NUCLEAR BLAST is immensely proud to announce the addition of a new member to the family: BLIND GUARDIAN signed a long-term deal with NUCLEAR BLAST!

As singer Hansi Kürsch commented: “Our long search for the perfect record company has ended. We finally were lucky to find the ultimate home: NUCLEAR BLAST! We placed great emphasis on finding a partner that knows the world of Heavy Metal and does business in an unconventional manner if necessary. We expect a lot, and so do NUCLEAR BLAST – let's roll! The Guardian comes home!”

In other news, BLIND GUARDIAN amicably parted ways with founding drummer Thomen Stauch. An official statement explained that both parties have been moving in different directions for quite some time in their personal and musical development. A replacement for Thomen was not named yet. Kürsch promised that this will not cause any delay in the production of the next studio album, which is expected next year.
