TWILIGHT OF THE GODS
ültima obra de los alemanes Blind Guardian, un disco al que reconozco que le debo aún unas cuantas escuchas con detenimiento, pero es uno de esos grupos por los que uno puede apostar un poco a ciegas, seguramente unos discos te llenen más que otros, pero al final la calidad está ahí. Ya nos hemos referido a Blind Guardian antes en este blog, y en general poco hay que decir que ya no se sepa
de esta extraordinaria banda alemana, tan solo una breve referencia a
su largo historial musical. Blind Guardian se formó en 1984 en Alemania,
bajo el nombre de Lucifer's Heritage, con el que funcionaron hasta
1986, en que cambian a Blind Guardian. Los miembros fundadores fueron
Hansi Kursch y Andre Olbrich, incorporándose al poco tiempo Thomen
Stauch y Marcus Siepen. De ellos solo Thomen Stauch ha dejado la banda
en 2005. Algunos otros músicos han pasado por el grupo y grandes
colaboraciones como la de Kai Hansen, pero en general Blind Guardian han
tenido mucha estabilidad en su formación. Influenciados por la
literatura, (sobre todo Tolkien y Stephen King) y el cine, sus letras
hacen referencia a esos temas y en ocasiones ayudan a la linea
argumental de canciones de la banda o incluso de discos enteros. Tienen ya 10
discos de estudio, a cual mejor, lo que les ha creado un nombre entre
los grupos internacionales más respetados dentro de nuestro mundillo. Esta décima obra de estudio comienza con el lanzamiento de su primer single, el "Twilight of the gods" del que hoy dejo un enlace a youtube. Típico tema de Blind Guardian, con los elementos esperados del grupo. Seguramente no será el tema más representativo de la historia del grupo, pero merece la pena siempre echar un vistazo a lo nuevo de esta buena banda.
How they dared to be such misguided creatures
How they dared to be of such evil nature
Spiral up to doors all sealed, no turning back
Red door to Discordia
Steal the stars, deceive the day
(A sign of evil)
They're gone with a final warning
Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return?
A storm will take us and then wipe us out
There's no retreat
We're trapped in twilight while the gods will drowse
(Gods will drowse)
They'll wait and sleep until a new dawn saves us from the dark
The damage's done
The king is gone
There is war wherever I'll roam
Gods will come and gods will go
The spinning wheel keeps turning
Now get up, lay down your ancient faith
We're the chosen ones
Come feel the change
A way, let me show a new way
When you dare to walk with me
Bow down and surrender
The old gods, black or white
To me it's grey
A sign of evil
I hail all these non-believers
Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return?
A storm will take us and then wipe us out
There's no retreat
We're trapped in twilight while the gods will drowse
(Gods will drowse)
They'll wait and sleep until a new dawn saves us from the dark
Deliver your gods, they shall be slain
I'm their fallen son, don't be afraid
A way, let me show a new way
When you're gonna walk with me
As one we're infernal
What's going up, it will come down
We're here to change
There's war in Discordia
Sure as death, we all must fade
(A sign of evil)
Now reach for a new horizon
Witness the twilight of the gods
Will they ever return?
A storm will take us and then wipe us out
There's no retreat
We're trapped in twilight while the gods will drowse
(Gods will drowse)
They'll wait and sleep until a new dawn saves us from the dark
How they dared to be of such evil nature
