After hitting off the celebrations for their 25th anniversary with a fully remixed edition of their debut album "Shadow Of The Moon" in 2023, this year Candice and Ritchie continue with the worldwide release of a very special edition of their acclaimed 3rd studio album "
Fires At Midnight
". Originally released in July 2001. The album entered the Official German Album Charts at #9, making it Blackmore's Night's first record to hit the Top 10 Charts in Germany.
On this album, Blackmore's Night started incorporating electric guitar into their songs, alongside organic instruments like hurdy gurdies, shawms and harps. They had been touring for several years at this point and were playing concerts in castle courtyards, churches and theatres. One evening, when leaving a venue in the Czech Republic late at night, the idea for "Fires At Midnight" was born. "It was bonfire night, and we could just see all of these bonfires that were lit on the hillsides", Candice Night recalls, "and that inspired the idea of the song 'Fires At Midnight'".
