What Savage Circus is to early Blind Guardian, Saidan is to early Edguy.

Check out the samples for "Ride on a Phoenix" & "Fallen Hero" to see what I mean. You will also note the guest vocalist on the "Crown of Creation" sample that we all know well.

Wow, I thought this would happen someday but it's sort of sooner than I expected. This is straight up Edguy worship! Ride on a Phoenix has a nearly identical chorus to Tears of a Mandrake.

This band takes the world "Influence" to an extreme.

They been around quite a while.

The play the style that I should eat right up but none of the releases ever grabbed me a whole hell of alot.

Production was so so.

I got a HI REZ jpeg of the 1st cover though, and its a beauty!

Funny thing is they are playing with DESTINATIONS CALLING who a couple months back had CD of the month on my radio show.

Well Edguy has been around awhile now they arent the young Hanson lookalikes that blew us away in 98. But man, this is just a bit too much in terms of Vain Glory Opera wannabeism.

Ride on a Phoenix is the bonus track on Vain Glory Opera.

Not bad at all, but nothing we haven't already heard before.
