Bonfire - 'I Will Rise' (official music video)

We Run
A race no one wins
led by desires and sins
Living
the condition within
slowly the world stops it’s spin

Breakdown these walls beside me here
Cause I’m only human
breakdown these reigns that
bind me here
Were all only human

I will rise
but I can’t breathe
on the edge
and I keep holding on
to the dreams
oh oh oh oh
I’m Alive

We live inside our own dreams
Sometimes it’s not what it seems
Falling
And still we go on
Tell me what does it mean

Breakdown these walls beside me here
Cause I’m only human
breakdown these reigns that
bind me here

I will rise
but barely breathing
on the edge
and I’m still holding on
to the dreams
oh oh oh oh
I will rise
I will rise
I will rise

Οι Bonfire μας έρχονται από την Γερμανία. Δημιουργήθηκαν το μακρινό 1972 ως Cacumen (με δισκογραφικό απολογισμό ένα single, δύο albums και ένα ep) και το 1986 -κατόπιν προτροπής της δισκογραφικής τους εταιρείας και του manager της μπάντας- άλλαξαν το όνομά τους σε Bonfire.

Δραστήρια δισκογραφικά μπάντα με (ουσιαστικά 19, τυπικά) 23 "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους στο ενεργητικό της (συν επτά live albums, τέσσερις συλλογές και πάρα πολλά singles).

Πέρυσι ήταν η χρονιά των επανηχογραφήσεων των τριών πρώτων δίσκων των Bonfire ("Don't Touch the Light MMXXIII", "Fireworks MMXXIII", "Point Blank MMXXIII"), ενώ φέτος επανέρχονται με νέο υλικό. Μετά το single "I Died Tonight" ακολουθεί το "I Will Rise".

Τα δύο singles προετοιμάζoyn το έδαφος για το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα του Γερμανικού σχήματος, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "Higher Ground", αποτελείται από ένδεκα τραγούδι (δέκα νέα συν μία επανεκτέλεση στο "Rock 'n' Roll Survivor) και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει την αυγή του νέου έτους (24 Ιανουαρίου 2024) μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Frontiers Music srl.

Ακούμε (και παρακολουθούμε) τον Hans Ziller (κιθάρα), τον Dyan Mair (φωνητικά), τον Frank Pané (κιθάρα), τον Ronnie Parkes (μπάσο) και τον Fabio Alessandrini (τύμπανα)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Legendary German hard rockers Bonfire strikes back with the brand new album"Higher Ground". Bonfire are one of the most seminal German hard rock bands of the past fifty years. Originally founded as Cacumen in 1972 by guitarist Hans Ziller in Ingolstadt, Germany, the group initially played local venues, steadily building a fan base before releasing their first album under the name Cacumen.

In 1986, the band rebranded as Bonfire, and their debut album as Bonfire, “Don't Touch the Light”, marked their international breakthrough. They followed it up with “Fireworks” in 1987, which further cemented their status in the rock and metal scene.

Despite their success, Bonfire experienced several lineup changes, including the departure of key members. However, Ziller, the band’s driving force, kept Bonfire alive, continuously adapting to the challenges faced by the group.

In the 1990s, Bonfire briefly disbanded but returned in 1996, with Ziller reclaiming the rights to the band’s name. Since then, Bonfire has released numerous albums and maintained a strong presence on the international rock scene.

Bonfire has remained a resilient force in hard rock, continuing to tour and release new material well into the 21st century. During their most successful phase with album classics such as “Don’t Touch The Light” (1986), “Fireworks”(1987) and “Point Blank” (1989), the group -alongside the Scorpions and Accept- counted among the three most popular German acts on a global basis, including triumphal accomplishments throughout Europe and overseas, celebrated tours alongside Judas Priest and ZZ Top, gold records, high chart positions, TV appearances and more than 35 million YouTube views of their hit “You Make Me Feel” alone.

The band’s trademarks continue to be and always have been deeply melodic hard rock songs, driven by captivating guitar parts, grooving rhythms and haunting vocal melodies. To this day, band founder/guitarist Hans Ziller and his exceptional group regularly awe their fans with new releases and impressive shows.

“Higher Ground” is a new life chapter for Bonfire and the very first release under the wings of Frontiers Records.»
