Bonfire - 'Higher Ground' (official visualizer video)

Whispers of war
have knocked on my door
will you live will you die
who will cry for you
the will to survive
will you run, will you hide
no one’s by your side
in the darkness
lost in mystery
pick up the pieces and try to move on
never give up

On the way
to salvation
lead us to higher ground
on the way
to be free again
lead us to higher ground

Darkness shines
in desperate times
now you see, now you hear
now you live in fear
you fight for your life
through the screams
your worst dreams
have come true for you
through the ashes
falling all around
you pick up the pieces
and try to move on
never give up

On the way
to salvation
lead us to higher ground
on the way
to be free again
lead us to higher ground

Solo

in the darkness
lost in mystery
pick up the pieces and try to move on
never give up

On the way
to salvation
lead us to higher ground
on the way
to be free again
lead us to higher ground

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). Το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα του Γερμανικού σχήματος φέρει τον τίτλο "Higher Ground", αποτελείται από ένδεκα τραγούδια (δέκα νέα συν μία επανεκτέλεση στο "Rock 'n' Roll Survivor) και κυκλοφόρησε σήμερα (24 Ιανουαρίου 2024) μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Frontiers Music srl.

Ακούμε (και στο μουσικό βίντεο του τραγουδιού "Higher Ground") 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.»
