BLIND GUARDIAN: Eight New Songs Completed - Mar. 4, 2009
German power metallers BLIND GUARDIAN have finished writing eight new songs for the band's forthcoming album. Vocalist Hansi Kürsch states: "What can I say about these songs? They rule, of course. You want a more precise description? Impossible. All I can say is that each and every song is 100% BLIND GUARDIAN, which, naturally, means there is a wild bunch of different things going on from time to time (always?). According to atmospheres: we have everything from the more 'Nightfall'-ish 'Curse My Name', to the 'Script'-ish 'Wheel Of Time'. In comparison to 'A Twist In The Myth', the lyrical direction will be more on the fantasy side as you most probably can figure out by these titles. The song 'Sacred' will give you an idea about the quality and the direction of the songs. We have mixed modern elements with traditional ones throughout the whole songs. We may need two or three more tracks before we can call it a complete album, but being that far in the songwriting process we nevertheless have made first plans for a production start in September or October 2009
Wow! There hasn't been a new Blind Guardian album since 2006! And they made a song about the Wheel of Time series?? I used to LOVE those books!
There's a new bookstore manager at work..the other one quit cause she found a better job (psh!). The new one (Hannah) is waaay better anyway..she's awesome haha. I found a glacier book and bought it for my Glacier Collection of Epicness ;)

I love forget-me-nots! I wish they were our state flower haha...though I do like violets too. :)
