Why they might be annoying:

    Most of their songs are based on fantasy stories such as the 'Lord of the Rings.'
    They were originally called 'Lucifers Heritage.'
    They are an acquired taste.
    The band members are called 'Bards' by their fans.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their music combines thrash metal, fantasy themes and Queen style choruses. The music is also extremely varied.
    They haven't had a permanent lineup change in almost twenty years.
    Hansi is good friends with Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth.
