Startingoff as a young band that genuinely understood what made their idolsMetallica great, that being their melodic sensibilities and senseof grandeur, Blind Guardian ran with those ideas as far as theycould and were not interested with the singular minded rhythmiconslaught that others derived from Metallica. Albums likeBattalions Of Fear and Follow The Blind featured fast riffs anddouble bass drumming but as a vehicle for the melodies to shinefrom. Come Somewhere Far Beyond the band had started to experimentwith acoustic guitars and the inclusion of folk melodies whilestill maintaining the ferocious pace of their previous releases.The 1995 album, Imagininations From The Other Side, saw the bandfully embracing those ideas and shed away the speed metal-isms infavour of a much more brooding album that relies more than ever onthe band’s fantastic sense of melody. Many of the song titlesmislead the listener into believing that these are whimsical songsabout dragons, magic and drinking ale in dwarven tarvens. while thefantasy influence is undeniable, the themes presented here revolvearound the decline of sanity, isolation, fear, mind control andmore importantly partial triumph in a broken world. Back in 1995Blind Guardian were the uncontested kings of European power metal.This album features a show at Docks in Hamburg on the 14th of May1995 just a month from the release date of Imagininations From TheOther Side. Here you can hear the band perform many of their newtracks live. And as if that wasnt enough we also have 3 bonustracks taped at an unplugged performance the band did at a recordstore in Västerås, Sweden on the 10th of October 1996. A must havefor fans of this band
