yelworK they drop ALL the pretense and just get back to kicking power metal ass...as it should be.

Henrik Thøgersen Putting out albums for 25 years and then dropping one this potent, radiating raw energy, brimming with inspired ideas, and utterly overflowing with memorable songs is beyond amazing. It’s a damn triumph! Favorite track: Deliver Us From Evil.

andrewtherooster Great songs. Progressive elements, but with that old school power metal focus. I haven't been this into a Blind Guardian album since A Night at the Opera. This shit rules. I love the lyrical themes of the gods we serve and how they rule us, mostly for worse. If you love classic BG, or just anthemic metal with group vocals and memorable parts, check this one out. Favorite track: Architects Of Doom.

Matthew Skipworth Another solid lp from the kings of European power metal! BG have done very well in bridging the more modern (progressive) qualities of their music with the more stripped-back, thrasher elements of their earlier albums. I'm so thrilled to see the BG discography making its way to bandcamp... 😊 Favorite track: Architects Of Doom.

about

Seven years after "Beyond The Red Mirror", Krefeld metal kings BLIND GUARDIAN make a brilliant return and compensate for the waiting time with their new studio album "The God Machine". Offering anthems like "Blood Of The Elves", "Secrets Of The American Gods" and "Violent Shadows", the album proves to be a modern masterpiece that transports the trademarks of the classic "Imaginations From The Other Side" into the here and now.

Hansi Kürsch explains: "We didn't want to rehash our style from 1995, but on the other hand we didn't want to have to continue on our current path forever. "The God Machine" is a new beginning for us. We're putting everything back to square one and return to certain patterns that we neglected a bit on previous releases." Look forward to an album that is straighter, more aggressive, but always blessed with highly infectious melodies and hooks."

All tracks are 24-bit and 48kHz.
