V2 Records (ENG) CELEBRATING A QUARTER CENTURY OF BLACKMORE’S NIGHT.25th ANNIVERSARY RE-MIXED EDITION OF THE MILESTONE DEBUT ALBUM “SHADOW OF THE MOON” Blackmore’s  Nigh twere  founded  in  1997  by  legendary  guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and award-winning lyricist and singer Candice Night to stage and explore their    love    for    traditional    Medieval    and    Folk-Rock    music.

Together, they created a band that like very few others is a prime example of truthfulness and creative integrity.

 The band’s debut album “Shadow Of The Moon” (1997) was  not  only Blackmore’s deliberate radical cut from his previous life as celebrated rockstar in Deep Purple and Rainbow; it was a ground-breaking 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 Blackmore’s Nightstand  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. Those who really understood Ritchie Blackmore ́s music in his rock years, could immediately find the essence of his greatness in Blackmore ́s Night, supported by lyrics that fit his music more than ever before. On March 10, 2023, the 25th Anniversary Edition of “Shadow Of The Moon” will be released  worldwide. 

The album was converted  in  HD  audio from  the original recording, and   it   has   been   fully   remixed,   allowing  the   original performance to shine in its original glory. The original iconic artwork has been refreshed and reworked to celebrate the anniversary. Two previously unreleased  acoustic recordings  will  be  part  of  this  reissue: “Spirit Of The Sea” and” Shadow Of The Moon”, both recorded in an intimate home session by Candice and Ritchie in 2022.
