Risen Symbol

• Track Listing

FOR FANS OF: Scorpions, Deep Purple, Dio, Whitesnake, Rainbow, MSG

No doubt about it: The world would be a much poorer place without Axel Rudi Pell. On his 22nd (!) studio album 'Risen Symbol', the Bochum-based

guitarist and songwriter continues to fly the melodic hard rock flag without watering down his style with pseudo-modern stylistic variations or

expendable studio gimmicks. At the same time, he is constantly looking for new influences, exciting inspirations and catchy hooks. One of the best

things about ARP's anthems is that they are perfectly tailored to the charismatic voice of frontman Johnny Gioeli. The American vocalist is one of the

most eminent rock singers worldwide and, together with Pell, former Rainbow drummer Bobby Rondinelli, and the two longstanding ARP members

Ferdy Doernberg (keyboards) and Volker Krawczak (bass), has been an integral part of a perfectly oiled machine for more than ten years, wowing fans

and media alike. 'Risen Symbol' will be available on Steamhammer/SPV from 14 June 2024. For all those who can't wait, 3 April 2024 will see the

arrival of the lead single 'Guardian Angel', featuring two pre-release songs, followed on 22 May 2024 by 'Darkest Hour'. Pell comments: "Both

'Guardian Angel' and 'Darkest Hour' are typical ARP songs, though not necessarily representative of 'Risen Symbol'."
