Promising to be one of the most ambitious projects in metal history, BLIND GUARDIAN<\/strong>‘s upcoming release will be well worth the wait. The idea of recording an orchestral album originally formed in the minds of the two leading lights of the BLIND GUARDIAN<\/strong> universe – guitarist Andr\u00e9 Olbrich<\/strong> and singer Hansi K\u00fcrsch<\/strong> – during the 1990’s when BLIND GUARDIAN<\/strong> started to use orchestral elements to enhance their opulent sound. The monumental project started to take shape over recent years, and mirroring its epic sound cascades, the lyrical concept was developed. To create the concept, Andr\u00e9<\/strong> and Hansi<\/strong> worked alongside German bestselling author Markus Heitz<\/strong>, whose latest novel \u00bbDie dunklen Lande\u00ab<\/strong> was released on March 1st, 2019. The book is set in 1629 and contains the prequel to BLIND GUARDIAN TWILIGHT ORCHESTRA<\/strong>‘s opus \u00bbLegacy Of The Dark Lands,\u00ab<\/strong> which will be out on November 8th, 2019.

\nToday, the band unveil the third album trailer, unveiling more details about the recording process.
\nWatch the clip here: https:\/\/youtu.be\/FNtYn_wWsYc<\/a>

Hansi<\/strong> states, “Witness this five minutes plus composition of vocal recording mayhem. These takes were filmed during the last weeks and months of the production of “Legacy of the Dark Lands\u201c. After more or less 20 years of composing, arranging and pre-producing, we finally started singing somewhere in the end of 2017. I knew, it would take some time, but it was a \u201elittle\u201c  more time than expected when I finished the recordings in December 2018. Enjoy some almost brillant and some not so brillant performances of this seemingly never-ending adventure.  What can I say? Now, looking back after all the toil, I can confirm it was a lot of fun. Of course<\/em>.“<\/em>

\nRecently, the band unleashed their 7″ vinyl single titled \u00bbThis Storm\u00ab<\/strong>, which can be ordered in various colours (clear, gold, red\/black splattered) here: https:\/\/nblast.de\/BG-ThisStorm<\/a>

“It’s incredible, that after 20 years we can actually finish this really exciting project. I am so happy and more than satisfied with it. Every single track unveils spectacular worlds and tells its very own story. With this album our biggest creative dream finally becomes reality,”<\/em> says frontman\/singer Hansi K\u00fcrsch<\/strong> whose favourite author was equally excited about the collaboration: “It’s really crazy: As pen & paper role-players we used to listen to BLIND GUARDIAN whilst playing. And years later I get to work together with the band, which was incredible. It’s amazing, the things that can happen sometimes,”<\/em>Markus<\/strong>Heitz<\/strong> remembers. “Of course, I immediately agreed to join! This creative collaboration is very special for me.”<\/em>

\nThe two protagonists have actively cultivated their creative exchange over the last five years. “Markus is a great story teller; with \u00bbDie dunklen Lande\u00ab he created the perfect setting and with the mysterious Nicolas, the perfect character for our complex works. His inventiveness seems to be almost infinite. Absolutely impressive and very inspiring,\u201d<\/em> praises Hansi K\u00fcrsch<\/strong> regarding the fruitful cooperation with the highly renowned fantasy author.

\nBoth sides tell in their own way the story of the mercenary Nicolas and his involvement in the Thirty Years’ War. Author Markus Heitz<\/strong> starts the story off in his book and BLIND GUARDIAN<\/strong> follow suit with \u00bbLegacy Of The Dark Lands.\u00ab<\/strong>What is the secret surrounding Nicolas? Will he be able to cast off the chains of war and how will his loved ones fare? On \u00bbLegacy Of The Dark Lands\u00ab<\/strong>via BLIND GUARDIAN<\/strong>TWILIGHT ORCHESTRA<\/strong>, Andr\u00e9 Olbrich<\/strong> and Hansi K\u00fcrsch<\/strong> fulfill their long-time wish of emphasizing imposing choral singing and classical orchestral arrangements. It promises to be an opus unlike any other that the German quartet has ever released, or rather: an opus, as has never been heard ever before.
