After Lucifer's Heritage signed a contract with No Remorse Records , the band changed their name to Blind Guardian to avoid any speculations about Satanism (in a bio it was stated that they also wanted to distance themselves from the black metal movement, as their demos were placed in with black metal albums at local record shops). Setelah Lucifer's Heritage menandatangani kontrak dengan No Records Penyesalan , band ini berganti nama menjadi Blind Guardian untuk menghindari spekulasi tentang Satanisme (di bio itu menyatakan bahwa mereka juga ingin menjauhkan diri dari black metal gerakan, karena demo mereka ditempatkan dengan album black metal di toko musik lokal).

Blind Guardian with the band's definitive scenery in background Blind Guardian dengan pemandangan yang definitif band di latar belakang
Blind Guardian's first two albums, Battalions of Fear and Follow the Blind , were more in the style of speed metal than their following works. Blind Guardian pertama dua album, Batalyon dari Ketakutan dan Ikuti Blind , lebih dalam gaya speed metal dari karya-karya berikut mereka. Beginning with their third album Tales from the Twilight World , Blind Guardian gradually began to write more complicated compositions focusing less on speed. Dimulai dengan ketiga album Tales dari World Twilight , Blind Guardian secara bertahap mulai menulis komposisi lebih rumit kurang fokus pada kecepatan. As of their sixth album, Nightfall in Middle Earth , Hansi stopped playing bass to focus on singing. Pada album keenam mereka, Nightfall di Middle Earth , Hansi berhenti bermain bass untuk fokus pada menyanyi. At this point the band began to incorporate large amounts of orchestral arrangements, and utilized the technique of overdubbing , heavily influenced by the English rock band Queen . [ 12 ] Pada titik ini band mulai memasukkan sejumlah besar orkestra pengaturan, dan memanfaatkan teknik overdubbing , banyak dipengaruhi oleh band rock Inggris Queen . [12]
Blind Guardian's music features the staccato guitars and double bass drumming characteristic of power metal, as well as the use of overdubs and numerous backing vocals to create a dense sound. Musik Blind Guardian fitur staccato gitar dan double bass drum karakteristik power metal, serta penggunaan overdub dan backing vokal banyak untuk membuat suara padat. This technique, especially notable in the guitar and vocal tracks, creates the impression of a vast army of musicians playing in unison and singing in harmony. Teknik ini, terutama penting di trek gitar dan vokal, menciptakan kesan sebuah pasukan besar musisi bermain di serempak dan bernyanyi dalam harmoni. This proved significant on all albums after the first two but most particularly on A Night at the Opera . Hal ini terbukti signifikan pada semua album setelah dua pertama, tetapi yang paling terutama pada A Night at the Opera .
Another definitive feature of Blind Guardian music is frequent use of folk tunes and instruments, especially in power ballads such as "Lord of the Rings", "The Bard's Song", "A Past and Future Secret", "Skalds and Shadows" and "Curse My Name", among others. Fitur lain yang pasti musik Guardian Blind adalah sering menggunakan lagu-lagu rakyat dan instrumen, khususnya dalam balada listrik seperti "Lord of the Rings", "Bard's Song", "A lalu dan Masa Depan Secret", "Skalds dan Shadows" dan " Kutukan Nama "saya, antara lain.
