Blind Guardian put out new video for latest single

With Blind Guardian's latest album The God Machine now available everywhere, the German power metal group has now released a music video supporting their latest single "Life Beyond the Spheres."

Guitarist André Olbrich said the inspiration for the new single came from a video game:

"I'm a big supporter of innovation, to bring the whole music genre forward to something else. Maybe even find something new that wasn't there before, I think with 'Life Beyond the Spheres,' I knew I wanted to go somewhere in the soundtrack direction. At that time, I was playing Cyberpunk, so my inspiration was somewhat cyberpunkish. I tried to bring in a metal soundtrack in a cyberpunk direction, more spacey than we ever did before. Hansi grabbed that feeling and I think now we have a song we never did before, not even close to that genre. I like that, that is a very innovative song, I'm proud of this too."

Singer Hansi Kürsch also had a few things to say:

"'Life Beyond the Spheres' leads us to spaces unknown and places where no man has gone before. It certainly delivers music that is not from this world. There is always hope. This is what the song means to me."
