I was wondering if anyone has picked up the new Blind Guardian single "Fly". It doesnt seem like its coming to the States anytime soon which I find very dissappointing. |

I'm sure there will be some good stuff on the new album. But I'm not expecting another Nightfall. |

Brahm, check the News thread. You heard the Therion song with Hansi doing vocals. The song is from their Deggial album, the real song is much more like a Blind Guardian song. NESS lead us all astray! I knew that song sounded like Therion!

I knew that song sounded slightly familiar (been a long time since I've listened to Deggial)... And the Therion vibe was definitely there. Thanks for the heads up, man... Can't wait to hear the actual thing. |

I love what I've heard of Therion (four albums or so), so I actually liked the song. I was playing the real single the other day and halfway through "Fly" I was like, "Hold up? WTF?" Hahaha. It's definitely a good song, the "In A Gadda Da Vida" cover is awesome, I think, too. |

It is actually a pretty good song; it was just in the context of it being a Blind Guardian song that I was worried. In any case, thanks once again for the heads up; I'm downloading it at the moment (apparently from Husker) and can't wait to listen. |

The beginning is kind of odd, kind of like...I don't know..."dancey?" Hahaha. It's weird. |

Ya, that really is a weird beginning.. But besides that, the song is completely excellent. Onto Skalds and Shadows. |

So soddy! *Asian sorry* I liked this song muuuch better than the original one I posted. I'm expecting another 90+ album. |

Finally got my hands on this (downloaded it from Nuclear Blast online shop) and so far so good, though its still a freakin tease of whats to come. Fly was very different from what I am used to from these guys, I think they attempted to blend alot of the styles from their previous album into this one, overall really cool though some parts feel a little too proggy to me. Skalds and Shadows reminds me of A Past and Future Secret with the very medieval acoustic guitars (almost like something out of Blackmore's Night), I like these kinds of songs, just so long as they dont make up a majority of the new album. In A Gadda da Vida is a real kick ass cover, probably one of Blind Guardian's heavier performances. So far I am very happy with Fredrick Ehmke as the new BG drummer. I think he has a more aggresive style behind the drum kit than Thomen did, more like a Scott Travis. |

The version of "Skalds and Shadows" on the single is an exclusive acoustic version, it won't appear on the album this way. I don't know if it'll be heavy, or the same style just with more going on. We'll have to wait and see. It's a good song as is, so I can't imagine it being bad on the full-length. |
