Metal albums we can't wait to get or couldn't wait to get.
The Top Ten
1 Blind Guardian Blind Guardian is a German power metal band formed in the mid-1980s in West Germany. They are often credited as one of the seminal and most influential bands in the power metal and speed metal subgenres. Heavily influenced by Queen, they use the technique of overdubbing. They also incorporate large amounts of orchestral arrangements. Hansi Kürsch creates a huge choir effect by overdubbing his own voice multiple times in complex, overlapping harmonies. Thanks to overdubs and numerous backing vocals Blind Guardian stand out with a very dense sound.

You never go wrong with Blind Guardian because they never disappoint although they are the least repetitive metal band of all time and you never know what sub genre they are gonna do.

In 2015 they released a symphonic metal album for the first time and the album is awesome.
