Demons and Wizards is a power metal band conceived as a side-project by vocalist for Blind Guardian, Hansi Kürsch, and the guitarist for Iced Earth, Jon Schaffer.  Schaffer writes the music and Kürsch writes the lyrics.  The band's line-up during the recording of their first album in 1999 also featured Mark Prator, who was the drummer on a few Iced Earth albums, and Jim Morris doing most of the guitar solos, Morris also having worked with Iced Earth in the past. Into the Light is a compilation album from Nuclear Blast Records to commemorate their 20 years as a record label.

It features a variable collection of "All Stars" much in the same vein as Roadrunner United.  The whole album was written by Victor Smolski (however, two songs, "In the Picture" and "Slaves to the Desert" – originally "Slaves of the Desert" – are remakes of songs he had already recorded with Mind Odyssey), who also recorded all the guitars, some bass and keyboards.  The drums were done by Volker Schultz and André Hilgers. Excalibur is the ninth studio album by Grave Digger and is the final album of the "Middle Ages Trilogy".

Nightfall in Middle-Earth is the sixth full-length studio album by German power metal band Blind Guardian.  It was released on April 28, 1998 through Virgin Records.  It is a concept album based upon J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion", a book of tales from the First Age of Middle-earth, recounting the War of the Jewels.  The album contains not only songs but also spoken parts narrating parts of the story.  The cover represents Lúthien dancing in front of Morgoth.  It is widely regarded as one of Blind Guardian's most well-known and well-received albums in their discography.  It is also the first album with Oliver Holzwarth as guest musician, playing bass guitar instead of Hansi Kürsch.  "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" was the first album by Blind Guardian to be released in the US.  The sales encouraged Century Media to release their entire back catalog in the US in 2007, at which point it was remastered and re-released, with an added bonus track.
