The Bard's Song (In The Forest) - Live at Wacken 2011 Four-and-a-half years in the making, Beyond The Red Mirror was recorded at Twilight Hall Studio in Grefrath, Germany and produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (SAXON, HAMMERFALL, HELLOWEEN). The album’s spellbinding tracks showcase BLIND GUARDIAN’s long-awaited collaborative work with three different classical choirs from Prague, Budapest, and Boston, plus two grand orchestras - each featuring 90 musicians. An endeavour demanding that attention be paid to the lyrics as much as to the music, Beyond The Red Mirror is a desperate search for truth, an exploration of the relativities of good and evil, a testimony of the consequences of lost opportunities, a glimpse into a distant universe’s dystopian society, and a story about a prophecy, a promise of revolution, a plot for revenge, and a miracle machine with powers far beyond what mere mortals could have dreamed possible. Featuring artwork by long-time collaborator Felipe Machado, Beyond The Red Mirror is now available for pre-order from the Nuclear Blast Webshop in the following formats: • Jewel Case (10 songs) • Limited Edition Digi-Pak / Digi-Book (11 songs) • Double LP gatefold vinyl (11 songs) • EarBook (12 songs plus illustrations, photos, and liner notes) • Exclusive Limited Edition NB Mail-Order Earbook (12 songs plus illustrations, photos, liner notes + bonus 10”) Left (blue): Standard Artwork Right (red): Earbook / Digi-Pak & Digi-Book Artwork The track listing for Beyond The Red Mirror is as follows: 01.
