DEMONS & WIZARDS - Two Originals [Box-Set] *2010* [FLAC] [image+cue]

Ripped from 2-CD's Box-Set released in 2010 by "Scarecrow" (Mexico) on license of 2008 "STEAMHAMMER" (Germany) release [SPV 67520 2CD], which include remastered versions of 2 studio-albums of Demons & Wizards - the side-project of Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) and Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth). The idea for the side-project arose in the spring of 1997, when Kürsch and Schaffer wanted to make music together, after being friends for several years. The original goal of the band was to forge the different musical styles of both Iced Earth's dark melodies and Blind Guardian's powerful vocals into one sound. In fact, according to the musicians, the band name is meant to describe the two styles: the self-proclaimed demon-like themes and sounds of Iced Earth and wizard-like themes and sounds of Blind Guardian.
Upload additionally include songs lyrics and original albums and project details (as a text files).
