German guitar wizard, Axel Rudi Pell, has released "Gone With The Wind", a new digital single and visualizer. The song is taken from the upcoming studio album, Lost XXIII, which comes out next Friday, April 15.
Axel Rudi Pell: "'Gone With The Wind' is one of the best and most emotional ballads I ever wrote. Lyrically it's about a dog who waits for his owner at the train station to return from work. Unfortunately, his owner died during work. The dog waits for more than 1 year at the station, never realizing that his master will never return. It's a true story actually!"
Lost XXIII will see an April 15 release via SPV/Steamhammer. The album was produced by Axel Rudi Pell, mixed by Tommy Geiger, mastered by Ulf Horbelt, and the mysterious cover artwork was once again designed by Thomas Ewerhard (Gotthard, Edguy, Sons Of Apollo, among others). The ARP band will embark on another major tour in spring and autumn 2022.
