So my coworker and I have been shitting a collective house today. Why are our respective assholes gapping wide open? Well, it has to do with a little metal outfit named Blind Guardian. This band fucking rips. Their new album - A Twist in the Myth (Nuclear Blast) - comes out early this fall, and it will make you puke your guts out. Just wait until you hear the opener "This Will Never End".

Jay (10:39:17 AM): "Rise Up My Sister/Let's Cross the Portal"
Eric (10:39:29 AM): which ones that
Eric (10:39:33 AM): bling guardian?
Jay (10:39:40 AM): it's a lyric in the first track

Jay (10:40:37 AM): naked underneath
Eric (10:40:42 AM): and despair
Eric (10:48:17 AM): Blind Guardian's music is characterized by the classic fast guitars and double bass drumming of power metal, but is relatively unique in its use of overdubs to create an extremely dense, "epic" sound. This technique, especially notable in the guitar and vocal tracks, creates the impression of a vast army of musicians playing in unison and singing in harmony
Eric (10:50:57 AM): damn, dude
Eric (10:51:08 AM): they're shit is ultra mystical
Eric (10:51:16 AM): a little too mystical for my taste
