With a steady evolution from their early days as a speed metal band to their current, renowned musical alchemy of glory, drama, and grandiosity, Germanyâ™s Blind Guardian have long since made their mark as the worldâ™s definitive melodic/progressive rock band. For many, they need no introduction, as the band possesses a track record and back catalogue of classic staples that perhaps only Iron Maiden can match. Called everything from heavy metal bards to modern-day minstrels, BLIND GUARDIAN possess the ability to transport their legions of fans to new landscapes with their majestic songwriting, fantastically themed lyrics, and their meticulous, emotion-packed music.
‘Beyond The Red Mirrorâ™ is the title of the highly-anticipated tenth studio album by Germanyâ™s favorite sons and metalâ™s most epic storytellers BLIND GUARDIAN. Prepare to have your senses overwhelmed. Four-and-a-half years in the making, the follow-up to 2010â™s ‘At The Edge Of Timeâ™ (which debuted at #2 on the German album charts and at #1 on the American Billboard Heatseekers chart & #108 on the American Billboard Top 200 Albums chart) is scheduled for release in the UK on February 2nd 2015 and February 3rd 2015 in North America.
Recorded at Twilight Hall Studio in Grefrath, Germany and produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (SAXON, HAMMERFALL, HELLOWEEN), ‘Beyond The Red Mirrorâ™ showcases BLIND GUARDIANâ™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 with absolutely spellbinding results.
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 Mirrorâ™s story lines revolve around the young protagonist we first met twenty years ago in the 1995 tracks ‘Bright Eyesâ™ and ‘And The Story Endsâ™.
“A story between science fiction and fantasy”, explains BLIND GUARDIAN vocalist & lyricist Hansi Kürsch. “The story begins with our 1995 album, ‘Imaginations From The Other Sideâ™. 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.”
Asked to describe the bandâ™s guiding principles for the creation of this new release, 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.”
Opening with a tidal wave of surging emotion courtesy of a spine-tingling choir ‘Beyond The Red Mirrorâ™ unleashes its first gem, ‘Ninth Waveâ™, a consciousness-expanding palette of landscapes and moods bearing the message of an urgent mission still seeking resolution. Closing with an explosion of heroic harmonies & choral glories with a nine-and-a-half minute, self-contained saga ‘Grand Paradeâ™ (called “the best song we have ever written” by Olbrich), the grandiose, uplifting, and ingenious storytelling in ‘Beyond The Red Mirrorâ™ is guaranteed to leave you breathless.
