Latest Update March 02, 2009: Added the video for Sacred 2, specially encoded in 720p by Nick Kontaras.

Demo Material and Bonus Tracks:

• Lucifer's Heritage - Symphonies of Doom

• Demo album made by the band before they changed their name to Blind Guardian.

• Blind Guardian Demos and Bonus Tracks

• Demos from Battalions of Fear, Tales from the Twilight World, Somewhere Far Beyond, and Imaginations from the Other Side.

• Bonus Tracks from A Twist in the Myth

Harvest of Sorrow:

• Every Version of HoS

• All 6 versions of the song off of "And Then Then There Was Silence" and "A Night at the Opera"

• Plus a version with all of them together!

Live Outtakes:

• High Quality

• These were recorded at various shows on Blind Guardian's "A Night at the Opera" tour.

• They didn't make the cut for the live album, "Live," but were still released through the band's homepage.

Imaginations Through the Looking Glass:

• DVD Trailer

• Short clip promoting the Live DVD

Movie:

• Drei Schuesse im Leberknoedel
• "Three Shots in a Liver Dumpling" is the translation of the title. Don't ask, I have no idea either.
• Harlequin from the BG Forum says "I think it was a promotion action by VIVA for Blind Guardian and IFTOS. Markus, the king in the video, is a moderator of VIVA and they played the official Clips (like born in a mourning hall, Bright Eyes) and live videos of concerts. He also visited BG in their studio where they performed APAFS."
• Subtitles: If you want English subtitles, download THIS file and put it in the same directory as the movie. Then you must download THIS program to make the subtitles work in WinAmp and WMP and other popular players. When installing, make sure to uncheck the "Utilities" box, because you only need the plugin. After that, you're ready to go, just make sure that subtitles are turned on. Many thanks to Veged from the Forum for the English translation!

Music Videos:

• Sacred
• The video for the song written for Sacred 2. Use something like VLC or Media player Classic to play the MKV file. If you still can't play it, get FFDShow and install it.
