Blind Guardian have dropped a video for their new single “Violent Shadows.” The track is taken from their new album, The God Machine, out September 2nd via Nuclear Blast. 

Vocalist Hansi Kürsch comments:

“Since our WWW Virtual Wacken Performance, ‘Violent Shadows’ threw a massive, already overpowering shade on the expectations of The God Machine. We were pretty aware of the effects that the number would develop. The message is quite clear in my opinion: We’re able to go straightforward! With the single release, you get a very concise impression of the album’s precision and intensity. Just one more thing: Everybody who thinks that the wait for the remaining five songs isn’t worth it, is completely wrong! Every single song is a firework and shines even brighter in context. Remember my words, enjoy ‘Violent Shadows’, and pre-order The God Machine. Today, September 2nd’s already yesterday.”
