BLIND GUARDIAN released its tenth full-length album entitled "Beyond The Red Mirror", on January 30th, 2015 in Europe and February 3rd, 2015 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records.

Four and a half years in the making, the follow-up to 2010's "At The Edge Of Time" was recorded at Twilight Hall Studio in Grefrath, Germany and produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (SAXON, HAMMERFALL, HELLOWEEN). The CD showcases BLIND GUARDIAN's collaborative work with three different classical choirs: one from the Czech Republic (Prague), one from Hungary (Budapest), and one from the United States (Boston). Two grand orchestras — each featuring 90 musicians — also lend their brilliant talents to the new recordings with absolutely spellbinding results.

Transporting listeners via a mysteriously powerful red mirror into an otherworldly dimension that includes tyrants, gods, and the Holy Grail, the ten songs comprising "Beyond The Red Mirror"'s story lines revolve around the young protagonist we first met twenty years ago in the 1995 tracks "Bright Eyes" and "And The Story Ends".

"A story between science fiction and fantasy," explains BLIND GUARDIAN vocalist and lyricist Hansi Kürsch. "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."

Asked to describe the band's guiding principles for the creation of this new release, BLIND GUARDIAN guitarist André Olbrich shares: “We want to surprise and impress with our music. Nowadays, music tends to be arbitrary and predictable. But we want to keep developing our music.”

Opening with a tidal wave of surging emotion courtesy of a spine-tingling choir "Beyond The Red Mirror" unleashes its first gem, "Ninth Wave", a consciousness-expanding palette of landscapes and moods bearing the message of an urgent mission still seeking resolution. Closing with an explosion of heroic harmonies and choral glories with a nine-and-a-half minute, self-contained saga, "Grand Parade" (called "the best song we have ever written" by Olbrich), the grandiose, uplifting, and ingenious storytelling in "Beyond The Red Mirror" is guaranteed to leave you breathless. 

Come 2015, you will soon experience why BLIND GUARDIAN are so influential in their genre and without equal in the pantheon of heavy metal music. Featuring artwork by longtime collaborator Felipe Machado.

The official lyric video for the song "Twilight Of The Gods" can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.

LEVEL 10, the collaboration between SYMPHONY X frontman Russell Allen and bassist Mat Sinner of PRIMAL FEAR − released its debut album entitled "Chapter One", on January 23rd, 2015 in Europe and on January 27th, 2014 in North America via Frontiers Music srl. The CD features 12 songs performed in a true Metal style, with a distinctly contemporary edge.

Also scheduled to make appearances on the CD are guitarist Roland Grapow of MASTERPLAN, guitarist Alex Beyrodt of SILENT FORCE, keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio of EDGE OF FOREVER and drummer Randy Black of PRIMAL FEAR. On the songwriting side — besides the band members — the album also sees contributions from Magnus Karlsson (MAGNUS KARLSSON'S FREE FALL), Carsten Schulz (BOOK OF REFLECTIONS), Sander Gommans (HDK) and Amanda Somerville (KISKE/SOMERVILLE).

While the actual recording took a long time due to the "day job" commitments from the various musicians involved in this release, the result is an outstanding and super-heavy — yet infectiously melodic — album. With Allen's over-the-top vocals and a powerful lineup second to none, the resulting CD is, from start to finish, a true delight for all heavy metal fans.

"The target was to write and record a traditional and powerful heavy rock album with some of the best players in this genre," says Sinner. "The result is just amazing. Russell's voice is in a fantastic shape, kick-ass songs and I'm really proud of the album!"

Russell Allen adds: "When Mat and I met many moons ago we became fast friends. He's a great talent and a great guy. We had talked about working together in some way and it took shape in the form of level 10. I'm very excited for the world to finally hear this great record!"

"Chapter One" was mixed by Achim Köhler (EDGUY, MASTERPLAN).

A three-song trailer for "Chapter One" can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.
