Sometimes you
just need a little bit of luck. Because
of a funny
coincidence the long lost original recordings from BONFIRE’s appearance at the
Wacken Open Air have been discovered. This almost historical piece
of music has
been sonically updated and will now be released officially.
The German rock
legend is releasing the album as a teaser before it’s new studio record ‐
planned
for the end of
the year. Of course, there
have been some
BONFIRE‐live records in the past,
but on „Live In
Wacken“ you can really
find different
versions of the
band’s anthems like
„SDI“, „Champion“ or „Ready 4 Reaction“ as well as the song „Wake Up“.
An anthem
the band hasn’t performed live for quite a long time.
Besides that
„Live In Wacken“ offers exclusive bonus tracks. Live versions of the songs
„Bells Of Freedom“, „Let Me Be Your Water“ and „Black Night“ from the acclaimed
rock opera „The Räuber“ (previously
unreleased on
CD), the exclusive studio track „Thank You“ and an
exciting new
version of the ballad „Hold Me Now“ from the last BONFIRE‐studio album
„Branded“.
„Live In Wacken“
has been mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Yngwie Malmsteen, Rob Halford, Queensryche)
and will
be released on the 31st of May 2013 on LZ
Records/Sony Music.
