First time listening to these guys, found it basically by accident. If the rest of their songs are as exciting as this then I'm going to be happy for a long time to come.
That album its like the worst. Imaginations from the other side, Nightfall in middle earth, Tales from the twilight world, Somewhere far beyond are way more epic!!!
I went to a show at this local club and they have posters of the bands who are coming soon and I saw Blind Guardian. I know they're German power metal I've just never listened to them I've started now though and will probably go to the show next month!
@Nobody Exactly, the more I listen to it its fucking amazing up there with the big boys for me at this point with Imaginations being first. Seriously, Throne, Prophesies, Ninth Wave, Holy Grail, and oh man Sacred Mind, etc.
I like the nod the the wheel of time in this song. This is a great song for sure. At the edge of time is still my fav album by far tho. Pure masterpiece
What I love about genres like Doom Metal & Power Metal, is that even without unclean vocals, you can still feel the heaviness of the guitars and drums, even more so in than black metal and death metal.
I cannot stop listening this for days now, again and again, ended up here. It is absuluteley fuckintastic. I heard their other works, and those are great, but this song is a masterpiece. The music, the vocal, the lyrics... The video is only the final touch on the top of it, and it's wonderfully fit to the whole. Amazing.
Every time I'm listening some of the BG's new album for a first time I dont like it. BUT after several listenings it totaly surrounds me and I'm stunned. As for me Blind Guardian is the best group ever.
Has an old school sound to it which I am loving! This will be a day one buy for sure, keep up the amazing work Blind Guardian! Raise your swords and your horns huzzah!
Hey Valarious I hear you. There's a war going on, and has been for many centuries. I love Blind Guardian because they cover all sorts of literature like Tolkein _(Lots of Tolkein)_, Stephen King, and Norse Mythology. They cover a lot of topics that can still be very useful in the secular community, even if lots of people aren't interested. They have been and will remain my favorite metal band. I really like your comment though. It takes a lot to come out and say that on UA-cam these days. :)
Well welcome to the club pal. Enjoy your Blind Guardian, and may I recommend, Demons and Wizards, Iron Savior, Gamma Ray, Iced Earth, Hammerfell, and Sabaton as your power metal starter pack.
I just bought this single and it sounds awesome. The mix on this video is no where near what it is when you have the real thing. Spend 99 cents on the mp3 to hear it in full quality \m/ I did and I look forward to the whole album
I saw this live in Vancouver. The live version was as flawless as the studio cut. Iron Maiden is the only other band that I have seen live that can meet or surpass their own studio quality in a live performance.
Honestly i love this band and the guy who comments a metal band for ordinary people,ask anyone if they ever heard of this band in a normal setting;i bet no.I honestly think blind guardian has never made a bad song.They are really good song story tellers,it's not for people with no love for fantasy or science fiction.
two things. 1) Im no expert, but the quality sounds fine on my audio technicas 2) This sounds like a night at the opera, which is their best album imo.
Ein typisch epischer BG Heavy/Speed Metal Stampfer mit Hansis kraftvoll melodischer Stimme. Für mich wird das Album ein absoluter Pflichtkauf 2015! HAIL to the Metal! \m/
Since I'm able to remember, BG are my favourite band of all time. I didn't enjoy A twist in the Myth but At The Edge Of Time was good. I'm loving this one but, PLEASE, this audio quality is really poor, guys! YOU ARE THE BARDS! Hope the album get a better sound quality than this : /
ManueN There was a comment by Nuclear Blast Records that was saying that the problem is only the upload... but it's disappeared :| i HOPE that the cd quality is not this
Stormsson But if you try the iTunes sample, it is better. I really think that the final quality will be much better :) Come on, it is Blind Guardian, have some faith in the Bards of our time.
I can't find the sample on iTunes: the link goes to the full album that is yet to come... BTW i trust BG in music, but i think someone somewhere fucked up, you can't promote an audio content, something that rely on audio quality , with something as flat as this. I almost can't even hear the bass line, and i'm using headphones that costs 150€ :| Im just saying that something is wrong with this clip,and surely it doesn't encourage me to buy the single
Stormsson I know what you mean... it is shitty what they did here. And I don't want another Return of the Elven Kings, which is probably an album with the worst quality that I have ever heard.
What's up with huge labels constantly releasing videos with MONO AUDIO. How does NO ONE NOTICE THIS? People think the mix is bad because it's fuckin MONO.
This makes me think of Dragon Age oddly enough, given how in the major 3 religions their gods either slumbered, left, or vanished. The more I listen to it the more it reminds me, for instance: 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 That part makes me think of Corypheus and his goal of becoming the God that either left Thedas behind, or was never truly there. I'm not saying the song actually has anything to do with Dragon Age, but it's interesting to find similarities in things.
@@WorgenWorld Legion was tolerable, BfA was so shitty that it smells like shit. Yeah Blizzard was groudbreaking they invented videogames that smell... like shit.
Reminds me of game of thrones or witcher 3 do not know probably cuz i always listen to it every time i play witcher 3 or just after watching game of thrones but either this album is awesome and in my opinion best album of 2015
This is just the first track off the album rushed through production to get something to the fans before the actual album is completed. I am sure final production for the new album will be 100% better I trust in the guardians of the blind.
I don't hear what everyone else is. Sounds perfectly fine to me. I think this album will be awesome, despite people being apparently way too picky about mixing. Mixing sounds great.
to antychryst and falls gods first make falls aliens invasions from space by aliens greys and this look like aliens but people dont know true Greys aliens are bio robots control by illuminati than fall gods come like protectors falls protectors to offer defens this planety but only for that to take control on her
Si este tema es el de presentación del disco no quiero imaginar el resto!!, personalmente y en mi opinión creo que va a ser otra desilusión importante de una de mis bandas sagradas.
i've been listening to bg since i was12 and i must say even tho they are my favorite band of all time (and i believe them to be the greatest composers of their era) this song dosent say much for a bg song. however tis means the rest of the album is surely kickass. also i know i will be hated for this, but i wish they would go towards a more "a twist in the myth" direction. they really found something there.
For everyone complaining about the audio quality, I bought this song on iTunes yesterday and it sounds MUCH better than here. It must be a UA-cam problem. Für alles die klagen über den Audioqualität, ich habe dieses Lied aus ITunes gestern gekauft und klingt es VIEL besser als hier. Es muss eines UA-camproblem sien
I downloaded the song from the Nuclear Blast website and it sounds sooooo much better. There is something wrong with this upload, it seems. Anyway, I can't wait for the album. :D
This Album ties in very well with the Wheel of Time, I consider this Prophecy metal. As songs they have made a decade ago, Tie into these Lyrics and Albume concept. It's actually quite amazing in my oppnion and i think they outdone themselves. They keep that same blind guardian sound and transform it to suit the content depending on what the concept originally was, Be it Lord of the Rings or Ancient Civilizations. Of course not everyone is going to appreciate this, But just letting you know. I appreciate it.

GrayWoIf
dude, I ve seen them live more than 8 times, Its one of the best live bands out there. Its just amazing live
@@NickArthfael Funny, Beyond the Red Mirror is my favorite
@Nobody Exactly, the more I listen to it its fucking amazing up there with the big boys for me at this point with Imaginations being first. Seriously, Throne, Prophesies, Ninth Wave, Holy Grail, and oh man Sacred Mind, etc.
This album gets better every damn time listen to it. One of the best albums of the year for sure.
Thats for sure. Its one of those albums that just get better and better as opposed to albums that have a great first impression, but fade away quick.
+Cuzcatan everytime I listen to it, every song just gives me chills,fucking beautiful
Nuclear blast why do you have all of my favorite bands?
Because they are a blast!
GamesFrontline buh dum tss
omg... xD
because Nuclear Blast obviously has the best taste in music
You should check out Napalm Records.
I like the nod the the wheel of time in this song. This is a great song for sure. At the edge of time is still my fav album by far tho. Pure masterpiece
Blind Guardian- Twilight of the Gods
Bathory- Twilight of the Gods
Helloween- Twilight of the Gods
Amon Amarth- Twilight of the Thunder God
Helloween have the best song.
Richard Wagner - Götterdämmerung
Also Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem Echoes- Twilight of the Gods
You forgot "Twilight of the Gods" by Grave Digger.
He has got a voice... Incredible ❤
+Nik. K. Hansi vote for President!:D
What I love about genres like Doom Metal & Power Metal, is that even without unclean vocals, you can still feel the heaviness of the guitars and drums, even more so in than black metal and death metal.
I originally bought this album for the cover art and knew nothing of the band but now, I am a huge fan of them!
I cannot stop listening this for days now, again and again, ended up here. It is absuluteley fuckintastic. I heard their other works, and those are great, but this song is a masterpiece.

One the very few bands that still conserve their own style and heavy metallic attidute.
Blind Guardian sendo Blind Guardian!!! Sensacional!!!
I can't believe this album is five years old already. I feel like it just came out!
I hear so much Queen inspiration in here and it's awesome.
HERESY
@@lordjor96 Hansi Kuersch is a big Queen fan.
Heard this back when the single dropped, BG is now my favorite band of all time. No regrets
Has an old school sound to it which I am loving! This will be a day one buy for sure, keep up the amazing work Blind Guardian! Raise your swords and your horns huzzah!
Greatest power metal band ever. Period.
Sounds good.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hail Mary full of Grace.
From ashes we have come and to ashes we shall return.
God bless.
Why?...
"It's gray; A sign of Evil."
Is it a soundtrack to a something?
Or are they some kind of Nord band.

I really like your comment though. It takes a lot to come out and say that on UA-cam these days. :)
It is a cool way of doing story telling, but as for music for me it is a little too far from the Gospel of Jesus Christ to invest in.
Great sound tho.
This song kick perfect whit the new Netflix Series of the same name ❤ PERFECT
I just can't say how good this song makes me feel
Ugh Hansi's voice is so damn epic
Damn, Hansi sounds powerful. There was always power in his voice, but on this track, he sounds particularly majestic.
pretty cool...another band my son turned me on to...I'm glad a I raised him to have great taste in music :)
I'm always in for a new Blind Guardian album. They can honestly do no wrong=)
All of you bragging about how the song was mixed and here i am, enjoying new stories and melodies brought by this amazing musicians
who else is hypnotized by the background pictures/animations and did not even listen to this masterpiece?
Just got this album on vinyl, it is utterly awesome.
just found them while trying to find some nice power metal
but this band is fucking awesome!!!
How do you even know what power metal is and not have heard BG?
im 17
Well welcome to the club pal. Enjoy your Blind Guardian, and may I recommend, Demons and Wizards, Iron Savior, Gamma Ray, Iced Earth, Hammerfell, and Sabaton as your power metal starter pack.
CooLmAn I'm 18. I've been into more extreme stuff since middle school. You tried Helloween and Iced Earth yet?
mates thx for all these starter's packs :D but I have been more into sabaton
I just bought this single and it sounds awesome. The mix on this video is no where near what it is when you have the real thing. Spend 99 cents on the mp3 to hear it in full quality \m/ I did and I look forward to the whole album
Blind Guardian always has the coolest artwork.
M Mirlas Somewhere far Beyond is bar far my favourite album cover ever
And this is why we as a band love Blind Guardian!
I saw this live in Vancouver. The live version was as flawless as the studio cut. Iron Maiden is the only other band that I have seen live that can meet or surpass their own studio quality in a live performance.
Well you should try listening to Sabaton,Into to the fire and Ghost Division is better live.
Siempre es agradable escuchar material nuevo de esta maravillosa banda. Arriba los bardos!
A new Blind Guardian album. Yeah, a quite epic Christmas gift.
Honestly i love this band and the guy who comments a metal band for ordinary people,ask anyone if they ever heard of this band in a normal setting;i bet no.I honestly think blind guardian has never made a bad song.They are really good song story tellers,it's not for people with no love for fantasy or science fiction.
I don't know why my friend don't understand why I like Blind Guardian, but now I realize that I do not now either. They are just...FABULOUS
Very old school metal. I like it, brings back memories of Spandex and Aqua Net.
still my favourite song to train my singing to
Loved the song from the first time I've heard it
These vocals are something else...jesus
two things.
1) Im no expert, but the quality sounds fine on my audio technicas
2) This sounds like a night at the opera, which is their best album imo.
EXCELLENT VIDEO. MAYBE THE BEST LYRIC-VIDEO EVER!!!
Best I've heard from them since A Night at the Opera. This album is looking good...
Ein typisch epischer BG Heavy/Speed Metal Stampfer mit Hansis kraftvoll melodischer Stimme.
Für mich wird das Album ein absoluter Pflichtkauf 2015!
HAIL to the Metal! \m/
Blind Guardian is back \m/ :D
Awesome song! Looking forward to February!
Since I'm able to remember, BG are my favourite band of all time. I didn't enjoy A twist in the Myth but At The Edge Of Time was good.
I'm loving this one but, PLEASE, this audio quality is really poor, guys! YOU ARE THE BARDS! Hope the album get a better sound quality than this : /
ManueN There was a comment by Nuclear Blast Records that was saying that the problem is only the upload... but it's disappeared :| i HOPE that the cd quality is not this
***** Sadly, if you try deezer or spotify is as bad as this :(
Stormsson But if you try the iTunes sample, it is better. I really think that the final quality will be much better :) Come on, it is Blind Guardian, have some faith in the Bards of our time.

what the fuck, i've spent 60 euros on blind guardian albums in itunes, every album is better than the last
Itunes lmao
60€ :(
supporting the bands you like lmao, and not stealing their work :P
sry i just hate itunes
why?
it sucks
you don't have your files when you buy them + they are not hq
this needs a dark soul video.
my current favorite song
Its difficult for the old bands write a MASTERPIECE like this
When he say "a way", ı had a eargasm.
Finally, a good thing in this crappy day.
ES UNA EXELENTE BANDA DE MIS FAVORITAS EL TEMA ME PARECIO MUY BUENO Y CREO QUE EL ALBUM COMPLETO VA HACER EXELENTE
Love the song!!!! Can't wait for the full album. This video is pretty cool. I love the way the lyrics appear. Great job.
What's up with huge labels constantly releasing videos with MONO AUDIO. How does NO ONE NOTICE THIS? People think the mix is bad because it's fuckin MONO.
Maybe it's in MONO cuz it's in UA-cam. Pretty sure in a physical format it, will sound great for sure !!!
aha wow XD how can such big companies make such rookie errors??
Just hearing the song on Google Music, much better quality and Power. Great!
Stefan Offermann you sure? i cannot find it there :(
Ivan Lovrenčić here play.google.com/music/m/Bkb4w7fckeefihhyozrun2xeife
this video is some world of warcraft shit
I'm super into it
to be more accurate it would be closer to guild wars 2 story arc basically the influence of the gods up and vanished
hi14993 no, the name of the last mission of warcraft iii (reign of chaos) is "twilight of the gods"
Btw. Guild wars suck
TheHaoshoku Ragnarök = Götterdämmerung = Twilight of the Gods
It's a bit older that Warcraft.
Winkelried *facepaml
are you talking about the battle of the end of the world in the nordic mitology?
you are soooo dumb...
TheHaoshoku
wow, calm down, I'm just talking about the origin of the name.
it's a kick ass song
Blind guardian como antigamente ,isso é Blind na sua melhor forma
até aqui?
This makes me think of Dragon Age oddly enough, given how in the major 3 religions their gods either slumbered, left, or vanished.
The more I listen to it the more it reminds me, for instance:
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
That part makes me think of Corypheus and his goal of becoming the God that either left Thedas behind, or was never truly there.
I'm not saying the song actually has anything to do with Dragon Age, but it's interesting to find similarities in things.
This album should have been the successor of nightfall in middle earth. They have made it this time . Well done Blind guardian
The damage's done(WoW DPS) The king is gone(Alliance King Varian is dead)....
Twilight of the Gods
Next expansion is Old Gods themed
Yes, and that sucked
@@samukabm lol I posted this comment when I was so hooked with Legion hahahaha,yeah BFA has been a shit,I had a blast with Legion
@@WorgenWorld Legion was tolerable, BfA was so shitty that it smells like shit. Yeah Blizzard was groudbreaking they invented videogames that smell... like shit.
Woah I'm new to this kind of metal and this is awesome!
So stoked to get my hands on this album!
That was....Absolutely amazing.
Finally back!!!!!
Reminds me of game of thrones or witcher 3 do not know probably cuz i always listen to it every time i play witcher 3 or just after watching game of thrones but either this album is awesome and in my opinion best album of 2015
If u buy the song - the quality is more than perfect!!!What more do u want for a uploaded video?
best band ever
Nuclear Blast Records I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM! Is this available as a ringtone yet?
No Ringtone as of yet. The Album will be out in January 30th!
There are a few apps on the Android market that allow you to make ringtones out of MP3s. If you wanted something like that I'd recommend trying it!
hell yea
+Nuclear Blast Records if a record more epic then this one is released my head might explode
My head would explode in a nuclear blast
Epic as always.
The best music!!!
Man, I love everything about this. :)
awesome song! can't wait for the full album
DELIVER YOUR GODS, THEY SHALL BE SLAIN!
I'm their fallen son, don't feel afraid!
Essa musica merecia um filme!
Blind Guardian still got it!
damn that was awesome. Get hype for the full release!
GOD OF HEAVEN, PERFECT SONG
This is just the first track off the album rushed through production to get something to the fans before the actual album is completed. I am sure final production for the new album will be 100% better I trust in the guardians of the blind.
I don't hear what everyone else is. Sounds perfectly fine to me. I think this album will be awesome, despite people being apparently way too picky about mixing. Mixing sounds great.
Amazing, this is a masterpiece.
Was this uploaded at a low bitrate or is the production really that bad?
apparently the former... The previously uploaded sample sounded much better... still very "dry", but better.
andersjaevel
It is the bitrate. This one will be replaced soon. The link should stay the same, though.
illuminati bands -nuclear blast-antychrist blue beam nice plans for people
to antychryst and falls gods first make falls aliens invasions from space by aliens greys and this look like aliens but people dont know true Greys aliens are bio robots control by illuminati than fall gods come like protectors falls protectors to offer defens this planety but only for that to take control on her
maybe you say to about Project blue beam to people
This sounds awesome can't wait for the north America release
So great song! I liked mostly the interlude after first chorus. I hope that the others songs will be beatiful than this ;)
Best song
3:55 sounds like "Shor is dead"....so Tamriel is Discordia? Oo
Esperen... Todavía faltan las demás canciones.
Si este tema es el de presentación del disco no quiero imaginar el resto!!, personalmente y en mi opinión creo que va a ser otra desilusión importante de una de mis bandas sagradas.

I read a post here saying they did this on purpose. Why? Only God and NB knows :)
Helloween - Twilight Of The Gods............ that s it!
That was outstanding!
classic! love it!
i like this band i need to take a 3rd chance to hear the new album i only listened this and the first song of the album
I downloaded the song from the Nuclear Blast website and it sounds sooooo much better. There is something wrong with this upload, it seems. Anyway, I can't wait for the album. :D
I just can't stop listening to this! It's just a master fucking piece!
_"A battle between God and mortal? Sounds exhilarating to me."_
This Album ties in very well with the Wheel of Time, I consider this Prophecy metal.
As songs they have made a decade ago, Tie into these Lyrics and Albume concept. It's actually quite amazing in my oppnion and i think they outdone themselves. They keep that same blind guardian sound and transform it to suit the content depending on what the concept originally was, Be it Lord of the Rings or Ancient Civilizations.
Of course not everyone is going to appreciate this, But just letting you know. I appreciate it.
Never heard lyrics that are this deliciously apocalyptic :D
