After last year's triumphant return to the stage in the form of their 'Somewhere Far Beyond Tour' across Germany, the breathtaking story of BLIND GUARDIAN's latest masterpiece The God Machine goes on. The metal legends are proud to announce 'The God Machine' North American 2024 tour.

The 22-date trek will commence on April 18th at The Fillmore in Silver Springs and will make its way to Dallas, Seattle, and Toronto before the final performance at Milwaukee Metal Fest on May 17th. Joining the band as support is NIGHT DEMON.

BLIND GUARDIAN is thrilled to be able to finally present some of their new songs to their fans, showcasing the likes of astounding tracks "Deliver Us From Evil", "Violent Shadows" and introducing them to the "Secrets of the American Gods".

Vocalist Hansi Kursch states: "We heard your calls! We are more than just thrilled to finally announce that highly anticipated North American run of shows. Let me tell you that the band will be on fire and that we are very grateful to have a fantastic opening band such as NIGHT DEMON on our side to bring the full Metal blast to your town. I recommend not to miss this chance, we will perform Beyond Imagination. You don't want to see it, you have to see it! The God Machine is in sole and full magic mode."

General admission tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday, December 1st at 10 AM local time.

The God Machine marks another pinnacle in Blind Guardian's impressive discography by not attempting to pretend that it is still the nineties, yet successfully relying on the muscle memory of this period. It is a gripping, addictive, and brilliantly arranged album in the tradition of records with which BLIND GUARDIAN reached for the stars in the 90s; yet, by no means is it a throwback. The God Machine represents the heart and soul of BLIND GUARDIAN's timeless metal in the here and now, unifying the bards' past, present, and future secrets in one consistent, well-thought-out masterpiece.

In 1992, BLIND GUARDIAN released Somewhere Far Beyond, a legendary milestone of modern speed metal. Three decades later, their latest offering, The God Machine, demonstrates how to awaken the fury of youth to a magical new life. As if they had paid a long overdue visit to the numerous highlights of their career,BLIND GUARDIAN appears to be in touch with the ghosts of their past more than ever.

Seven years after Beyond The Red Mirror and almost three after the orchestral opus Blind Guardian Twilight Orchestra: Legacy of the Dark Lands, Hansi Kursch (vocals), Andre Olbrich (lead guitar, acoustic guitar, rhythm guitar), Marcus Siepen (rhythm guitar and acoustic guitar) and Frederik Ehmke (drums) invite you to their personal twilight of the gods.
