Bonfire - Live At Waacken (LZ Records / Sony)

Well it is a fact!!! The long lost original recordings from Bonfire’s appearance at the Wacken Open Air have been discovered.So there is chance for all of us who have not witnessed this band's magic on the stage of Wacken, to finally grab the music captured on CD, brought to you to the best possible sound quallity.

The German rock legend is releasing the album as a teaser before it’s new studio record ‐ planned for the end of the year. Of course, there have been some Bonfire live records in the past, but on "Live In Wacken“ you can really find different versions of the band’s anthems like "SDI“, "Champion“ or "Ready 4 Reaction“ as well as the song "Wake Up“. An anthem the band hasn’t performed live for quite a long time.

Besides that "Live In Wacken“ offers exclusive bonus tracks. Live versions of the songs "Bells Of Freedom“, "Let Me Be Your Water“ and "Black Night“ from the acclaimed rock opera "The Räuber“ (previously unreleased on CD), the exclusive studio track "Thank You“ and an exciting new version of the ballad "Hold Me Now“ from the last Bonfire studio album „Branded“.

I must point that the live versions of the songs included on this CD sound fantastic. The band performs with power and passion presenting their classic with a little more twist, yes just the way every live version of a song should be!

 Another positive fact in this release is the great sound. Crystal clear and heavy bringing the live atmosphere straight on your stereo. "Live In Wacken“ has been mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Yngwie Malmsteen, Rob Halford, Queensryche).

To sum things up we got a great live release from a classic band. Grab it ASAP!
