Edguy - "Kingdom of Madness" (1997)

Now here's a definite power metal band to look forward to; It's Edguy and it's their first album "Kingdom of Madness"! If you love power metal and/or true metal hailing from Germany, this one sure is a keeper.


Now this album starts with a pretty sweet intro, I'll tell you. It reminds me of . . . a Spanish guitar and it's enjoyable and relaxing. After this, it goes into your typical power metal point which makes you feel like headbanging. In fact, the whole album is like this and I don't believe there's any songs that are easily to be skipped, but maybe you'd want to get through the 18 minute song as fast as you can because it's too damned long!! Overall, it's a well done power metal staple--yet surprisingly it came out in the late '90s! Shock!

Tobias Sammet

Final thoughts on Edguy's "Kingdom of Madness": It's an energetic, fun power metal album that any metal enthusiast would enjoy. It doesn't degrade at any time. 8/10.
