Description

One of the most ambitious projects in the history of Metal! The idea of recording an orchestral album came to the minds of the band’s two leaders, guitarist André Olbrich and singer Hansi Kürsch, in the 90s. Legacy Of The Dark Lands is an opus unlike any other, an opus different from what the German quartet has achieved so far. A gigantic project for Blind Guardian, a unique work for the fans! The concept for this record takes its source from the new book by bestselling German author Markus Heitz, titled Die Dunklen Lande, recently released. The story, which tells the adventures of a mercenary named Nicolas during the Thirty Years’ War, takes place in 1629 and can be considered a prequel to the band’s album. BLIND GUARDIAN has been working on this project for 20 years. Some things just need time. Rome, for example, wasn’t built in a day. A certain Professor Tolkien didn’t write “The Lord of the Rings” over a weekend in Oxford either. BLIND GUARDIAN is very aware of this fact. Known for their tendency to brood over their refined concept albums like a dragon over its treasure, they manage to outdo themselves every time in terms of abundance, depth and grandeur. So when such a fantasy metal icon announces a gigantic project of unseen proportions, it’s best to be ready for a storm. Finally, "Legacy Of The Dark Lands" has arrived and leaves the world utterly speechless. Recorded with the unleashed omnipotence of Prague Filmharmonic experienced in Rudolfinum in Prague, BLIND GUARDIAN unleashes a hurricane that need not fear the greatest fantasy soundtracks. Created and conceptualized with the overlord of German fantasy Markus Heitz, this album is the direct sequel to his bestseller "Die dunklen Lande" ("The Dark Lands"), which tells the story of an apocalyptic secret in the dark era of the Thirty Years’ War. Monumental, saturnine, moving, full of anthems and unforgettable choruses: this is pure BLIND GUARDIAN, without electric guitar.
