Top Ten Most Beautiful Blind Guardian Album Covers

Everything's eligible - all albums and singles, including Live albums and "Best of".

Their album covers are as beautiful as their music and lyrics. Beautiful and dark elements go hand in hand - dwarves, dragons, aliens, bats, magicians, bards, guardians...

Most of the cover paintings are created by Andreas Marshall (1990-2003).
The Top Ten
1 Live - 2003

"Live" is their second live album. And the last cover paintings by Andreas Marshall.
I love this cover - its medieval atmosphere is wonderful. A cool idea is the "Bard's Tavern", where the bards from Blind Guardian play live. You can even see one of the bards through the tavern window.
Blind Guardian really take you to another place in every sense.

3 At The Edge Of Time - 2010
4 Imaginations From The Other Side - 1995

5 Somewhere Far Beyond - 1992

6 Nightfall in Middle-Earth - 1998

So many details, so many things happening; this scene is vivid! You can imagine Lúthien dancing at the sound of Blind Guardian's songs while Morgoth is fascinated/excited by the beautiful performance and Beren (as a wolf) trying to pass unnoticed while fears for Lúthien's and his own safety, hoping to reach the Simarills and the court also is mesmerized by the dancing! Which music maybe is playing at this moment? Nightfall? Noldor? Thorn? Harvest of Sorrow? Blood Tears? Magnificent is a small word to the greatness of this art!
