SCORPIONS – We Built This House [single] (2015)

*

Not too long ago, it looked like The SCORPIONS were ready to call it quits, but nearly two years after officially canceling their retirement, they are back with a new album: ‘Return To Forever’ will be released on Feb. 20, 2015.
The record will have 12 songs, with a Deluxe Edition containing four additional tracks, and will also be a Limited Collector’s Edition Box.
The album’s first single, “We Built This House“, finds the band reflecting on their 50-year history.

“In the end, it tells our story,” singer Klaus Meine says of the new song. “We’ve built this house called Scorpions brick by brick and often quite arduously. From the first days in Hannover, the first concerts abroad, until this very day.
We’ve weathered severe storms, but the house withstood everything, turned out to be wheatherproof and stable. However, building the house was never just cumbersome, but joyful as well. The joy of music, the joy of having experienced and still experiencing it all, the joy of – and the thankfulness for – the fans’ affection.
We have been working hard for this dream, but we’re thankful as well for having been able to live it, and for still being able to live it today.”

Despite some of the songs on the new album were partially composed in the early ’80s but never finished – mainly from the Blackout and Love At First Sting days – seems the new Scorpions will sound really modern.
“We Built This House” is a proof. It’s a very melodic song with a strong guitar riff, however very melodic in the ‘Scandinavian style’. Indeed, it pretty sounds like H.E.A.T or Brother Firetribe.
Not strange, as talented Swedish musicians and producers Mikael Nord Andersson & Martin Hansen are behind this new Scorpions record…
