Perso j'aime pas trop celle de NATO mais c'est vrai que y a de l'amélioration par rapport à la premiere epoque ; )
Prochain album prevu pour avril-mai 2006 avec un petit passage en France peut être (plz plz plz :!!!)
Sinon pour les vrais connaisseurs, vous n'êtes pas sans savoir que Thomen Stauch à quitté le groupe pour des divergences musicales...
Il a ete remplace la semaine derniere apres 6 mois de recherches par un jeune batteur peu connu mais extremement doué parait il (bon choix je pense plutot que de prendre un mec deja dans un autre groupe, un jeune mec super motivé s'impliquera à fond)

Hi bards,
This time it fortunately is on me to deliver some good news. Very good news in fact!
The seemingly endless time of waiting for a new drummer and speculations who could possibly be the new one has finally come to an end. We have found what we have been searching for…
A few weeks ago an unknown guy who introduced himelf as Frederik Ehmke applied for the job as a drummer in a fairly firm manner. His vital, expressive and skillful performances of some B.G. classics ("Journey Through The Dark“, "Time Stands Still“ and "And Then There Was Silence“) blew us away completely . Pretending not to be convinced we invited him to do a shoot out recording session under real production terms to check out if the creative chemistry would also work out fine. After finishing these recordings it was obvious to us: Frederik is going to be our new drummer!
It was essential for us to find a musician, who on one side would be able to integrate old Guardian trademarks in his play, but on the other side would also be confident enough to bring in his own vision of the Blind Guardian drums in a tasteful and, for the music, suitable way. Frederik is a calm and handsome fellow, who’s aware of his abilities and who also knows what he wants. For us he is the lucky draw.
We are convinced you will be as impressed by his drum performance as we are. Now we are looking forward to starting the next album production. There is a good amount of work ahead of us but we are absolutely ready to go. You can expect a very interesting album with strong songs on it. We will keep you informed.
Later,
Hansi
D'ailleurs le site du groupe vient d'être refait et il est trés sympa : )
