BLIND GUARDIAN - Beyond The Red Mirror
CD
Label: Nuclear Blast
Release date: 30.01.2015
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.
“A story between science fiction and fantasy,” explains Hansi. “The story begins with our
1995 album, »Imaginations From The Other Side«. 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.”
An endeavour demanding that attention be paid to the lyrics as much as to the music, what
follows is a desperate search for truth, an exploration of the relativities of good and evil, the consequences of lost opportunities, a glimpse into a distant universe’s dystopian society, 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.
