STURM & DRANG MEETS BOMBAST
With the album "Somewhere Far Beyond" Blind Guardian set a fat milestone at the beginning of the 90s. The fourth longplayer of the band around the powerful-voiced frontman Hansi Kürsch and the guitarist André Olbrich was decisive for everything that was to follow later from Blind Guardian. Soon the groundbreaking masterpiece will celebrate its 30th birthday. And this is to be duly celebrated in the fall of 2021 with the "Somewhere Far Beyond" anniversary tour. The band will play the fantastic work in its entirety and also deliver other bangers from three and a half decades of Blind Guardian as well as brand new song material.
Blind Guardian are Germany's most successful prog power metal band. Their excellent live reputation has been underpinned by several major world tours in recent years. In our fast moving times Blind Guardian are one of the last great originals. Unmistakable and unique. At the Wacken World Live Stream Festival 2020 they presented a brand new song with "Violent Shadows", but on the next tour the German metal veterans will look far back again. Namely, to one of the greatest musical moments of their career. "Somewhere Far Beyond", the band's fourth album, brought not only the change to the major label Virgin Records, but also striking changes in the sound. The longplayer united the boisterous speed metal sound of their founding years with a strong pinch of Middle Earth folklore and gave a foretaste of the orchestral hurricane that was very soon to come. Sturm und Drang meets gripping bombast. A tone-setting metal reference work that is still dearly loved by many fans today. Now this epic is approaching its 30th birthday. And of course it wants to be celebrated epochally. To this end, Blind Guardian will embark on the "Somewhere Far Beyond" anniversary tour in the fall of 2021. For the first time in their history, they will play the album in its entirety - from "Time What Is Time" and "The Quest For Tanelorn" to the overwhelming title track and the immortal fan favorite "The Bard's Song". Hansi Kürsch: "'Somewhere Far Beyond' is an enormously important album for us and even a good 30 years after its release it can still be described as an absolute crowd favorite. For us it is of course a matter of honor to celebrate the work together with our fans. We are looking forward to the shows. Let's sing the bard's song!" This tour is not only a unique opportunity to enjoy this classic live in all its epic glory, it also serves as the perfect prelude to the new studio album due out at the end of 2021. Because if you read the omens correctly, on the next work the hardness screw will be tightened again significantly. Let the march of time begin again.
