Bio:
Edguy is a power metal band from Fulda, Germany that was formed in 1992.More than two million discs sold, sold out concerts in 37 countries all over America, Australia, Asia, and Europe, one of the first German bands to play gigs in places like Israel and China, extensive tours and shows with global icons Aerosmith, the Scorpions, Iron Maiden and now, armed with their 9th studio album “Age Of The Joker", Edguy is back. On August 26th EDGUY's new masterpiece will hit the stores.
Album:
The EDGUY classic "Mandrake" is released as a remastered "Anniversary Editon" for the 20th birthday.With the album, the band went on their first headlining tour, and in 2017 was voted by Loudwire as the 20th best power metal album of all time.This is Edguy the motherfucking way Edguy should be done! Fast, furious, and powerful metal in the take-no-bullshit, offer-no-apologies European Power Metal style that kicks ass and takes names by the bucketful.What Edguy really gets right here is that they stop trying to be Blind Guardian or something else that they're NOT and instead focus on being the European Power Metal gods that they ARE. The guitars are incredible, with fast-as-a-hungry-stripper riffs and solos that rip the pants right off your legs. It's that fucking good. The drums are playing beats that go with the music, and the result is an overall sounds that can be headbanged to for all eternity. Even Tobis Sammet doesn't suck all that much here--it seems like he got his shit together and actually TRIED to hit the notes, as opposed to the almost depressingly poor intonation of earlier albums.Highlights: Golden Dawn. Best Edguy song ever, and one of OSheaman's Top Ten Power Metal Songs of All Time. It's fast as hell, it has incredible riffs and a great solo section, and the chorus is catchy as all hell. This is the way Power Metal should be played. Fast, furious and unapologetic--thank you, drive through. All the Clowns--did somebody order up a serving of Gamma Ray? It's complete worship here, and for once Sammet's excellent vocal work carries the song through--along with the incredible riffage, of course (see 0:20 for more information). The Pharaoh--y'know, it's that damn Egyptian riff again, and for once I just don't give a fuck, because Edguy managed to make a 10 1/2 minute-long epic that NEVER gets boring! Fallen Angels--it's almost as good as Golden Dawn; the riffs pick you up and they don't let you down while the chorus line is bitchslapping you around mercilessly.Savage Poetry was good, but this album is the only reason that Edguy is the phenomenon that it has become. Tobias Sammet can go fuck around with Avantasia or whatever the hell else he feels like doing, because he earned it with this baby. A motherfucking classic of Power Metal.
