Scorpionsin Klaus Meine: ”Tällä kertaa keskitymme raskaampiin kappaleisiin”
Raskaan rockin veteraanin Scorpionsin laulaja Klaus Meine on hiljattain antanut haastattelun Talking Metalille, jossa on paljastanut saksalaisen yhtyeen keskittyvän raskaampaan tuotantoon tulevalla, toistaiseksi nimeämättömällä albumillaan. Laulaja on myös kertonut bändin yrittävän luoda alkupään tuotannon albumien, kuten ”Blackout” tai ”Love At First Sting” – jopa ”Lovedrive” – tunnelmaa tulevalle albumilleen. Klaus kertoi bändin tulevasta albumista seuraavaa:
”We hooked up with [producer] Greg Fidelman — he used to work with METALLICA and SLIPKNOT — so we’re right on our way bringing the old vibe from albums like ’Blackout’, ’Love At First Sting’ or even ’Lovedrive’. We try to focus on those albums and this attitude. If we get there, who knows — it’s so many years later. But it’s the spirit and it’s the whole vibe around this album. To start with, it’s crazy enough to say, ’Let’s make a new record.’ It’s quite a challenge after all these years. While most other artists say, ’Okay, we put out a couple of [standalone] songs,’ like the way we did it with [the recently released single] ’Sign Of Hope’, that’s good enough. But we said, ’No.’ We go the old-fashioned way and make a whole new album.
And this time, the focus is on the harder songs. ’Sign Of Hope’ is like a real short, sweet and nice ballad, just reflecting this moment in time. But the album will be more on the harder edge. Thankfully, we started writing last year already, and we picked it up after the tour this year, and there’s lots and lots of material. Fortunately, and I’ll tell you, it’s such a privilege and it’s a blessing, in this very, very difficult situation we all go through with the coronavirus, it’s a blessing we can do something. We go into the studio, work on new songs, new material and really take a deep dive into the creative world and create something new. It’s wonderful.”
