AXEL RUDI PELL Announces Title For 'Covers' CD

March 28, 2007

German guitar hero AXEL RUDI PELL has set "Diamonds Unlocked" as the title of his upcoming "covers" album, due in September/October via SPV Records. Recording sessions for the effort will begin on April 2.

Commented Pell: "We will record 11 songs, ten cover versions and one self-written intro. I saw a few song suggestions from the fans here in the guestbook. But this will be a record containing songs which haven't been covered much. Also it is not my intention to record songs from other 'real' metal bands (with one or two exceptions),because the songs are already 'metal.' We wanna show how songs from other music genres could sound when a hard rock or classic rock band is covering 'em. That doesn't mean that the record will be strange sounding....no way! It will be typically AXEL RUDI PELL-ish and you'll not be disappointed, believe me!"

Upcoming AXEL RUDI PELL shows:

May 26 - Helmond, Netherlands @ Plato (with MAD MAX)
May 27 - Gelsenkirchen, Germany @ Rock Hard Festival
June 07 - Sölvesborg, Sweden @ Sweden Rock Festival
June 08 - Flensburg, Germany @ Roxy

AXEL RUDI PELL's latest CD, "Mystica", entered the German national chart at position No. 27. It also debuted on the Swedish chart at position No. 56. The CD was co-produced/engineered by Charlie Bauerfeind and features artwork by Colombian illustrator Felipe Machado Franco.
