The source of my power
T-energy
I'm in control
I will live forever
All that really matters
Find the one
This world is sacred
(I'm coming home)
War it's now or never
We shall stand together
One by one
This world is sacred
I'm coming home
I spread my wings
But keep on falling
I should have known
I can see it coming
The war is over
There's whispering in the wind
Just let me out of here
There is no way
There's no end
While all the suffering goes on
All that I know
Is that I'm not insane
It's not over
00:09:18 Tanelorn (Into The Void)
I travel a dusty old road
And carry on in ultimate terror
The torture will grow
While infinity's lost
The lunatic fears the unknown
Into the fire
Curse me
Unknown
Into the fire
Everything is gone
Did I miss the point
Or fail to see
That I am lost
Cause I am chosen
Crush another tower
Grind the universe
I'll tear it into pieces
Mourn forevermore
And here I
Cry for Tanelorn
Still I fear the voices
Cry for Tanelorn
No more fear, no voices
Cry for Tanelorn
Into the void this journey ends
I cry for Tanelorn
The dawn comes crashing down
Into the void
My locked up asylum
Don't turn your back
On your prodigal son
When terror is raging
Still my hate will grow
Here on my own
I've built a pyre, oh fire
Here on my own
I've wasted life
So weak
A dark sword
A black soul
My soulmate gets near
Deceiver
Deceiver
I'm banned from the island
Refuse me, deny me
I'm pale and I'm weak
Now I don't belong here anymore
Cry for Tanelorn
Still I fear the voices
Cry for Tanelorn
No more fear, no voices
Cry for Tanelorn
Into the void this journey ends
I cry for Tanelorn
The dawn comes crashing down
Into the void
The trouble of many I've seen
It's coming to an end
Here's my last stand
The torture at last
Will be gone with the past
Infinity, where will I go?
Into the fire
Curse me
In war
Into the fire
Everything is gone
It's your blood I desire
The last soul I require
Right after all the damage will be gone
And here I
Cry for Tanelorn
Still I fear the voices
Cry for Tanelorn
No more fear, no voices
"Feeding my void
Feeding my void
Here at the edge, I claim your soul"
Cry for Tanelorn
The dawn comes crashing down
Into the void
Stormbringer
All hail Stormbringer
00:15:17 Road of No Release
Dead girl:
Please, sister, wake me up
You've traveled far
Release my mind
Sing this song of mine
Save me from drowning
Quick, cast your spell on me
I sense you're finally getting near
Can you hear me crying?
I've got to break the silence
The lover:
I know they're out there
Play hide and seek
Watching
My love is waste
The storyteller:
My worst dreams
I can't leave them
I'm the black queen
Here in barren lands
The fox:
When you walk down
You may not find relief
Will you go down there?
I wonder
Wonder why
All:
Here on this road of no release
Pale reign of misery
That even time cannot erase
On through my sorrows
Life will go on
Dead girl:
Words and dreams unite
I hear an ancient voice
It's calling me
When death and life collide
I hear an ancient song
The ressurrected girl:
Deep inside
I can't find myself
Can't remember at all
The past and my strange end
Come guide me now
Can't remember my fall
There's something
There's someone
It ain't over now
The void - there's more to it
It's real and still alive
The necromancer:
I will find you
Slipping away
I'll bind you
Still I conquer the world
Take him away
All:
Here on this road of no release
Pale reign of misery
That even time cannot erase
On through my sorrows
Life will go on
The fox:
My last steps
Can't leave her
I, the old fox
Will take revenge
Old man:
I cannot heal your fear and doubts
The void, it waits for us
Still after all the ghosts are howling
You cannot run, you cannot hide
The void, it waits for us
Still after all there is no choice
All:
Here on this road of no release
Pale reign of misery
That even time cannot erase
On through my sorrows
Life will go on
The girl:
Find me, I'm drowning
Then once again
There's nothing left I fear
There's nothing more to say
And no more games to play
To play
00:21:48 Ride Into Obsession
Come, I show you the end
You're damned
Cause no one can defy me
Just watch these maddened creatures
Like you they all once reached out
A war to win
But I'm gonna burn this vision down
Call me the father of lies
Just watch these saddened creatures
They've turned you into their savior
You hold your ground
Until your last breath
You'll twist then turn
And now you're falling down
The battle rages on
And forever and ever
The wheel will turn
Let ages come and go
The wheel will turn now
The wheel will turn
Another ride into obsession
I am reborn
The wheel will turn now
And I am driven into obsession
All these dying men
Try to understand
They all followed the sign
It's a cycle's end
There's no hope
For a while
From the ashes arise
Can't you save her
Enjoy the flames
So precious, so pure
And you try
You're sure to fail
And madness
Is the price you've to pay
Unholy grounds
Witness your last breath
The cycle ends
And you're stumbling
The battle will go on
And forever and ever
It's raging on
Let ages come and go
The wheel will turn now
The wheel will turn
Another ride into obsession
I am reborn
The wheel will turn now
And I'm driven to obsession
Through the flames you'll see me
You'll be mine, believe me
This is the moment I long for
Wake up there's storm to face and
Right now while the land lies bleeding
It's me, I conquer your soul
Still I'll be on my way
Oh, light, let me out of here I pray
And over and over and over again
There is no beginning
No end
This war, it still goes on
And forever and ever
I will return
Let ages come and go
The wheel will turn now
The wheel will turn
Another ride into obsession
I am reborn
The wheel will turn now
And I'm driven to obsession
Light - so serene
True source reign over me
There's no end and
There's no beginning
"You will never be alone"
00:26:35 Curse My Name
The tenure of kings and their magistrates
By good men it must be deposed
The covenant made can be voided at once
Disanoint him, take his crown
They plead for their king
And they pity their lord
Put him to death, that's what I say
Though never so just these dancing divines
Endue him with reason and grace
They're gibberish
Words dissemble the facts
God's will
They falsely will claim
Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name
But remember the truth
So there they come
From everywhere
The witness revenge
Hear them calling
" You're laden with blood
It's spilled everywhere”
And sorrow's everlasting
Oh you'll be aware now
That trial is near
It's close at hand
The masquerade is over
It ends
(Remove his crown
And bring him down)
Now we shall mourn no longer
Our prayers they've been heard
We won't take it anymore
And we're one we are the nation
(We won't take it anymore)
And we're one we are the law
(We won't take it anymore)
And we're one we are the nation
(We won't take it anymore)
And we're one we are the law
Falsely they praise
Deify his majesty
He's blessed the anointed's
Fulfilling God's will
Curse them all
No further he's king
Providence brought him straight into our hands
Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name but remember the truth
Now let him appear
There's joy in the air
Now witness a new age is dawning
In trouble alone
He's facing despair
Awaiting his bitter ending
We all know he's guilty as charged
By punishment due to his crime
We sacrifice the wicked king
Acknowledged by scriptures and law
Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name but remember the truth
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name but remember the truth
(We won't take it anymore)
Our voice it shall be heard
(We won't take it anymore)
But I will remember the truth
Everyone here is like "oh Blind Guardian made me read The Wheel of Time" meanwhile i'm just like "The Wheel of Time made me come to listen to Blind Guardian". I deeply loved Robert Jordan's books, and when Sanderson took up the pen to finish the epic i feel like he did it true justice. Unlike what Amazon did >.>
Same. Favourite series ever. Sanderson knocked it out of the park I think. A lot of the time I actually forgot that I wasn't reading Jordan's work.
First time seeing Blind Guardian live, and they open with Sacred Worlds
You're The Voice
John Farnham
We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better
Oh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
Oh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
(We're not gonna sit in silence) we're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
It's weird hearing BG covering this song, especially since it sounds like it could have been sung by Farnham himself rather than a professional power metal band.
Wheel of Time is so epic it triggered the biggest literary rabbit hole of my life! I ended up reading not only all 15 WoT books, but basically everything from Brandon Sanderson which is easily twice that 😅
Yessssss
Awesome!
Did you read Elric of Melnibone after reading Tanelorn?! I absolutely suggest it
А Генри Лайона Олди вы читали что нибудь? Попробуйте, если конечно у вас уже есть англо-язычные переводы этого автора.
Maybe if the series wasn't so epic, the author would have lived long enough to finish it. . .
Tanelorn has always been one of the most fascinating topos of Blind Guardian. The solo starting 13:00 is outerworldly, if only that part would last longer
My favorite album from Blind Guardian !!
This album is pretty amazing. What a composition it is. Only Blind Guardian can play this. BG is a supergroup. Well done!
Valkyries too, its a great track, very anthem-style chorus. I love it!
This album has some incredible orchestrations going on.
Where have I been these last 13 years? How could I have missed this... They are excellent!
Just 13 years? Go back to the very beginning, late 80s, Lucifer's Heritage and listen to what you have missed ;)
THIRTEEN? theyre going on 40 years, and if its you thats 13, you really missed out on a good earth, so sorry.
oh.. somebody already said that. another time cant hurt tho
@@innerunderbelly Send me a list of all of their albums... or a link that will tell me.
@@Stormcrow7 Thanks...I will. It's truly amazing that I missed it though... between me and my brother who target each other with new metal bands... He passed in a hurricane, and I guess he is still targeting me with the shit we missed.
Wheel of time (orchestral version) is fantastic!
13 years? I don't believe it. This still feels like it just came out.
Portugal here 🇵🇹
💚💚💚💚💚💚
Going to experience them live in less than a week!
This album is so damn good! I liked it more than some of the classic old ones.
Amazing 🇧🇷
This is one awesome album, wow!💗🎯
Easily their best album from start to finish. The perfect blend of consistency, variety, and majesty.
Danke
Absolutely love this album! Saddened it was the last one with Oliver Holzwarth on bass. He's the reason I got serious about the instrument. But damn I love this album!
si Oliver le influyó para tocar el Bajo...Escuche entonces a CLiff Burton !!!:.
Cliff is the reason I picked up the bass. Oliver is the reason I got serious about it
Cliff, es mucho mejor..Fue un innovador y pionero en su tiempo.@@jaketate7257
Ride into obsession = great track!
My personal favourite album to write dungeons and dragons to.
Greetings from Brazil🤘
Holy crap, they actually removed the high pitched whine from "Curse my Name"
At first I thought I was finally old enough to lose an 18khz tone, but checked an older version and sure enough, it's still there.
Unfortunately you are losing your hearing. I was still able to hear it on this version
My favorite!
Streaming or not the warriors of metal bow before the Great Blind Guardian! see you at Teatro Flores in Argentina my beloved band! 🇦🇷👏🏻✊🏻🤘🏻🙌🏻
Blind Guardian to fantasy is the same as Iron Maiden or Sabaton to military history
Great album, almost as good as the 90's albums. (been a fan for almost 30 years, so I'm biased though)
We Love You.
1:30:08 "The Once and Future King" is that a reference towards the King Arthur novels?
1:39:01 "I'm the Dragon Reborn" definitely related to The Wheel of Time
...the song is called "Wheel of Time"?
@@brokenglass9814 No i'm talking about the demo version of A Voice in the Dark
And Tanelorn is Elric of Melnibone
I love Blind Guardian.
I love the songs on this album. Remember ordering both the album and the Voice In The Dark single around the time it was released.
I hate with passion the job that was done on mixing/mastering.
Honestly, nothing switched me away from Blind Guardian the way that all the clipping/distortion happen in Wheel Of Time. Whoever is responsible for this ruined a masterpiece.
Most of the culprits listed below, if you never heard them I both feel happy and sorry for you.
Starting with the orchestral version, as it does not have vocals to switch your attention away from the issues:
1:18:02
1:18:22
1:18:59
1:19:01 - two in quite quick succession
1:19:15 - another few next to each other
1:19:25 - same as above
1:19:30
Album version:
1:02:17
1:02:31
1:02:36
1:03:05
1:03:14 up to 17
1:03:29 - 2 more
1:03:37 - 3 more
1:03:44 - 2 more
goated album
By far the best BG album 👍🏼
🍆
Imaginations from the other side >>>>>>>>>
No, you're talking about Nightfall In Middle Earth
Its so hard to choose a favourite, I love them all for various reasons.
Experiencing a LIVE show is Beyond This World !!! VALHALLA 😎
They played two shows on the first 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise. I got to see them live twice on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. 😁 It was the most incredible experience!
Awesome album 🤘🤘💯💯💯
And for dance with this other or with another as you prefer.
We have speak about it.
I love it. Great work!
A full stream for Beyond the Red Mirror next please🖤🔥
Remixed and remastered Beyond the Red Mirror please 🖤🔥
@@Mordal1222 I'll setttle just for more love for BtRM as it is, it's BG's best !songwriting! production issues aside... but a remix/remaster !would! be nice
Saw 5 times on this tour ❤
I love you guys hell yeah!!!
Dari Indonesia mana suara nya 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Masterpiece!
I liked the Curse my name demo even more than the real one
Masterpiece
I love this band and all their music, but I must say that my favourite ones are probably those relating to Tolkien (or the Trojan War) because I can understand the references without feeling like an MCU meme. Anyway I enjoy them no matter that!
Τρομερό album και μελωδικό και ορχηστρικό.
super
Nice!
Good, i suposse that this is now practiced
Sweet
Великолепная группа!!!👍альбом потрясающий безумно 🔥🖤🖤🖤🔥🤘🤘🤘музыка оболденая.песни замечательные!!!все потрясающе и здорово..

War of thrones forever!

Eu não poderia ficar longe da minha banda favorita, jamais! 🤘

I noticed when I first started listening to BG that they seldom if ever use rhyme. When I heard this album I figured out why. They have two songs based on the works of John Milton here (Curse my Name and Control the Divine), and are clearly fans. Milton thought that rhyming in poetry or song was a cheap gimmick and restricted the artistic freedom of the writer.
🤘🔥
Still have the t-shirt!
Missing Alternative Versions of Wheel of Time and Curse my name, Metal Hammer Sacred Worlds Version + Curse my name original version.
🤘
I'm intrigued. Their music is so unique & different than what I usually listen to; but that's a good thing.👏🫠
Very intrigued. 😏👌
💥👍
You can come when you want,after vacations for example.
And probé to sing all this songs you know sing not only for me i did It.
For my Friends, and to eat until the shame.
💪❤️🤘

I'm still trying to get around the high pitched whine near the end of Curse My Name. I love this song but it irks me so ;-;
BG sounds better when they are symphonic
please make music for Sacred 4, without you the game will be much worse =-)
I wish they'd tone down the plastic orchestral parts and limit them to intros and outros. Blind Guardian's problem has been quantity over quality since Nightfall basically. Just layer after layer of unnecessary stuff crammed into the songs instead of focusing on a few GOOD riffs and melodies. It's like listening to several songs simultaneously and neither of them is very good. :(
i said the same tjing every time
i listened to a new one after nightfall... "masturbatory studio flagrancy" to be specific,, i said thst my first play through of Night at the opera. but ive found that theyve actually ascended. my all time favorite song is on ANATO. i never expected
it. ASCEND brother, only then can you know the true gifts of the divine.
С выходом альбомов «Tales from the Twilight World» и «Somewhere Far Beyond» творчество данного коллектива, в принципе, заканчивается! А данное гавно не имеет к металлу никакого отношения!
А 95/98 чем плохи?
Конечно Blind Guardian стали делать абсолютно не цепляющую музыку после 1992 года. Всё, что хоть как то может удерживать внимание, это бесподобный вокал Ханси Кюрша. Но из-за слабости материала и мелодической основы, - и он выглядит не так впечатляюще, как мог бы.
95/98 отличные альбомы.
havent put out anything good after this one. maybe a song here and there. before that they had a 7 album run of amazing music.
Beyond the Red Mirror, Legacy of the Darklands, and The God Machine are all beautiful in their own way. Fucking fight me
Pretty much. Beyond was mediocre with horrible production, The orchestra album again had bad production and was subpar at best and the God machine is their worst album ever.
@@King_Alistair6723God Machine their worst album ever? Way to prove you have no idea what you’re talking about. Both Red Mirror and God Machine are above At The Edge Of Time
@@eslwgpg1226 xD sure. Wheel of time alone is better than the whole god machine put together. And its not even close. Beyond is better than the god machine easily but it was mixed by a 5 year old, just like a twist in the myth. And I have seen BG 16 times live since 2002, when they had a real drummer. Best regards.
@@King_Alistair6723 you’re just plain wrong dude. God Machine is their 4th best behind Imaginations, Opera, and Nightfall. Edge Of Time ranks #8 at best.
Life Beyond The Spheres, Damnation, Architects Of Doom, Destiny, Blood Of The Elves, and Secrets Of The American Gods all trump anything off of ATEOT.
