Edguy is a power metal band from Fulda, Germany formed in 1992 and is currently signed to Nuclear Blast. The current lineup features Tobias Sammet on vocals (and occasionally keyboard), Jens Ludwig and Dirk Sauer on guitar, Tobias Exxel on bass, and Felix Bohnke on drums. They released their first album, Savage Poetry, in 1995 (re-recorded in 2000), and followed up with Kingdom of Madness in 1997, both when all members were still in their teens.
With Vain Glory Opera (1998) the band started to gain some worldwide attention, and even more the next year upon the release of another classic; Theater of Salvation, which was considered an even bigger breakthrough.
The success continued with Mandrake (2001). With their subsequent albums, Hellfire Club (2004) and Rocket Ride (2006), Edguy have developed their sound in a more heavy metal and hard rock direction. This has caused some resistance from old power metal fans, but has also brought new fans from different fields of music.
Edguy recently completed a tour with fellow european heavy hitter power metal band DragonForce and the swedish band Sabaton.

In my personal opinion 90% of Power Metal is absolutely horrid and completely un-metal. However, the 10% of it that doesn't suck is some of the greatest Heavy Metal in existence; and I believe that Edguy are part of that club. LONG LIVE GOOD POWER METAL! Edguy, Cellador, Primal Fear, Iced Earth, Control Denied For the mother fucking win indeed!

"Wesz_W wrote: Just bought their live dvd. Really awesome! " Hell yeah! :D At first I was little preconceived that Sammet's voice wouldn't be that great at live as it is at studio. But wow, it worked very well. Still I think live dvd's main event Land Of The Miracle. It's very good on album but the live version really made me shiver the whole time. Especially the end of the song while audience sings the chorus and Sammet sings the other part. Wow! Everyone should check the dvd if one likes Edguy even a little :)
