Blind Guardian so na svoji strani objavili glasovanje za temo naslednjega albuma. Tako so lahko fani glasovali, o čem bodo pripovedovala besedila. Glasovanje je pokazalo, da si ljudje najbolj želijo poslušati zgodbe, ki temeljijo na novelah Dragonlance. Le-te so le za tri glasove prehitele nordijsko mitologijo.  /P.G./

Dragonlord, stranski projekt Erica Petersona (Testament) bodo kmalu izdali svoj prvenec. Glasba je čisto drugačna od Testament in naj bi bila nekakšna mešanica Dimmu Borgir in Emperor. /M.P./
