The killer German rock and metal band Blind Guardian is kicking of this summer with a their new album release titled The God Machine which is set to aim September 2 produced by Nuclear Blast. Celebrating the album early, the band decided to gift their fans with the release of one of the tracks from the album “Blood Of The Elves”, along with a new music video to go with it!
According to BlabberMouth, singer of the group writes Hansi Kürsch “Instrumentally, the track has some kind of an early Nineties appeal that blends well into the vocal parts of the opera/twist era and catapults both epochs into a new era for the band. A perfect hybrid. The chorus has some very strong sing-along vibes, despite its complexity. What else do you need?”
The whole video is a mixture of dark and bad-ass instrumentals. As the lyrics are inspired by the computer video game “The Witcher” series, the music video features potion bottles, computer animated blood spilling across the screen randomly (which is reminiscent of 90’s graphics), a background of god-like creatures and forests, and the band jamming it out on a stage.
Fans are happier than ever, calling it one of the best Blind Guardian songs in sometime! And, it is certainly prevalent in the hard beats of the drums and the electric guitars. You can view the tracklist for the new album, along with the music video for “Blood Of The Elves” below.
