ISTANBUL
Germany's power metal icon Blind Guardian is set to bring its epic sound and fantasy-inspired lyrics back to Türkiye as part of their The God Machine European tour.
The band is expected to meet fans in Ankara on Sept. 26 at the Milyon Performance Hall and in Istanbul on Sept. 27 at Zorlu PSM.
Blind Guardian, formed in Krefeld, Germany in 1984 by Hansi Kursch and Andre Olbrich, has become a major influence in the power metal genre.
The band is known for blending sweeping orchestral elements, strong melodies and dramatic storytelling.
The group, known for the Bard's Song, Skalds and Shadows, often draws from fantasy literature -- authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, Stephen King and Robert Jordan are among their inspirations for lyrics.
Their latest album, “The God Machine,” promises to deliver a performance rich in theatricality and musical intensity.
