"Blind Guardian" — немецкая метал-группа, образованная в 1984 году. "Blind Guardian" относительно уникальны в том смысле, что в период с 1987 по 2005 годы состав группы не менялся. Первый альбом группы — "Battalions Of Fear" (1988) состоял наполовину из песен с одноимённого демо и продемонстрировал ощутимое влияние ранних работ "Helloween" в стиле спид-метал. В 1998 году вышел концептуальный альбом "Nightfall In Middle-Earth", основанный на книге Джона Толкина «Сильмариллион». На этом альбоме "Blind Guardian" использовали «хоровой» бэк-вокал в духе "Queen", ряд элементов фолк-рока. Альбом считается одним из самых успешных за всю историю группы. К началу XXI века "Blind Guardian" постепенно поменяли и звучание, и менеджмент. Седьмой альбом группы вышел в 2002 году и был назван "A Night At The Opera", в честь одноимённого альбома "Queen". По словам Маркуса, «Queen больше всех повлияли на нас, так что это своего рода дань уважения». В этом альбоме "Blind Guardian" полностью отошли от своих спид-метал-корней в пользу пауэр-метала с элементами прогрессив-метал. По словам критиков, «музыка Blind Guardian — всё равно что совместная запись "Queen" с "Metallica"». Стиль группы претерпел влияние как классических рок-групп, таких как "Queen" и "Led Zeppelin", так и современных групп-металлистов, в особенности "Helloween", "Metallica" и "Iron Maiden". На ранних альбомах "Blind Guardian" исполняли музыку в стиле спид-метал: скоростную, тяжёлую, агрессивную. С дальнейшим развитием, "Blind Guardian" сделали своей визитной карточкой хоровой бэк-вокал и многоголосые вокальные гармонии, кроме того, группа испытала влияние фолк-музыки. Многие альбомы "Blind Guardian" содержат песни, выдержанные в стиле фолк-рока: акустические баллады в фолк-аранжировке. С самого первого альбома "Blind Guardian" демонстрировали интерес к фантастической литературе, а также мифологии и религии. Среди них, как романы писателей-фантастов и мистические истории, так и мифологические эпосы средневековья. Тема христианства нередко фигурирует в текстах "Blind Guardian", однако группа старательно избегает непопулярного в наше время ярлыка "христианского рока".
