'''Edguy''' is a German [[power metal]] band formed in 1992 in [[Fulda]] by students [[Tobias Sammet]], [[Jens Ludwig]], Dominik Storch, and [[Dirk Sauer]]. Initially named after their math teacher, the band faced early rejections from record labels but persevered, releasing their unofficial debut album, ''[[Savage Poetry]]'', in 1995. They gained wider recognition with their subsequent albums, including ''[[Kingdom of Madness (Edguy album)|Kingdom of Madness]]'' (1997) and ''[[Vain Glory Opera]]'' (1998), featuring guest appearances from notable musicians. Over the years, Edguy has evolved their sound, with Sammet also launching the successful metal opera project [[Avantasia]]. The band has released multiple studio albums, including ''[[Age of the Joker]]'' (2011) and ''[[Space Police: Defenders of the Crown]]'' (2014), and has engaged in extensive touring. As of March 2020, Edguy is on hiatus while Sammet focuses on new [[Avantasia]] material.
