We find that the songs are still timeless.For years, genre filmmaker Mike Flanagan ( Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House, etc.) has been saying that his dream project would be an epic adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower saga. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed revisiting those early days. 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 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. Much has changed since those early days, but the magic of the music still shines as brightly as it did back then. “It’s hard to believe that 25 years have gone by since the snowy nights spent by the fireplace writing these songs.

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.

The original iconic artwork has been refreshed and reworked to celebrate the anniversary.

It encompasses everything that Blackmore’s 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. Shadow Of The Moon was a milestone album. 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. Together, they created a band that like very few others is a prime example of truthfulness and creative integrity.
