NUCLEAR BLAST NEWS: TRAILER OF BEYOND THE RED MIRROR OF BLIND GUARDIAN
“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!”
Metal’s most epic storytellers BLIND GUARDIAN have just released the first 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.
METAL 界で最もエピカルなバンド、BLIND GUARDIAN。遂に1/30に発売となる新作 BEYOND THE RED MIRROR からファーストトレイラーを公開です!!
“It is impossible for us to choose a song that represents the whole album. The upcoming single needs to be seen as an appetizer- ‘Twilight Of The Gods’ is perfect, because it reveals incredible dynamic and contains great melody lines”, shares BLIND GUARDIAN vocalist & lyricist Hansi Kürsch.
「アルバム全体を表現するような一曲を選ぶのは難しかったよ。前菜のような役割が求められるからね。”TWILIGH OF THE GODS” は完璧だったよ。信じられないくらいダイナミックで素晴らしいメロディーラインを有しているからね。」
HANSI KURSCH

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.
前作から四年半の時間を経てリリースされる新作 BEYOND THE RED MIRROR は SAXON, HAMMERFALL, HELLOWEEN を手掛けた CHARLIE BAUERFEIND のプロデュースで録音されました。プラハ、ブタペスト、ボストンのコーラス隊と二つのオーケストラと共演し総勢90人のミュージシャンが参加しています。
