Blind Guardian - New Album Details Revealed
Recently, German power metallers Blind Guardian have informed us that they were preparing a new album scheduled for an early 2015 release. The wait is over today folks! The band has revealed the title of their upcoming album: Beyond The Red Mirror which is scheduled for a January 30th, 2015 in Europe and February 3rd, 2015 release in North America. In addition to that, the band also revealed the cover artwork of their upcoming album, as well as the tracklist, both of them available below. Stop what you are doing and check it out now.
The album will be available in the following formats:
Jewelcase (10 songs)
Limited Edition Digi-Pack (11 songs)
Double LP gatefold vinyl
Earbook (12 songs plus illustrations, photos, and liner notes)
NB-Mailorder-Earbook (12 songs plus illustrations, photos, liner notes + bonus 10'')
Recorded at Twilight Hall Studio in Grefrath, Germany and produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (Saxon, HammerFall, Helloween), Beyond The Red Mirror showcases Blind Guardian's long-awaited collaborative work with three different classical choirs: one from the Czech Republic (Prague), one from Hungary (Budapest), and one from the United States (Boston). Two grand orchestras - each featuring 90 musicians - also lend their brilliant talents to the new recordings.
Transporting listeners via a mysteriously powerful red mirror into an otherworldly dimension that includes tyrants, gods, and the Holy Grail, the ten songs comprising Beyond The Red Mirror's story lines revolve around the young protagonist we first met twenty years ago in the 1995 tracks "Bright Eyes" and "And The Story Ends"."
"A story between science fiction and fantasy," explains Blind Guardian vocalist and lyricist Hansi Kürsch. "The story begins with our 1995 album, Imaginations From The Other Side. The two worlds described therein have changed dramatically for the worse since then. While there used to be several passages between the worlds, there is only one gate left now: The Red Mirror. It has to be found at any cost."
Blind Guardian guitarist André Olbrich shares: "We want to surprise and impress with our music. Nowadays, music tends to be arbitrary and predictable. But we want to keep developing our music."
Tracklist:
01. The Ninth Wave
02. Twilight Of The Gods
03. Prophecies
04. At The Edge Of Time
05. Ashes Of Eternity
06. Distant Memories (bonus track on limited edition digi-pack version)
07. The Holy Grail
08. The Throne
09. Sacred Mind
10. Miracle Machine
11. Grand Parade
12. Doom (bonus track on Earbook version)
