From Loudersound.
Scorpions have announced a new studio album, Rock Believer, and accompanying tour dates. And Mikkey Dee, the former Motorhead drummer now powering the German hard rock veterans, has posted footage of the group rehearsing new material.
Rock Believer, the band’s 19th studio album, is scheduled for release on February 11, 2022. And the band say a first taster of their new material, lead-off single Peacemaker, will premiere on October 21.
The album, the group’s first since 2015’s Return To Forever, has been talked up by vocalist Klaus Meine as a return to “the old vibe from albums like Blackout, Love At First Sting or even Lovedrive“: no outside writers were involved, with the album largely composed of Rudolf Schenker/Meine co-writes.
“We recorded the album as a band live in one room,” Meine adds, “like we did in the ’80s.” It was largely recorded at Peppermint Park Studios in Hannover and mixed at Berlin‘s legendary Hansa Studios.
The group will launch their Rock Believer world tour in Las Vegas in March 2022, with nine gigs at the Zappos Theater. European dates kick off in Lisbon, Portugal on May 10 and run through to July 2, in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Wolfgang Van Halen’s band, Mammoth WVH, will support at select European shows.
Drummer Mikkey Dee has posted rehearsal studio footage of the band running through new material ahead of their return to the stage.
