The Scorpions have shared their new single, Seventh Sun. The song is taken from the band’s 19th studio album, Rock Believer, which will be released on February 25th, stream it, below.
From the very first note of Seventh Sun, guitarist Rudolf Schenker and his Flying V manage to spectacularly draw us into this powerful song in an almost mystical way, much in the tradition of Scorpions classics such as Animal Magnetism and China White.
Three months ago, the band released the official music video for Rock Believer‘s first single, Peacemaker, which can be heard here. That was followed by the albums title track, which can found here.

Yay, we didn’t have to wait 4 days! Although in this case, it wouldn’t have mattered, I love the Scorpions, been a fan forever, but I gotta say, unfortunately, this song sucks! Two thumbs down for me, couldn’t even make it all the way through
They should’ve titled it: Children Of The Sun.
a new classic! i’m hearing a distant echo of of vh “running with the devil”. if intentional, then that’s awesome!
I agree with this article, that this new song sounds like “China White” off the last great Scorpions album, “Blackout”, although I think the Uli Roth era is the best Scorpions era.
But after hearing a couple of new songs from this forthcoming Scorpions album, I am a little unimpressed with the songs. I expected more now that drummer Mikkey Dee is a member of Scorpions……
I also did not like this tune
That’s quite the list of dates for a band who retired from touring.
