Re: Third Demons & Wizards album is Schaffer's next target
I've learned to know better than holding my breath for anything Blind Guardian related
I just wait to be getting hyped when a release date is given.

Re: EVERTALE - "Of Dragons and Elves" Releasedate 21.12.2013
New album is out. It takes a while to grasp it, but it is really great German melodic epic speed metal in the vein of early Blind Guardian. A bit different from the first album, but a worthwhile listen.

But NB still puts stuff from under 80 minutes on two CDs for the sake of having two CDs for an earbook ...
