Logar's Diary is a six-pie… Read Full Bio ↴Fantasy Power Metal from Berlin / Germany
Logar's Diary is a six-piece. All the band's music is dealing with the adventures of the magician Logar in the Earthdawn universe (Earthdawn is a famous role-playing-game). Logar wrote down his quests and found some bards who wrote the music for his lyrics.
So Logar´s Diary is a 100% concept band and every single album is a story on its own.
The idea of the band was born in spring 1998. After the musicians had finished the songwriting in 1999 they recorded the first chapter of the story, until winter 2000 at Goblins & Gnomes studio. "Book I" was released as a demo-CD in April 2001, completely financed by the band itself. The reactions were pretty good and Logar had the opportunity to choose between several record-deal offerings. Finally, they signed at Metal Fortress Entertainment (MFE) where the second CD was released.
The recording of the CD- "Book 2: Parlainth - The Forgotten City" - was finished in 2004, but due to business problems and the replacement of the drummer the CD release was delayed several times.
At the end of 2006 the first pressing of "Book II" (digipack) was sold out, but you can take part at the whole story again, cause "Book II" is available again as jewelcase. You can order it directly at Logar's Diary: www.logar.org
The journey continues... The band is starting to work on the concept of "Book III" these weeks.

Logar's Diary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
them we discovered that the magician behind the evil plan was a man from Thera called
Iostros. He was one of the most popular traders in Barterstown, leading a life disguised as a
trader but conspiring against humanity. Time was urging and we headed to Iostros..."
There's someone who's despising mankind
There's someone here preaching the dark
But no one cares - they're all so blind
Magic surrounds us
Now that your time has come
Justice is done
We're sent by the light
To turn the black back to white
Don't hail the wrong
Together we're strong
Soon you'll burn
And then the tides will turn
Revenge for all the lives you took
Now faith is coming over you
All your crimes realized by one look
You're guilty - justice will come true
Magic surrounds us
Now that your time has come
Justice is done
We're sent by the light
To turn the black back to white
Don't hail the wrong
Together we're strong
Soon you'll burn
And then the tides will turn
When the dance begins
Magic flows through thee
We feel our bones breaking
But our strength sets us free
Feel the power - taste the steel
Our agony is what you feel
You turn away in hate
Cowardly fleeing through the gate
Now that your time has come
Justice is done
We're sent by the light
To turn the black back to white
Don't hail the wrong
Together we're strong
Soon you'll burn
And then the tides will turn
