Saltatio Mortis and Blind Guardian release the English version of its title track “Darkenguard”

Fans around the globe asked for it and Saltatio Mortis delivers: To celebrate the stellar success of their #1 album „Finsterwacht” Saltatio Mortis finally release the English version of its title track “Darkenguard” featuring Blind Guardian and the Prague Symphony Orchestra.

“Darkenguard” is an almost-9-minute piece of epicness and Fantasy storytelling, complemented by the cinematic masterpiece that is its music video. Driven by the unique voice of Hansi Kürsch and the atmospheric energy of Prague Symphony Orchestra „Darkenguard" is now ready to defeat orc hordes around the world.

Singer Alea adds: “We have been huge fans of Blind Guardian and Hansi Kürsch throughout the years. Having him sing ‘Darkenguard’ in his preferred singing language, which is English, is an honour and a dream come true! ‘Finsterwacht’ has already been a landslide victory for us in German-speaking territory. Now here comes ‘Darkenguard’ to take this even further!”
