Follow the Blind

by Blind Guardian

Follow the Blind cover art

Displaying a noticeably thrashier and more aggressive approach than their subsequent work, 'Follow the Blind' captures the German outfit in a raw, transitional phase. The record features a notable guest appearance by Kai Hansen of Helloween, cementing ties within the burgeoning European power metal scene. While still heavily rooted in relentless speed, the band begins introducing the fantasy-driven lyricism that would define their legacy.
