PINK CREAM 69 - New Album Samples Available
December 12, 2012, 11 years ago
German melodic rockers PINK CREAM 69 will release their eleventh studio album, Ceremonial, on January 22nd in North America and January 25th in Europe. Check out audio samples from the album below:
Ceremonial is PC69’s second studio effort for Frontiers Records and also the first album with their new drummer Chris Schmidt. Recorded partially at Hofa Studios and mixed at Dennis Ward’s private studio - The TrakShak - the band really made the best of their time.
“The songs had to be 100% ready and we took all the necessary time,” states bass player and producer Dennis Ward. “This gaves us the possibility to experiment and to achieve the best possible result.” And indeed, the explosive, energetic opening track 'Land Of Confusion', the contemporary rocking 'Wasted Years', the biographic 'I Came To Rock' the heavily '90s-influenced 'Find Your Soul' or the soulful “Passage” are all new, bright and shining diamonds in a discography full of highlights and hits.“We deliberately called the album Ceremonial because we feel it’s kind of a celebration of music styles we all grew up with, regardless of what PC69 has done in the past,” continues Ward.
“There were various projects that I was involved in over the last couple of years,” adds singer David Readman. “But the work on Ceremonial felt like coming home. A real relief.”
The cover artwork was created by Kai Brockschmidt (PRETTY MAIDS, ROYAL HUNT), and can be seen below:
