Finally the fusion works in a fascinating way 16 Dec 2005

By S. Stark

Format:Audio CD

Although I am actually maybe the biggest Blind Guardian Fan on the whole planet, and also enjoyed both Iced Earth and the debut of Demons & Wizards, i didn't hurry getting this new output of the Kürsch / Schaffer combination. This was caused by the weird sounding sample of "The Gunslinger" which couldn't really convince me.

However, a few days / weeks ago, my girlfriend ordered something from Amazon and asked me whether i needed a CD. So I bought "Touched By The Crimson King" and a couple of days later I was totally blown away.
The disadvantages appeared on the debut were fixed and all what is left is pure enjoyable and innovative music containing the incredible vocals of Hansi Kürsch and a powerful and finally a fanciful Jon Schaffer doing interesting rhythms (beginning of Dorian - or the amazing opener "Crimson King"), emotional ballads (Down Where I Am - unbelievable) and heroic refrains. The "weakest" songs "Terror Train" and the cover of Led Zeppelins "Immigrants Song" are approximately on the same level as the best songs from "D&W". The other numbers are way up high in terms of riffing and filled with catchy melodies and vocals...

All in all "Touched By The Crimson King" is a jewel and one of the best straight Power-Metal albums published for a long long time. Absolutely recommendable!!!

Brilliant! 5 July 2005

By "gibbonofdoom"

Format:Audio CD

An excellent second album by the excellent Demons & Wizards!
With Jon from Iced Earth and Hansi from Blind Guardian, D&W make up a brilliant heavy metal band with a very dark style of music.
Every song on this album is awesome, and Led Zepplin's 'Immigrant Song' at the end is just amazing!
Definatly reccomended, especially for melodic metal fans!

Excellent, very enjoyable 6 July 2005

By Xzanron

Format:Audio CD

I bought this album as soon as I saw it listed. I'm a big fan of Blind Guardian and i really enjoyed the first Demons and Wizards album.

The tracks on this album are really good yet, and I fully enoyed listening to them. There is a nice mix of styles and tempos which is what I like so much about both Demons and Wizards and Blind Guardian.

demonic wizardry...slightly above with album 1

well, straight off let me say get the double disc edition, as the slow version of wicked witch is beautiful, and lunar lament should have made the full album, one hell of a track! Read more

I actually came across Demons & Wizards by chance. But isn't it so that most great things are discovered by accident?
