Hannover, Germany (rushprnews) April 27, 2007- A 14-minute EPK (electronic press kit), featuring interviews with SCORPIONS members Klaus Maine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (guitar) and Matthias Jabs (guitar), along with producer Desmond Child (AEROSMITH, BON JOVI), about the German hard rockers’ upcoming album, “Humanity – Hour 1”, has been posted online at this location (Windows Media).
35 years after the release of their debut CD “Lonesome Crow”, the SCORPIONS have reached another creative peak of their impressive career. Proof will arrive on May 25, when the band’s 21st album is officially released.
Schenker: “There are many people who say the classic idea of a concept album is dead. We do not think so, and will once again swim against the stream.”
Jabs: “Desmond is a fabulous visionary who took us to musical levels we had never reached before.”
Meine: “‘Humanity – Hour I’ is a mature album, with lyrics that are often provocative and deal with the dark sides of the world we live in. At the same time though, we are sending our fans a positive musical message, telling them to not let the insanity going on around us every day get them down.”
Jabs: “We have delivered a strong body of work over the years and are more confident than ever.”
Meine: “The new album will feature the great power-rock ballads, of course, but we have been and we remain a rock band, and people who go for hard but melodic songs will love this album.”
Audio samples of all 12 songs that are set to appear on the forthcoming SCORPIONS album, “Humanity – Hour 1”, are now available at the website of the German online retailer Weltbild.de. The “Humanity – Hour 1” artwork has been posted online at this location.
