EDGUY is a German Power Metal outfit hailing from the small principal of Fulda in Hessen that has elevated itself into the major league in Europe through a succession of strong albums blessed with inventive riffing, some supreme Euro-melodies and, on occasion, frontman Tobias Sammet's unique brand of oddball humour. The group, taking their name after a school tutor named Edgar, had been forged during 1992 by young teens pursuing their love of Heavy Metal. Although at first operating as a covers act by 1994 the fledgling band had enough original material for a brace of demnos 'Evil Minded' and 'Children Of Steel'. However, with no real label interest forthcoming EDGUY self-financed their opening album 'Savage Poetry' in 1995. The AFM label would then pick the band up to craft a quickfire follow up, 'Kingdom Of Madness', and promptly re-issued 'Savage Poetry'.
