Friday, May 26: Blind Guardian, “The Script for My Requiem”
Imaginations from the Other Side was the game changer, the record that established an entirely new lane not only for Blind Guardian, but for power metal as a genre. The band had begun expanding their breadth on Somewhere Far Beyond, but their fifth album added a very specific type of grandiosity to their sound and delivered a new kind of bombast. “The Script for My Requiem” was of a piece with the rest of the album, incorporating all of the band’s different attributes in a single track: Thomas Stauch’s drumming was rooted in thrash, as were Andre Olbrich’s riffs, but the guitarist’s composition and arrangement nodded towards mid ‘70s Priest and Dio-era Rainbow, and Hansi Kürsch most definitely enjoyed him some Freddie Mercury. All of this was brought into clear form by Flemming Rasmussen’s intelligent production (nearly 30 years later, Imaginations remains arguably the best sounding record they ever made). The only things missing were the Tolkien and Moorcock references, as “The Script for My Requiem” was one of the few Blind Guardian tunes that wasn’t about specifically about orcs or wizards, though the sheer surge of the chorus pointed towards the storming of Mordor. But Blind Guardian truly found themselves here, and in so doing elevated the entire genre in ways that are still being felt all these years later.
