Greatly inspired by world myths, legends, and their own fervent creativity, Metal’s most epic storytellers Blind Guardian continually aspire to define themselves on a whole new level. In recent years the giant project started to take shape, and the lyrical concept developed. For this, Blind Guardian was able to find support in German best-selling author Markus Heitz, whose latest novel “Die Dunklen Lande” was released on March 1st 2019. The book is set in 1629 and contains the prequel to their opus “Legacy Of The Dark Lands”.“Every single track unveils spectacular worlds and tells its very own story. What is the secret surrounding Nicolas? Will he be able to cast off the chains of war and how will his loved ones fare? On “Legacy Of The Dark Lands” via Blind Guardian’s Twilight Orchestra, André Olbrich and Hansi Kürsch fulfill their long-time wish of emphasizing imposing choral singing and classical orchestral arrangements. It promises to be an opus unlike any other that the German quartet has ever released, or rather: an opus, as has never been heard ever before.nts. GATEFOLD SLEEVE LIMITED EDITION
