The plan for 2005 and 2006…

2005-08-11 - BLIND GUARDIAN singer Hansi K&uuml;rsch has posted the following message on the group's official web site:<br><br>&quot;Here is a short update about what is going on at the moment: Our new drummer Frederik Ehmke did some kick-ass drum arrangements for the new songs, and now Oliver Holzwarth has started working on the bass arrangements. At the same time Andr&eacute;, Marcus and I are fixing final arrangement issues, but basically we have finished the biggest part of composing. We are going to start the production for the new album somewhere during the last days of August. As you can imagine everyone is highly motivated, excited and of course ready to go.&quot;<br><br>BLIND GUARDIAN's &quot;very rough&quot; schedule for the next months:<br><br>Late August - End of November: <br>*Recording [and] mixing of the first single <br>*Video shoot<br><br>December 2005/January 2006: <br>*Mixing<br><br>February/March 2006: <br>*Promotion <br>* Release of the first single<br><br>April/May 2006: <br>*Release of the album and warm-up shows<br><br>June &#8211; August 2006: <br>*Warm-up shows <br>*South America <br>*Japan <br>*Release of the second single<br><br>September &#8211; October 2006: <br>*Europe<br><br>November 2006: <br>*Japan <br>*Australia<br><br>December 2006 &#8211; February 2007: <br>*USA, Mexico and Canada<br><br>BLIND GUARDIAN recently replaced drummer Thomen Stauch, who left the band in April after 20 years. The new man behind the kit is fellow German Frederik Ehmke, who is said to be &quot;fairly unknown in the world of metal.&quot; He has been playing with medieval rockers SCHATTENTANTZ before.<br><br>The production of BLIND GUARDIAN's debut album for Nuclear Blast Records will happen with the help of producer Charlie Bauerfeind. No album title has been set as of yet, but it looks like the CD will contain a total of ten songs. Working titles include 'Carry The Blessed Home', 'The Edge', 'In Search For The Lionheart', 'Market Square', 'Another Stranger Me', and 'Otherland'.<br><br>&quot;More <a href="http://www.nuclearblast.de/band_showa.php?artist=714"><u>BLIND GUARDIAN</u></a>&quot;
