Marcus Siepen Discography of CDs

Marcus Siepen CD discography The 2012 double album Memories of a Time to Come is the first best-of compilation by German heavy metal group Blind Guardian, giving an overview of their output between their first album (Battalions of Fear from 1988) and their most recent (At the Edge of Time from 2010). The collection's 16 tracks have been remixed and, in three cases ("Valhalla," "And Then There Was Silence," and "Bard Song Hobbit"), even re-recorded. The album is also available as a deluxe digipak version with a 24-page booklet and a third CD containing bonus tracks and rarities, including the "Lucifer's Heritage" demos the group recorded in 1985 and 1986. ~ Christian Genzel Photographers: Axel Jusseit; Hans Martin Issler; Charly Rinne; Buffo Schnädelbach; Thorsten Eihchorst; Renate Olbrich; Kersten Preuáler; Jörg Schnebele.
