Their four years between albums is absolute torture...

I'd rather they take this long and give us albums that are worth the wait than crank out mediocre albums every 18 months.

This.

Blind Guardian is basically my favorite band of all time, but if they had said At the Edge of Time was their final album - I would've been thrilled. Would've been the perfect conclusion to their studio albums. I really have no idea where they could POSSIBLY take their music from here on out, and I really hope they don't ever become mediocre. I guess we'll see what happens!

I just hope I get a chance to see them another 10+ times in my life, since i've only seen them once so far and Hansi's turning 50...

Amen!

I am really looking forward to this (and hopefully another US tour).

Indeed. Too many bands get caught up in that 18 month cycle (understandably so) of releasing music regardless of whether or not they've written quality music or not. I'd prefer a band take its time and get it right.

Hmmmmmm....

Can't wait!!

Hmmmmmm....

Blind Guardian is playing Wednesday. CONFIRMED.

 

[AngraRULES]

Blind Guardian is playing Wednesday. CONFIRMED.

Blind Guardian upstairs?!?! You are way too optimistic bro.

 

[PromisedLand]

Winky faces aren't binding contracts? Dammit..

... wait.. you're doing MWM in Center Stage?

 

[Smc316]

Blind Guardian upstairs?!?! You are way too optimistic bro.

JUST ONE OF MANY TOURDATES.

Let me dream damn it. And then when you crush said dream, I can get mad at you for not providing us with a three hour Blind Guardian set.

 

[General Zod]

Blind Guardian is playing Wednesday. CONFIRMED.

You're being crazy. It's Demons & Wizards, with both Barlow and Ripper joining them on stage. That's away more realistic.

 

[Smc316]

Man, if I ever saw Demons & Wizards, i'd be pissed if Owens or Barlow tried stealing Hansi's flame.

 

[Mantraschism]

I'm so happy about this. I've loved Blind Guardian for a long time, and new music from them is always most welcome in my world.

 

[Oblivion Ocean]

Man, if I ever saw Demons & Wizards, i'd be pissed if Owens or Barlow tried stealing Hansi's flame.

Haha, I came here to semi-jokingly post the same thing. If you have Hansi I would not want Ripper or Barlow anywhere but in a seat watching. And I am a pretty big Barlow fan.

BLIND GUARDIAN - BEYOND THE RED MIRROR ALBUM DETAILS REVEALED

"...Beyond The Red Mirror will be the title of the highly-anticipated tenth studio album by Germany’s favorite sons and metal’s most epic storytellers Blind Guardian. Prepare to have your senses overwhelmed.

This better have a U.S. tour. But I actually like that second cover. Pretty cool. Instant preorder as soon as I see it on Nuclear Blast.

Here are some additional tidbits about the new album on the band's web site.

Of course, this sounds as if it will be awesome. No doubt about it.
Glenn. Progpower XVII. How about it?

It would be moronic to think they're NOT going to do a full US tour.
