CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF BLACKMORES NIGHTBlackmores Night were founded in 1997 by legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and awardwinning lyricist and singer Candice Night to stage and explore their love for traditional Medieval and FolkRock music. Together, they created a band that like very few others is a prime example of truthfulness and creative integrity. The bands debut album Shadow Of The Moon 1997 was not only Blackmores deliberate radical cut from his previous life as celebrated rockstar in Deep Purple and Rainbow it was a groundbreaking statement of his artistic ideals mainly acoustic music, influenced by the songs of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance with a touch of genius that made them sound contemporary. Shadow Of The Moon was a milestone album. It encompasses everything that Blackmores Night stand for to this day beautiful melodies and warm atmospheres that are able to reach the soul as well as joyful songs to dance to and to celebrate. Its hard to believe that 25 years have gone by since the snowy nights spent by the fireplace writing these songs. Much has changed since those early days, but the magic of the music still shines as brightly as it did back then. We feel truly blessed to have been able to bring these songs to the world, and do so again, in this remixed reissue proving they truly do stand the test of time. For 25 years we have graced historical venues stages worldwide and now we are able to revisit again, with you, this beautiful version of Shadow Of The Moon . We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed revisiting those early days. We find that the songs are still timeless… Candice Night amp Ritchie Blackmore Blackmore’s Night T-Shirt is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £22 +P&P
