Saksalainen progressiivisen voimametallin veteraani Blind Guardian julkaisee vuoden 2015 Euroopan kiertueelta taltioidun livealbumin ”Live Beyond The Spheres” heinäkuussa. Triplalevyllä kuullaan tulkintoja yhtyeen koko 1980-luvulta alkaneen uran ajalta. Bändin viimeisin studiolevy “Beyond The Red Mirror” julkaistiin tammikuussa 2015.
Laulaja Hansi Kürsch kertoo uudesta livejulkaisusta:
In general I would say that we’ve had a really good run on this tour and that nearly every show was perfect. But at the end of the day, after every band-member has checked each and every song and concert of those 30 shows again and again, there were only like two or three versions of each song being suitable to be used for an album. We then had to decide between those last remaining Versions, which would have been the most impressive one. This was a nearly endless task! The songs finally chosen reveal such an energy, that possible smaller mistakes appeared to be totally unimportant for the evaluation. As soon as you have listened to the songs, you will know what I mean, they feel alive. There is always something happening at each show, let’s call it ‘MAGIC’, that is giving us all creeps. We are really satisfied when the people sing with us, have a good time and go back home happy.
“Live Beyond The Spheres” ilmestyy Nuclear Blastin kautta 7.7.2017 3CD ja 4LP-formaateissa.
