oh, by the way, thank you so much as well for your supportive comment (and I'm sorry that you had to read that ><) but... that comment is my brother's... we are always teasing and bothering each other. but again, thank you :)
@celticgirl08 haha well this is embarrassing... i just thought that comment was a little uncalled for. As for the song, I don't know how well you can actually hear it over the other instruments. Also, the version I have has this annoying high pitched tone near the end in the recording so i don't listen to it too much
Curse My Name and Road Of No Release are two of the most beautifully composed songs from BG, in my opinion. The amount of effort put into these songs makes you really look up to these guys, know?
aber es geht mir nicht in den Kopf. Warum wird EIN Song in verschiedenen Studios aufgenommen? Flöte in Studio A, Piano in Studio B, Trommeln in C usw. Hat das nen Grund?
Yea wheel of time is a greater masterpiece then I thought when I first heard it, its now in my top 3 list of fucking awsome songs.( Dantes inferno from iced earth, and and then there was silence, maybe Rhyme of the ancient mariner can get a space aswell
@WiteBot O yea...wait...make that top 4...Poet and the pendulum is maybe the greatest orchestral thing I have ever heard. I listen to it as though there is words too move me. Beethoven can go suck it.
@thundermorphine The last time Hansi played bass on the albums was on Imaginations from the Other Side. Since Nightfall in Middle-Earth they've consistently used Oliver Holzwarth as a session bassist.
@Painjoiker Hansi still holds to the notion that maybe he could pick up bass again someday, so he doesn't want to officially make Oliver's place permanent.
Oh man, I'm so fucking pumped for this album. I love all the instruments used in this clip, and the piano and violin had particularly nice melodies. Also, some killer bass playing by Oliver at the end.
This album promises A GREAT QUALITY IN MUSICAL COMPOSITION! Surely Hansi & Co. improved GREATLY this time, but it will be interesting if they get to bring this funtastic sound in live performing ^^
This...has...tap...dancing....I'm pretty sure I just died a little inside. This album is going to be just insanely epic, and I cannot WAIT for this!!!!!
huh well i guess their sticking closely to the sound they have been going with since night at the oprea from what i hear in these vids and the sample they released will always love this band but got to say im worried...
Wow. That was incredible. I am SO STOKED for this album. And as has been said, it's great that there is so much being done outside of a keyboard. AWESOME.
The more I hear this band, the more I feel why this band is my favorite . The more I hear these samples , the more I feel that this album will be made out of awesome and win.
Wohooo, da möchte man doch eben mal schnell mal ein Instrument lernen, damit man in Zukunft vielleicht auch mal ein Gastmusiker sein könnte.....
Sowas könnte man ja mal verlosen, einen kleinen Teil als Fan zur CD beitragen zu dürfen wäre ein absolutes Highlght ( und wenn es nur die Triangel ist ;)
Kann es kaum erwarten, da hole ich mal meine alte Blockflöte aus dem Keller um die Zeit zu überbrücken.
Wow... looks like this album it's going to be fucking EPIC... I hope "nightfall" epic though, not so "a night..." epic. Nightfall had the precise instruments. On every chorus, bridges and pre-bridges they where just perfectly placed. A night... was a little overloaded I think. Anyways, for what I'm listening this should be better than A twist in the myth :)
@enumerado Oi dude...no! Bloody hel you can't get more epic then ANATO!
nightfall was expertly crafted but anato built on that to be so awsomly complex that it is for me the best cd ever made.
I think guardian's last 3 albums(With the 2010 one the 3d) can be compared to maiden's last three...brave world,dance of death, matter of life... hopefully ''At the edge of time'' will beat a ''matter of life and death'''....
@DanCPV85 Why should they not sing about orcs again!?
Lol first thing that came to my mind, it sounds alot like some marching, And orcs like doing that. Anyway iam not sure what all their songs will be about, more wheel of thime i think, but they will have a marching in there somewhere
Riverdance is a theatrical show consisting of traditional Irish stepdancing, notable for its rapid leg movements while body and arms are kept largely stationary.
@bluememeitschi it is actually Irish dancing. those shoes (with those buckles) are Irish, as well as the girls' dresses. there are some steps that are not too "complicated" in Irish dancing – they are not always difficult.
If these girls were tapdancers only, they would be able to move their arms and their dancing shoes would be very different. However, I agree with what you said about Riverdance being a show.
this is how the geniusrecord their music blind guardian is fucking awesome
