Blind Guardian

Blind Guardian return with 'Twilight of the Gods'

The wait is over! Blind Guardian is back! The world's most popular fantasy metal band gives us 'Twilight of the Gods' – the first single from their long-awaited new album, to be unleashed upon the world in in January 2015.

'Twilight of the Gods' is the first creation of the Krefeld, Germany based band in more than four years will be released on December 5, 2014 via Nuclear Blast. Blind Guardian vocalist Hansi Kürsch assures, "this song is a statement about Blind Guardian. The pure definition of all that the band stands for: it is innovative, melodic and brutal." And thus a perfect choice to get fans into the proper mood for the upcoming album.
'Twilight of the Gods'is a "neck breaker" in the true tradition of Blind Guardian "that will captivate you with the most epic and catchy chorus we've ever written," says Kürsch.
In 'Twilight of the Gods' Blind Guardian is singing about the deities' waning power; no such times are in sight for the band. Blind Guardian is back with a vengeance; with an impressive single from an overwhelming record!
