I literally couldn't control my laughter for about three seconds. It's rare for it to be involuntary to that extent.
No seriously, calling Blind Guardian "Viking metal" is hilarious, and also, calling them too dark is ALSO hilarious, as most of Blind Guardian's songs fall in gray areas, and many of them are upbeat.
Straight Through The Mirror, Turn The Page, Fly (you won't find the right one on filesharing networks), The Maiden and The Minstrel Knight, The New Order, Otherland, The Soulforged, Battlefield, Mirror Mirror, The Curse of Feanor, Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill), Imaginations From The Other Side, I'm Alive, A Past and Future Secret, Theatre of Pain, The Bard's Song (In The Forest), Somewhere Far Beyond, Traveler In Time, Lost In The Twilight Hall, The Last Candle. Go Listen to those.
Also, The Odyssey by Symphony X.
