The anniversary celebrations continue as Blackmores Night commemorate an extraordinary 25 years of enchanting audiences around the globe.
United by a shared passion for Renaissance and Folk-Rock traditions, legendary guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and award-winning lyricist and vocalist Candice Night founded Blackmores Night in 1997.
Since then, they have captivated listeners worldwide with their distinctive sound, which they define as Renaissance Folk-Rock - a unique genre inspired by the melodies and spirit of the Renaissance era, reimagined through a contemporary lens.

Their debut album, Shadow Of The Moon, released in 1997, quickly achieved gold status in Japan and garnered international acclaim.
It marked the beginning of a remarkable journey.
The album embodies everything Blackmores Night stands for: warm, melodic songs that celebrate lifes joys, invite listeners to dance, and offer moments of gentle reflection.

Now, the 25th Anniversary Edition of Shadow Of The Moon is available as a CD jewel case edition, featuring a fully remixed version of the original album and refreshed artwork.
This special release also includes two acoustic tracks - Spirit Of The Sea and Shadow Of The Moon recorded by Candice and Ritchie during an intimate home session in celebration of the bands anniversary.

What thrilled fans in 1997 continues to inspire today, as this anniversary edition rekindles the magic of Blackmores Nights timeless debut.
