Nightfall in Middle-Earth album Product Description


Nightfall in Middle-Earth album by Blind Guardian was released May 19, 2009 on the Century Media (USA) label. Complete with anthemic choruses, spoken word story lines, and plenty of bombastic power metal punctuating every dramatic turn, Nightfall in Middle-Earth is perhaps Blind Guardian's most triumphant effort. Nightfall in Middle-Earth music CDs After spending ten years and numerous releases building a large following in Europe and Japan, Blind Guardian took on the task of creating this progressive concept record based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novel The Silmarillion. Nightfall in Middle-Earth songs The story recounts events from the first age of Middle-Earth, Tolkien's parallel world that serves as the mythological backdrop for his classic Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Blind Guardian interpretation features bassist/vocalist Hansi Kürsch's first-person character portrayals and narrations of the medieval quest for truth and glory. It's really quite grandiose. Except for a couple of quick-paced numbers, Blind Guardian favors an operatic prog rock approach on Nightfall in Middle-Earth, suggesting comparisons to Queen, with dense choir-like vocal harmonies set against swirling multi-part guitar lines. Kürsch lacks the technical abilities of metal's most theatrical frontmen, but his conviction and craftiness make up for these limitations as the vocalist stretches and twists his voice to create that rarest of metal attributes, a genuine sonic signature.   ...See Full Description

One of the greatest concept albums of all time
This album is a masterpiece straight out of Middle-Earth. Full of power, love, hate, anger, sorrow...Metal! It recounts the tale of Morgoths lust & reign of the Silmarils, and the betrayal & struggles within the elves. With stunning emotion I might add. For anyone familiar with Tolken's works, or any Blind Guardian fan, this is a must have. A timeless Story to have in your collection. Truly Epic Power metal at its finest.

Not worth your time/money.
Okay. Two stars for the songs "Mirror Mirror", "The Curse of Feanor" and "When Sorrow Sang", because those tracks are actually kinda neat. However, most of this album is horribly cheesy predictable power metal with cheap-sounding synths and irritating over-the-top high pitched vocals. If you want good, non-cheesy power metal, I would suggest getting into Kamelot. Stay clear from this!
