Freedom Call: 'Land of the Crimson Dawn'

German melodic metallers Freedom Call will release their new album, 'Land of the Crimson Dawn', on February 24 in Germany, February 27 in the rest of Europe and February 28 in the USA/Canada via SPV/Steamhammer.

Commented Freedom Call singer/guitarist Chris Bay: "We started in the beginning of September to record the first tracks for the new album. The band was working the past months intensely creative and did a fantastic job! Now we're happy and satisfied with the result and will finish the recordings in the next days!!

The new studio album will include 14 full-valued songs and some very special bonus tracks.

A new world, a new dimension full of attraction, fascination and illusions. Let us travel together, far beyond in any power of imagination, through the Valley of the Crimson Dawn, an illuminating part of the glorious Land of Light. Immerse into the world of craft to fight, to enjoy the excitement to survive or surrender. Always on the edge to reality..."

Freedom Call's last album, 'Legend of the Shadowking', came out in 2010. The CD was based on the story of King Ludwig II and charted in Sweden and Finland. In February/March 2010 Freedom Call embarked on a huge European tour together with Gamma Ray and in May 2010 with Axel Rudi Pell. Afterwards they played over 40 gigs on festivals and as a headliner. After nearly 15 years of existence and approximately 200,000 albums sold, it was time for the first DVD, 'Live in Hellvetia', which was shot by the end of 2010 in Pratteln, Switzerland.

Freedom Call's current lineup:

Chris Bay - vocals & guitar
Lars Rettkowitz - guitar, backing vocals
Samy Saemann - bass, backing vocals
