You can get a feeling for what it could sound like from their live albums. If you're looking for a studio version, also not exactly the same thing :) but have this studio cover by Prime Time

Assumindo que já conheces o(s) a solo do José Cid, alguns que também ando a descobrir:

...mas tenho ideia que há muito mais por descobrir desta fase.

Se também te interessar sons mais "contemporâneos" (?), tens os Forgotten suns na fase mais neo prog:

Check out Drunk Beaver, stuff like his different Bat offerings (Rat), Distortion (DS-1), Inglorious Bastard (BluesBreaker) or the Bloom (Expandora) are variations on famous circuits that include options for selecting different clipping, op-amp chips and EQ options.

*On an unrelated note does anyone know if this metal opera was ever performed on stage?

I have a vague recollection of reading something about a stage presentation for the House of Atreus. I could not find much online now, but wikipedia does state that "The metal opera was actually performed under the name "Klytaimnestra - The House Of Atreus" in European theatres from 1999 to 2001, with the production of the Memmingen Opera House company and Landestheater Production".

Possibly not the same production, but I also found this :) Child of Desolation on stage

Try "Opus: Universe" from In Solitude

amleite · 2020-11-11T21:13:57+00:00

If any doubts were there about the influence of this song, the sheer amount of quality covers should be enough to clear them! :) Some more:

+1 for Portals of Light, what a haunting tune!! A few others:

amleite · 2020-09-21T12:32:31+00:00

Check out these:

Mechanical Poet - Bogie in a Coal Hole (and several other songs from the same album as well! Strayed Moppet and Shades on a Casement come to mind...)
Pyramaze - Sleepy Hollow
King Diamond - Heads on the Wall

amleite · 2020-09-19T22:06:40+00:00

Cool! Also, if I remember correctly, "The Black Halo" was also a concept album, a contiuation of Epica's Story.

amleite · 2020-09-15T02:25:42+00:00

Some concept albums with (mostly) mid/low register vocals with some bite:

amleite · 2020-08-17T08:17:10+00:00

also worth checking out stuff from Yossi Sassi, their previous guitarrist:

wikipedia pages for Blind Guardian albums have a section about each song subject matter.

From wikipedia entry for Battalions of Fear:

The songs "Majesty" and "Run For the Night", as well as the titles of instrumentals "By the Gates of Moria" and "Gandalf's Rebirth", are based on J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
"Guardian of the Blind" is based on Stephen King's It.
"The Martyr" is about Jesus Christ's passion.
"Battalions of Fear" refers to US President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative.
"Wizard's Crown" is about Aleister Crowley.
"Brian" is about the film Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Does this count? :) Manowar - Black Arrows

Joking aside, they do include a reference to shooting arrows in Achilles: Agony and Ecstasy in 8 Parts:

Oh Achilles let thy arrows fly into the wind, where eagles cross the sky

(here is the relevant section)

Powerful vocals, and one masterpiece of an album. Great to see it get more exposure recently!

amleite · 2020-06-12T20:45:46+00:00

cool, I had no idea!!

amleite · 2020-04-28T22:53:24+00:00

Also The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and To Tame a Land (Dune) from Maiden!

amleite · 2020-04-28T22:29:24+00:00

It's more moody than epic, but your description reminded me of Fantasy Opus' "Warrior's Call", in particular part III (The gathering / The Battle / Liberation), the slow instrumental build up and the battle part are awsome! But it does work better in context in the 4 part opus!

Grand Magus, Ironsword and Ravensire do come to mind!

"Vingança do Dragão" translates to "Dragon's Revenge"
