Metal’s highly-esteemed storytellers BLIND GUARDIAN have just released the second new album trailer for their highly-anticipated tenth studio release, »Beyond The Red Mirror«, due out in Europe on January 30th, 2015, February 2nd in the UK and February 3rd, 2015 in North America.
“We do have a really great pre-production, very precise and rich in details,” shares BLIND GUARDIAN drummer Frederik Ehmke. “We completely separate the creative part from the purely performance part of recording. This means that my head is clear and I can focus 100% on the performance.”
Guitarist Marcus Siepen adds: “We like to keep our options open to the very end. We do not record just two rhythm guitar tracks; we add several tracks, also with different tunings… we enrich the sound with down-tuned guitars. A wall of sound!” Check out Album Trailer #2 – which highlights drums & guitar parts - on the Nuclear Blast YouTube channel: Watch trailer #1 on the Nuclear Blast YouTube channel: If you missed the lyric video to the new album track 'Twilight Of The Gods', check it out: Now available: BLIND GUARDIAN’s 'Twilight Of The Gods' mini-CD single including two live tracks recorded at 2011’s Wacken Open Air festival in Germany.

Twilight Of The Gods 02. Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) - Live at Wacken 2011 03. The Bard's Song (In The Forest) - Live at Wacken 2011 Four-and-a-half years in the making, »Beyond The Red Mirror« was recorded at Twilight Hall Studio in Grefrath, Germany and produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (SAXON, HAMMERFALL, HELLOWEEN). The album’s spellbinding tracks showcase BLIND GUARDIAN’s long-awaited collaborative work with three different classical choirs from Prague, Budapest, and Boston, plus two grand orchestras - each featuring 90 musicians. An endeavour demanding that attention be paid to the lyrics as much as to the music, »Beyond The Red Mirror« is a desperate search for truth, an exploration of the relativities of good and evil, a testimony of the consequences of lost opportunities, a glimpse into a distant universe’s dystopian society, and a story about a prophecy, a promise of revolution, a plot for revenge, and a miracle machine with powers far beyond what mere mortals could have dreamed possible.
