Blind Guardian is a German band that has been cranking out power metal for many years now, but we're going to focus on their 1998 album "Nightfall in Middle Earth."

It is a concept album based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion", and tells the story of the Noldor elves in the First Age and their sorrowful war against Morgoth to regain the stolen Silmarils.
