Kissin’ Dynamite announce new album ‘Not The End Of The Road’
KISSIN’ DYNAMITE have announced a new album!
Titled Not The End Of The Road, the upcoming album from the German hard rock/heavy metal band is the follow-up to 2018’s Ecstasy, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, making their label debut at new home Napalm Records.
The new studio album was produced, recorded and mixed by vocalist Hannes Braun (Südland Music) himself, who has also worked with bands like SANTIANO, THE KELLY FAMILY and BEYOND THE BLACK. Mastering was completed by Grammy Award winning producer Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, known for his work with bands like VOLBEAT and many more.
Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Ande Braun says, “Not The End Of The Road is an album, which accurately describes our experiences as a band since Ecstasy 2018. First and foremost, we highlight with songs like Not The End Of The Road, What Goes Up, Yoko Ono and Only The Dead: We’re up for it, we’re pulling together and we want to reach the rock Olympus! Titles like Coming Home, Gone For Good and Scars, on the other hand, deal with real feelings like loneliness, homesickness and sadness, which are also part of life.”
Vocalist Hannes Braun adds, “with Ecstasy we already didn’t make any compromises and just wanted to compose music that speaks from us. Not The End Of The Road seamlessly picks up exactly here.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; the title-track Not The End Of The Road. Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “the song is bursting with positive energy, joie de vivre and good vibes. Thematically, it’s about never giving up and instead always moving on. Thus, the song hits the current zeitgeist like no other. We had to deal with the separation from our long-time founding member, drummer and friend Andi Schnitzer, as well as the drastic time of the lockdown and want to make unmistakably clear that we want to continue against all odds, and that we are stronger than ever. The decision for the new band member on drums, Sebastian Berg, was anything but easy for the group. From over 100 international applications received, seven aspirants were put through their paces in the course of a live audition.”
