Hansi Kürsch, lead singer of legendary German power metal band Blind Guardian, discusses the album artwork of A Night at the Opera, the relationship between Heavy Metal and Fantasy literature, art and games, and more.
After changing the sound and style a bit for their follow up to Nightfall in Middle Earth, they turned to painter Paul Raymond Gregory for a cover art work. It was a real pleasure to spend so much time with Hansi at the Blind Guardian studios in the German countryside, and our shared love of Tolkein, fantasy and heavy metal was a joy to discuss with him.

Thank you very much for the video and the interview, was really nice to hear an artist doing a little breakdown of an album artwork and how it became what it is! Also, props to Hansi for using a term "fantasy metal", have loved the idea of labeling some modern metal albums by themes or aesthetics, not the traditional way and glad that some of the artists share it
