Top 10 Heaviest Blind Guardian Songs
I made this list because I've been asked pretty often about the heaviest Blind Guardian songs.Blind Guardian aren't an extreme band so you should't expect something very very heavy. But they are heavier than most of the bands in the respective subgenres - power metal, speed metal and even symphonic metal.
What is 'heavy' in metal?
Songs that are faster, more aggressive, more abrasive and have higher levels of distortion (including vocals - voice distortion, screams).
Also, songs that focus less on melody (although Blind Guardian subgenres are still very melodic by default).
The songs on this list aren't among the most known (most loved) Blind Guardian songs namely because they are heavier.
A song from their debut album in 1988 - one of their fastest and most aggressive songs, with probably their most violent lyrics as well.
They named the band after this song - their name was Lucifer's Heritage before the debut album but they changed it because their demos were placed in with black metal albums at local record shops and Blind Guardian wanted to avoid any speculations about Satanism in the future.
They already had this song and made the decision about their name.
Hardcore power metal? LOL (there's no such subgenre guys but... how can I describe this song? )
A great speed metal song, probably my #1 speed metal song of all time.
It has heavy riffs and frequent systematic screams that make it sound heavy. A 10/10 song for me.
The riff is very heavy (1:05) for power metal but it's one of their best riffs. Great and emotionally intense song, one of my favorites on the 1998 album.
