Blind Guardian<\/strong> is a German power metal<\/a> band formed in 1984 in Krefeld<\/a>, West Germany<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are often credited as one of the seminal and most influential bands in the power metal and speed metal<\/a>subgenres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine musicians have been a part of the band’s line-up in its history, which has consisted of singer Hansi K\u00fcrsch<\/a>, guitarists Andr\u00e9 Olbrich<\/a> and Marcus Siepen<\/a>, drummer Frederik Ehmke since 2005, and bassist Johan Van Stratum since 2021.[6]<\/a>[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blind Guardian is a part of the German heavy metal scene<\/a> that emerged in the mid-1980s. The band was formed in 1984 as Lucifer’s Heritage<\/strong> by K\u00fcrsch (then also bassist), Olbrich, other guitarist Markus D\u00f6rk and drummer Thomas Stauch<\/a>. D\u00f6rk and Stauch both left the following year, and were replaced by Christof Thei\u00dfen and Hans-Peter Frey respectively, who left as well before the end of the year. In 1987, Siepen joined and Stauch returned; under this line-up, which lasted 18 years (the longest in the band’s history), the band changed their name to Blind Guardian and released their first album, Battalions of Fear<\/a><\/em>, in 1988. They have since released ten more studio albums, including an orchestral album<\/a> that was released under the name Blind Guardian Twilight Orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
