http://www.blind-guardian.com y descubro que ha habido una separación. Cualquiera de los 4 sería una desgracia, ya que además de hacer una gran música, este grupo se caracterizaba por llevar desde el principio con la misma formación, cosa que aseguraba una gran unidad. Después de 20 años, el batería Thomen Stauch deja el grupo por diferencias musicales insalvables, al parecer con la última etapa del grupo. Parece que el grupo con el que lleva dos años, Savage Circus, promete. Os pego la carta de Hansi:
Hi there,
No news is good news. This obviously is bad news. After walking along the same musical paths for about 20 years and after several long, open and honest discussions between the four band members, we have all (including Thomen) come to the same conclusion that it is now best for Thomen to leave the band.
Since we developed different musical and personal directions for quite a while now, it turned out to be more and more difficult to find acceptable and suitable solutions for everyone in the band. Such circumstances would have eventually caused severe internal problems. Therefore, to avoid any damage to our close relationship this difficult step is essential. In terms of creativity or progression neither one of us would like to hold the other one back. Due to that fact the split seems to be a sad, but reasonable solution. We wish Thomen all the best for the future and hope to come up with more positive news in the near future.
…and day shall come again
