Fulda, Germany (1992 – present)

Edguy is a 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 and direction. This has caused some resistance from old fans, but has also brought new fans from different fields of music.

Edguy recently completed a tour with fellow heavy hitter band DragonForce and the band Sabaton.

    v 1. They're not new, 2. they sound nothing like Edguy, 3. each of their albums sounds the same.

    >They're afraid of Putin. Oh nononono, i've been on their concerts 2 times in Moscow and on Avantasia's, so that's not true xD And actually i said that last album is fine, that was not true too, it's fucking epic, i really glad that Tobi put more avantasia-like tunes there. Gates to midnight world is my favourite.

    I have to say that the band was really in their prime form around that [Mandrake] time. [2] Their new album had almost zero impact on me, which is quite sad as I listened them for a long time...

    played the entire Mandrake record today on the way to and from work, I have to say that the band was really in their prime form around that time.
