Petition updateThe prophecy, it's a promise to us all: Set up a new Blind Guardian Open Air!

900 Signatures: Come along just follow me, we will meet the wizard

The past 50 signatures have taken a quite long time to gather, but there were interesting things going on:

The Podcast from the Twilight World interviewed me to my personal experinces with the BGOA in 2003 and the connection to this very petition. I tried to convert all those memories about how I became a fan of the band, how I experienced the festival itself and how the petition relates to this festival into sentences that are easy to understand for the audience. Turns out: Works fairly well in german, but seems to be quite demanding in english. If you wish, you will be able to see it here as soon as it airs. While watching keep in mind: I'm not a professional, just a fan. 

If you want to hear or see interviews with professionals, here are three recent editorial pieces:

Hansi Kürsch w/ The Metal Voice (English)

Andre Olbrich w/ Rafabasa (Spanish)

Hansi Kürsch w/ Sonic Perspectives (English)

All three give a glimpse into the the production of the Orchestral Album, the timelines for 2020 and beyond, and, yes, there a statements for a possible BG Festival / Event / Happening.

Whats next for the petition?
I will promote the petition until mid-December, and then cease the promotion. This will likeley cause the signatures to stall entirely. The petition will be of course kept alive and signable. From mid-December on I will start producing the letter that is to be sent to the band. This should come out quite nicely.

Now I propose that you lean back and enjoy the orchestral album that will be in stores by tomorrow.

My intention's good – unleash the beast,

Eike
