An album title that fits perfectly in two respects: “Silver Romance” is the name of the latest release by southern German melodic power metal act Freedom Call.
The moniker not only stands for the band’s 25th anniversary – referred to by singer/guitarist and band founder Chris Bay tongue-in-cheek as “our silver wedding anniversary” – but also applies to the content of the recording: “Qualities such as clarity, freedom and lightness are attributed to silver as a precious metal”, explains Bay, adding: “‘Silver Romance’ is also said to strengthen your self-confidence and imagination. These are all features that also suit Freedom Call and that we’ve incorporated into our new material, both musically and lyrically”,
Chris Bay and bandmates Lars Rettkowitz (guitar), Francesco Ferraro (bass) and Ramy Ali (drums), the latter having returned from a private hiatus, have recorded more than a dozen new tracks for “Silver Romance”. Without giving too much away: The result is the most diverse and colourful album in the band’s history to date.
“Silver Romance” will be available on CD and for digital download on Steamhammer/SPV from May 10th, 2024, and Bay and Co. are set to start their 2024 concert activities only a few days later. To ease the wait until then, four lead singles will be out ahead of the album release, starting from February 21st with the title track “Silver Romance”, including a making-of video, followed by “In Quest of Love” and “High Above” on March 20th and April 10th, both of them complete with lyric clips. Two days before the album’s arrival, on May 8th, 2024, new single “Supernova” will be released, supported by a superb video, round off the quartet of singles.
Watch the video for the new single “Silver Romance” below.
“Silver Romance” will be released on May 10, 2024 worldwide through SPV/Steamhammer as CD digipak, 2LP gatefold version, download and stream here.
