Starting off soft, the song leads up to some heavy riffs before ending off with an epic guitar solo.
It’s even longer cousins “Timeless Spirit” and “Children Of Cain” go in a bit more of a dreary, folksy power ballad direction a bit more in line with “Fiddler On The Green”, layering on the acoustic guitar magic as only Schaffer can deliver and even finds him dabbling with the mandolin a bit on the latter. Each Ayreon album is a drama set to music, made up of vocal parts accompanied by various instruments. Then again, one would be remiss not to note the fancier display of guitar showmanship, owing to the input of Iced Earth shredder Jake Dreyer and longtime associate of Schaffer and engineering extraordinaire Jim Morris.
Hansi‘s unmistakable voice depicts the personal singing style he has developed with BLIND GUARDIAN, but the big difference is that the production sounds much more organic than the last works of the German bards, which is especially noticeable in the exquisite sound of the drums. It's powerful, atmospheric and heavy. That’s just objectively wrong. The 7th track “Midas Disease.” It has a heavier, raw pace.

The break towards the end of the track, returning to its initial mood, brings the circle together and allows us to take a breath before continuing the journey. What started as an underground doom metal band with tremendous potential, is now set to release one of the most...

Like every song lacked that energy that makes Demons and Wizards what they are. We'll be eternally grateful! It almost feels like you’re listening to a different album.

4. “Midas Disease” is another mid-tempo song with repetitive structure, and despite having a nice hard rock vibe and a rather catchy melody, at this point we begin to perceive the lack of contrasts and elements that stand out from the average to meet the high expectations of the fans. Drawing upon the more primordial thrash and speed metal elements of Blind Guardian and Iced Earth, all the while still exhibiting a melodic grandeur and propensity for atmospheric sorrow, this fold of twin titans would unleash a respectable pair of studio albums spanning the late 90s up until 2005 that bridged the gap between the similar yet highly distinct bands.

The song starts off with a slow eerie build-up, before breaking into a powerful and catchy riff. This song in particular showcases the vocal range of Kürsch, paired with some truly brilliant and speedy guitar riffs and solos from Schaffer.

What really pushed the band [...], It’s easy to find great quality metal in Greece, especially in the black metal realm.
After waiting for long fifteen years, we finally have a new DEMONS & WIZARDS album, the international super band that, as we all know, brought together the masterminds of BLIND GUARDIAN and ICED EARTH in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The mysterious guitar intro and ethereal background sounds build up a tension that grows slowly until the first distorted Schaffer riff creates a sonic explosion and the song takes a very heavy and dark twist by DEMONS & WIZARDS standards.
Demons and Wizards have captured the musical style of both bands taking you on a journey filled with heavy power metal, epic riffs, and soul-crushing lyrics.

No wonder Jon Schaffer is recognized as one of the best and most influential rhythm guitarists on the scene.
Check out our interview with Hansi Kürsch here.
Some are a flash in the pan, others can take on a life of their own, becoming beloved continuations of artistic evolution.
And, finally, the album finishes off with “Children of Cain” This song is remarkably beautiful. By Jana DB
Nevertheless, every moving part within this cohesive whole sounds like it has been given a much needed adrenaline shot, with Hansi in particular providing a youthful vocal assault that’s about on par with what he brought to “Nightfall On Middle Earth”.
