Eagerly awaited by the fans, delivered on schedule by the ARP band: The new album ‘Lost XXIII’ by Bochum guitarist, songwriter and bandleader AXEL RUDI PELL will be released on April 15, 2022. It includes ten brand new songs (plus intro) and will be released as digipack, CD, vinyl double album, strictly limited box set and in digital format. ‘Lost XXIII’ is Pell’s 21st studio work and will be released - like all previous albums of his 33-year solo career - on Steamhammer / SPV.The first single ‘Survive’ will be released on February 18, 2022, a deep melodic Hard Rock number with a guitar riff characteristic of PELL and a great melody as usual: “I’m sure that my fans will get exactly the song, on that they have been waiting for. ‘Survive’ is typical of the ARP band and is carried by the great voice of our singer Johnny Gioeli.”
Speaking of which: the ARP band will continue to consist of Johnny Gioeli, bassist Volker Krawczak, keyboardist Ferdy Doernberg and drummer Bobby Rondinelli (ex-Rainbow) in 2022, a perfectly oiled hard rock machine that routinely implements PELL’s compositions and at the same time refines them with their own trademarks. This also applies to the second single ‘Down On The Streets’, which will be released on March 25, 2022. “THIN LIZZY could also have had a hand in this,” explains PELL with a wink and adds: “The lyrics are about the hard life on the street.”
‘Lost XXIII’ was produced by AXEL RUDI PELL, Tommy Geiger mixed, the disc was mastered by Ulf Horbelt, the mystical cover artwork is again by Thomas Ewerhard (including GOTTHARD, EDGUY, SONS OF APOLLO). In spring and autumn 2022, the ARP band will be on a big tour again.
