Fires at Midnight is the third studio album by British-American neo-medieval folk rock band Blackmore's Night, released on July 10, 2001, through SPV/Steamhammer Records. In comparison to their previous two releases, there are more electric guitar parts on this album, whilst maintaining a folk rock direction. The album was a Top Ten record in Germany.[1]
In December 2001, Fires At Midnight was a finalist on the New Age Voice award for the best vocal album of the year.[2] In 2004 the album went Gold in the Czech Republic.[3]
The album was one of the 10 international bestsellers in Russia during the Autumn of 2001. The single "Times They Are A Changin" stayed in the Russian top 20 Hits for over 9 weeks.[4]
It featured the singles "The Times They Are a Changin'", "Home Again" and "All Because of You".
In 2024 a new deluxe edition was released on earMUSIC/Edel as 2CD and LP. The reissue continues the celebration of over 25 years of activity for the band, which started with the remixed reissue of the debut album “Under A Violet Moon”. All songs have been remixed from the original multi-tracks recording by Eike Freese at Chameleon Studios in Hamburg. For the occasion, two bonus tracks were added, both featuring new vocal parts by Candice Night: "Written in the Stars" and the title track "Fires at Midnight"
