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. Blind Guardian keep a healthy balance between anthemic-sounding choruses and not too catchy sounding choruses. I can't say that about most of the other power metal bands, such Helloween, Stratovarious, Rhapsody Of Fire, Gamma Ray, Nightwish, and so on. Those bands tend to sound too poppy at times, and their choruses - too cheesy (music-wise).
