As for Blind Guardian, the vocals of Hansi Kursch are gruffer than a lot of power metal vocalists, but the subject matter of their songs are a world away from death metal, despite the fact that some of their stuff is quite dark.
Noted. Will send for review and report back. Best album/best to start with?

I was referring to the video here and not their music.

Best three are Tales from the Twilight World, Imaginations from the Other Side and Nightfall in Middle-Earth. The second album here is often regarded on some lists as the best power metal album ever recorded, but the third is their most epic. Personally I don't think you'll like them despite their fame and reputation in the power metal world, as Hansi Kursch is not your type of vocalist, but you'll appreciate the complexity of their sound.

If Hansi Kursch's vocals are too much for him then he might as well go listen to N'SYNC.

Already have done, for my journal. God after that I needed the loudest metal I could get just to drive those bloody digital piano tunes and close-harmony singing out of my head! Urgh!
