Blind Guardian Reveal Tracklisting, Tour Dates

Blind Guardian frontman Hansi Kürsch checks in:

"Not a lot to tell, as usual. We travel, work, travel, and need to find sleep on the plane. The first warm up shows and the Promo Tour in Europe have been very enjoyable and this weekend we are going to do a video shoot for 'Another Stranger Me' in Belgrad/Serbia. I think this will be the first BG video clip worth watching. The storyboard is really creepy and I am anxious to see how it will finally turn out. Apart from that, we headline two festivals in Spain: Jerez (July 29) and Gernika (July 30) and do lots of promotion in between. I will tell you more once there is more to tell..."
