certo che anche SFB è un album stupendo.

news....

Hansi was interviewed by a Spanish magazine and told some details about the upcoming album. Here they go:

- There are already ten tracks composed. They are aiming to have 3 to 4 more.

- All basic Blind Guardian elements will be found in the album (choirs, melody, fast guitars, solos, Queen-like elements), everything people can expect from them. But at the same time there will be new explored grounds that will surprise people.

- It will be co-produced with Charlie Bauerfeind.

- Recording will begin in the beginning of July.

- In mid June they will decide upon who will be recording drums on next album. The drummer that records the album can actually be not exactly the one that will end up being the definitive drummer (maybe they will simply hire somone while they continue their research). The final decision will be probably made once the album is done. (more about the drummer below.

- The album won´t be as complex as ANATO.

- Mixing by mid Octuber aprox.

- Recordings should end by november/december.

- Oliver will play the bass once again.

- Some songs will be Queen-like, some will be modern-like. Some will be BG-like, some Savatage-like. They will be quite different from each other.

- There´re no lyrics at the moment.

- Another Stranger Me (working title) ANATO-like

- Market Square (working title). More old-BG-like, but more futuristic (I guess he reffers to the ambient), speed metal-like.

-Carry The Blessed Home (working title). Somewhat a mix between BG´s The Hobbit, Queen and Ozzy Osbourne ( )

- The drummer with most chances to get the job is already friend to BG.

- There´re five possible choice at the moment, with equal musicianship quality.

- The drummer they want must have something new to offer, and at the same time give everything Thomen could give. That is, a perfect mix between power and technique. He states how dificult is this to fins, and why Thomen is so special.

- The drummer they have in mind is in other bands, so if finally he is the chosen, he might end up recording just this next album and not joining the band.

- They changed label because Virging was slowling turning backs to them.

More or less, this is a good resume of the most important things. Also I want to say that there´s a talk about Thomen´s departure. Since it follows the line we have seen all this time, I think there´s not a need to point this out again. They are glad they went separate ways, both BG and Thomen as well.

si ma il nuovo album?è un anno che lo promettono....

[Serghuio]

dopo la dipartita di thomen hanno dovuto stoppare tutto

dopo la dipartita di thomen hanno dovuto stoppare tutto

Secondo me hanno stoppato tutto anche prima... poi hanno preso tempo con il fatto della partenza del batterista!! In fondo li capirei: dopo anni senza novità la paura di ripetersi e di far fiasco è tanta, specialmente per un gruppo di successo come il loro!

[juvenil]

seee e si fermano per quello...

[Kordian]

seee e si fermano per quello...

E perchè no?? L'ipotesi che non siano convinti del loro lavoro è, secondo me, plausibile!

Hello,

here is a short update about what is going on at the moment:

At the same time André, Marcus and I are fixing final arrangement issues but basically we have finished the biggest part of composing. We are going to start the production for the new album somewhere during the last days of August. As you can imagine everyone is highly motivated, excited and of course ready to go.

Io sono un fan accanito dei BLIND!Mi è piaciuto soprattutto

"Nightfall in the middle earth".

Blind Guardian Rulez!

Che ne dite di questo?

No sign of life did flicker

In floods of tears she cried

"All hope's lost it can't be undone

They're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speeches

I know (They blinded us all)

What you want

You will take it away from me

Take it and I know for sure

The light she once brought in

Is gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang

"(We're) lost in the deep shades

The misty cloud brought

(A wailing when beauty was gone

Come take a look at the sky)

Monstrous it covered the shore

Fearful into the unknown"

Quietly it crept in new horror

Insanity reigned

And spilled the first blood

When the old king was slain

Nightfall

Quietly crept in and changed us all

Nightfall

Quietly crept in and changed us all

Nightfall

Immortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall we

Mourn in the dark

the bliss and the beauty

Will not return

Say farewell to sadness and grief

Though long and hard the road may be"

But even in silence I heard the words

"An oath we shall swear

By the name of the one

Until the world's end

It can't be broken"

Just wondering how

I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king

"I swear revenge"

Filled with anger aflamed our hearts

Full of hate full of pride

We screamed for revenge

"Vala he is that's what you said

Then your oath's been sworn in vain

(But) freely you came and

You freely shall depart

(So) never trust the northern winds

Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"

"You better don't trust him"

The enemy of mine

Isn't he of your kind and

Finally you may follow me

Farewell

He said

E quest'altro ancora?

There are signs on the Ring

Which makes me feel so down

There's one to enslave all Rings

To find them all in time

And drive them into darkness

Forever they'll be bound

Three for the Kings

Of the elves high in light

Nine to the mortal

Which cry

I'll keep the Ring full of sorrow

I'll keep the Ring till I die

I'll keep the Ring full of sorrow

I'll keep the Ring till i die

Slow down and I sail on the river

Slow down and i walk to the hill

And there 's no way out

Mordor

Dark land under Sauron's spell

Threatened for a long time

Threatened for a long time

Seven rings to the dwarves

In their halls made of stone

Into the valley

I feel down

One ring to the dark lord's hand

Sitting on his throne

In a land so dark

Where i have to go

I'll keep the Ring

Slow down and I sail on the river

Slow down and i walk to the hill

Lord of the Rings

Ahhhhh,che goduria....
