Swiss hard rockers GOTTHARD will release their new album, "Firebirth", on
June 1 release via Nuclear Blast/Warner Music. The CD was produced at the
band's own Yellow House Studios in Lugano, Switzerland, with
guitarist/songwriter Leo Leoni and Paul Lani (who has previously worked with
GOTTHARD on several of their earlier albums, including "G-Spot" and
"Homerun") at the helm.
"Firebirth" marks GOTTHARD's first release with new singer Nic Maeder, who
was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, lived in Melbourne, Australia and grew up
between Switzerland and "Down Under."
"Firebirth" track listing:
01. Starlight
02. Give Me Real
03. Remember It's Me
04. Fight
05. Yippie Aye Yay
06. Tell Me
07. Shine
08. The Story Is Over
09. Right On
10. S.O.S.
11. Take It All Back
12. I Can
13. Where Are You? (dedicated to Steve Lee)
GOTTHARD vocalist Steve Lee was killed on October 5, 2010 in what has been
described as a freak road accident in Nevada.
The "Firebirth" album cover depicts the firebird Phoenix, which symbolically
rises "from the ashes to the sky" — this line expresses what each GOTTHARD
fan feels and underlines the turbulent time that GOTTHARD has gone through in
the past months.
Commented Leoni: "We are delighted with the new album. Songwriting with Nic
and Freddy was a real explosion of inspiration and new ideas! Regarding sound
and production, we have returned to our roots and we deliberately produced it
with a pure — and for GOTTHARD — typical sound. For us, 'Firebirth' is the
comeback album with the rating: back to basics!"
Added Marc Lynn: "Collaboration with Nic was unbelievable — it feels that we
have known each other forever and the euphoria in the band is now burning
like a new fire. It is a true rebirth of the zest of 20 years ago, when the
band took off 'to conquer the world.' Producing this album with the new
lineup was a real 'birth of fire' — we are very proud of our new baby."
GOTTHARD's first recording with Maeder, a song called "Remember It's Me", was
made available late last year as a free download via the GOTTHARD web site
and was met with a firestorm of enthusiasm and positive feedback.
Stated Maeder: "It was absolutely amazing to experience the positive feedback
from the GOTTHARD fans and the media after the release of 'Remember It's Me'.
Now I am looking forward to the reaction to our first album together. The
chemistry in the band feels fantastic and we are very much looking forward to
being onstage in a couple of weeks and rocking with the fans."
GOTTHARD's first live shows with Maeder will take place in May in South
America before the band makes several European festival appearances. The new
group's German live debut will take place on July 14 at the Bang Your Head!!!
festival in Balingen.
