Blind Guardian release new live music video for ‘Bright Eyes’

BLIND GUARDIAN have released a new live music video!

The new live music video, for the track Bright Eyes, is taken from the German power metal maestros’ upcoming new 25th anniversary edition of Imaginations From The Other Side, which is scheduled to be released in December this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Speaking about the new live music video, vocalist Hansi Kürsch says, “Bright Eyes is a godsend. The piece was composed during an unexpected forced break in production. When we were able to continue recording the album, André and I were not entirely happy with the composition, but luckily Marcus and Thomen had recognised the song’s potential straight away, so it landed in its raw form on the album without any further intervention on our part. We put it on the album and then it surprisingly turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of the record, or perhaps even our entire career. I have no idea, nowadays, what we did not like back then. The song-writing for Imaginations… was long finished and we were already recording the album, when André got severe problems with his fingers and had to undertake a critical surgery, which as we know now, was fortunately successful. Bright Eyes is without any doubt one of the band’s and the audience’s favourite songs, especially when it comes to live shows. One of the ultimate singalongs and therefore one of the absolute highlights in a BLIND GUARDIAN concert. Check it out.”

Continuing to talk about the upcoming anniversary album, Hansi continues, “a brilliant album celebrates its 25th anniversary and it is great to celebrate this in such a bombastic manner. Luckily we filmed our 2016 show in Oberhausen when we performed the entire album live. This is the perfect moment for us to present this masterpiece in so many different ways. An ideal resurrection of precious memories long gone, but not forgotten. This album is made for eternity… I hope. Enjoy.”
