Scorpion's Rock Believer description details  

180g 1LP Black Vinyl. The Scorpions have announced a new album for February 2022, followed by a world tour. "Rock Believer" is the 19th Studio work by the German rock legends and the first new material since »Return To Forever« from 2015.

Six years later, the corona pandemic ensured that the band withdrew to the studio in their hometown of Hanover and began working on new songs. Originally, the Patte was supposed to be produced in Los Angeles, together with Greg Fidelman, who was already behind the controls for bands like Metallica, Slayer, Black Sabbath or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Due to the lockdown, we finally went to the Peppermint Park Studio in Hanover, where Fidelman participated via video. However, the majority of the production was done by the band themselves, together with engineer Hans-Martin Buff. We then went to the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin to see sound engineer Michael Ilbert for the mixing.

“The album has the Scorpions DNA, the Schenker/Meine compositions form the core,” says frontman Klaus Meine, and goes on to explain why the new songs have the freshness and power of the 80s Scorpions albums: “As a band, we’re all in played in a room and recorded the songs - just like we did back in the 80s. We can't wait to get back in action and play for our fans again."

The Scorpions recorded eleven songs for it, each a lyrical short story, minimal poems in prose, presented in an opulent soundtrack, with the character of the Scorpions in the early 1980s, but in the fresh production coat of the 2020s. The resources of the career years have become an overflowing pool that builds the bridge from yesterday to tomorrow. "Rock Believer" has become perhaps the Scorpions' most distinctive album. The work of a band at the peak of their musical art.

'Rock Believer' is also the first album to feature former Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee, who joined in 2016 after the end of his own group. The rest of the band consists of Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (guitar), Matthias Jabs (guitar) and Pawel Maciwoda (bass), who incidentally, unlike the previous ones, wrote the album completely without the support of other songwriters.

Scorpions revealed how the new record sounds in November with the single »Peacemaker«, about which Meine said: »The first thing that came to mind was the hook line. ›Peacemaker, peacemaker / Bury the undertaker‹. I was just playing around with those words. At a time when so many people have died and are still dying from Covid, devastating wars and other senseless crimes, it feels like the undertaker has to be working overtime. In a peaceful post-pandemic world, it will be time for the Peacemaker to rule… that's an image I like.”
