Nuclear Blast Records has set a January 27, 2012 released date for "Memories Of A Time To Come", a compilation album from German power metallers BLIND GUARDIAN. The set, which will feature re-recorded and remixed songs from the band's entire discography, will reportedly be made available as a standard CD and a special three-CD deluxe edition (including the band's demo recordings when they were called LUCIFER'S HERITAGE).
BLIND GUARDIAN is currently collaborating with Germany's best fantasy author Markus Heitz on an orchestral album which is expected to be released in 2012.
