Description

Double album on picture discs with gatefold cover.

Some things just need time. Rome, for example, wasn’t built in a day. Also a certain professor Tolkien didn’t write The Lord Of The Rings over a weekend in Oxford. Blind Guardian are very well aware of this fact. Known for their tendency to brood over their refined concept albums like a dragon over its treasure, they manage to surpass themselves in terms of bombast, depth and grandeur every single time. Thus, if such a fantasy metal icon is announcing a gargantuan project of unseen proportions, we had better be ready for a storm. Finally, Legacy Of The Dark Lands has arrived, and is rendering the world utterly speechless. Recorded with the unleashed omnipotence of the soundtrack-experienced Prague Filmharmonic in Prague’s Rudolfinum, Blind Guardian are raising a hurricane that does not need to shy away from fantasy’s biggest soundtracks. Created and conceptualized with German fantasy overlord Markus Heitz, this album is the direct sequel to his bestselling novel Die dunklen Lande (The Dark Lands), telling the story of an apocalyptic secret in the dark times of the Thirty Years War. Monumental, saturnine, touching, full of anthems and unforgettable choruses: this is purely Blind Guardian, without any electric guitars
