I was studying really hard for my exams the other day (watching everything, anything and the other thing on youtube) and I came across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGBZuf3mvy0&feature=fvst

 

In my opinion its not the greatest song ever but I thought that some people in these parts might want to have a bit of a listen, enjoy.

Further investigating this band yielded another WoT inspired song from the same album called "Ride into obsession" (below), as well as an asoiaf inspired song called "War of the Thrones". Blind Guardian have also done a Silmarillion inspired concept album called "Nightfall in Middle-Earth", as well as songs from other albums inspired by novels by other fantasy authors. Interesting stuff from a West German power metal band. Take a look if you're interested.

Whoa. That's amazing.

 

I always said power metal/symphonic metal/melodeath/prog metal/etc. bands were filled with the nerdiest of all people. And look- A WoT inspired song! :D

This is old news!

 

As a fan of Blind Guardian, I had been following this, since Blind Guardian were tweeting updates regularly. And I was updating DM and the Band of the Red Hand as well - check here and here!

 

If you check out my gig review here, you'll also get my views of the song live.

Personally, I like this much better:

Love this band, saw 'em live a couple of months ago. They didn't play this song, though :(

 

Anyways, I didn't really like the song when I first heard it (after having waited for ages for the album to come out...), but it grew on me

Are there any other Wheel of Time inspired songs? I'd be very interested to hear them out.

I wonder if this song by Neverland is after Wheel of Time? Just listening to some other Neverland songs after listening to that song posted by Talmanes earlier in this thread.
