Neo-classical metal/ Power metal band Edguy were formed in Fulda, Germany in 1992 by then-students. Tobias Sammet, Jens Ludwig, Dominik Storch, and Dirk Sauer. Although they were only 14 at the time, the young band members worked on original material, and by 1994 they had released two demos. These early recordings were sent out to various record companies to no avail. Steadfast in their convictions, they self-released their "unofficial" debut album, Savage Poetry, in 1995.

Savage Poetry, released in 1995, is the self-released debut album by the German power metal band Edguy while just 18 years old in their final year of high school, often considered a demo. It was re-recorded with a different track listing and cover in 2000 under the name 'The Savage Poetry'

It wasn't long before a record company showed interest, and they signed with AFM. The label was keen to distribute their debut, but Edguy chose to forge ahead with their follow-up instead. The resulting record, Kingdom of Madness, was released in 1997.

1998's Vain Glory Opera, the album that upped their profile thanks to some notable guest spots from Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) and Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius).
