Today in 1998 Edguy released the album Vain Glory Opera Fulda, Hesse, Germany Power Metal Status:Active Years active: 1992-present Edguy is a power metal band from Fulda, Germany formed in 1992 and is currently signed to Nuclear Blast. The current lineup features Tobias Sammet on vocals (and occasionally keyboard), Jens Ludwig and Dirk Sauer on guitar, Tobias Exxel on bass, and Felix Bohnke on drums. They released their first album, Savage Poetry, in 1995 (re-recorded in 2000), and followed up with Kingdom of Madness in 1997, both when all members were still in their teens. With Vain Glory Opera (1998) the band started to gain some worldwide attention, and even more the next year upon the release of another classic; Theater of Salvation, which was considered an even bigger breakthrough. The success continued with Mandrake (2001). With their subsequent albums, Hellfire Club (2004) and Rocket Ride (2006), Edguy have developed their sound in a more heavy metal and hard rock direction. This has caused some resistance from old power metal fans, but has also brought new fans from different fields of music. Edguy recently completed a tour with fellow european heavy hitter power metal band DragonForce and the swedish band Sabaton AFM Records Tobias Sammet – vocals, bass, keyboards Jens Ludwig – guitars Dirk Sauer – guitars Additional musicians Frank Lindenthal – drums Ralf Zdiarstek, Norman Meiritz, Andy Allendörfer(R.I.P. 2005) – backing vocals Hansi Kürsch – additional vocals on tracks 5 and 6 Timo Tolkki – guitar solo on track 5 1.

Vain Glory Opera is the third studio album by the German power metal band Edguy, released in 1998. It was mixed by Stratovarius Timo Tolkki, who also played additional lead guitar on Out Of Control, and featured additional lead and backing vocals by Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian on Out of Control and the title track Vain Glory Opera. Further choir vocals were supplied by Ralf Zdiarstek and Norman Meiritz. At the time of recording the album, Edguy had not yet chosen a permanent drummer to succeed Dominik Storch. So session musician Frank Lindenthal, a good friend of the band, was asked to play drums on the album. Hymn is a cover version of the song from the album Quartet (1982) by the British New Wave band Ultravox. youtube/watch?v=ciR5KP1_uCQ
