BLIND GUARDIAN Release Live Performance Video For ‘The Ninth Wave’ Track
July 7th, 2017

German power metal group Blind Guardian have released a live video for the track ‘The Ninth Wave’, which can be viewed below.

Blind Guardian issued concert album Live Beyond The Spheres on July 7th, 2017 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Available as a three-disc and four-LP affair, the Live Beyond The Spheres’ set includes material recorded at various shows during the band’s 2015 European tour.

The aforementioned set consists of old tracks and new tracks, as well as rarely performed tracks.

Frontman Hansi Kürsch issued the following statement: “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 bandmember 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.”
