I like them very much. Blind Guardian is a heck of a singer.

The only thing that bugs me is that ever since 1998 they have that stupid "1 Album every 4 years" release policy.

Yeah, and it's not even intentional, they told the fans that 4 years was too long for ANATO and they wanted to get A Twist in the Myth out earlier, and then they apologized again and said they wanted to break the 4 year cycle for the next release.

They won't break it. It is already 4 years since the last album.

Cool! Nothing is wrong with twist in the myth but I hope the next one is better.

Quoting BG official website:
Back to "Song 12". After counting all songs (and I did that again and again) I finally figured we only have worked on eleven in total. Don't blame me, blame André. He has called it "Song 12". What can I do? Well, I do have two choices. I either call it "Song 11" from today on or I keep it as it is. To create no further confusion I call it the "Eleventh song which is called Song 12" for now. It is another nice one, to say that much.

:D
the next paragraph (Far more exciting)
To finish the "still- to-do-list": We will end up recordings with some gigantic choir sessions, which will take some time to be completed. :-) Anyway, the stuff so far turned out even better than expected. Keep in mind it is me saying that and I partly have been involved. By now I assume it is no secret anymore that we twice have traveled to Prague during the last months for orchestral recordings. What can I say? It sounds brilliant. We have heavily used orchestration in "Sacred" (yes, the song will be on the album in an even longer and certainly better version) and naturally for "Wheel of Time" as well as in some other parts on the album. As probably said before, this will be our most bombastic and epic album so far. Whether there will be 8 or 9 songs on the album I do not know, by now. But each and every song has a completely different approach in comparison to each other and one compliments the other in a perfect way. Except probably for "Song 5" and "Song 10". Or was it "Song 10" and "Song 8"? I can't remember. So it won't matter, right? September you will know what I mean. :-) We may show mercy and provide you with some small samples, before. If I don't forget. What was I talking about?

September is too far away, damnit I hate waiting, but then again seeing their track record in the past I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

According to most of the things I've seen they are still active, they just haven't recorded a new album yet.

but then again I could be wrong, that's all I know at this point.

I don't mean inactive as in "they broke up" but as in "they're not doing anything at the moment".

Always gotta listen to nightfall in middle earth before going on adventures in the woods. 8) The new song reminds me of 'a night at the opera' vocals. Vocal OVERLOAD! :lol: Dear Blind Guardian, you just broke my 5 dollar headphones!!!

This is exactly why Guardian has gone worse for me. I liked one raspy Hansi more than zillion high Hansis. I don't like the overly-layered production. This time, though, the 30 seconds of the new song sounds more awesome than anything from A Twist in the Myth... o.O Heard that days ago already, but damn! Just awesome! ;O
