Axel Rudi Pell | RISEN SYMBOL Tour 2025
There’s no doubt about it: without Axel Rudi Pell, this world would be a much poorer place. On his 22nd (!) studio album “Risen Symbol”, the Bochum-based guitarist and songwriter continues to fly the flag of melodic hard rock without watering it down with pseudo-modern stylistic variations or gimmicky studio gimmicks. At the same time, he is constantly searching for new influences, exciting inspirations and catchy hooks.
The best thing about the ARP anthems: they are perfectly tailored to the charismatic voice of frontman Johnny Gioeli. The American is one of the best rock singers in the world and, together with Pell, former Rainbow drummer Bobby Rondinelli and the two long-time ARP members Ferdy Doernberg (keyboards) and Volker Krawczak (bass), has been a perfectly coordinated team for more than ten years, winning over fans and media alike.
“Risen Symbol” was released on June 14, 2024 via Steamhammer/SPV. For the impatient, there were two pre-release songs on April 3, 2024 with the first single ‘Guardian Angel’ and on May 22, 2024 with the follow-up “Darkest Hour”, which Pell aptly describes with the words: “Both “Guardian Angel” and “Darkest Hour” are typical ARP songs, but not necessarily representative of “Risen Symbol”.”
