A 30-second audio snippet of a rough-mix version of the new DOKKEN song "Burning Empire" can be streamed in the YouTube clip below. The track will appear on DOKKEN's new album,Victor Martinez Orioles Jersey, "Broken Bones", which is scheduled for release in the fall via Frontiers Records. The drums for the CD were laid down at MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee's The Atrium studio in Calabasas,Mitch Moreland Rangers Jersey, California. DOKKEN frontman Don Dokken stated in a recent interview about the new album title, "[It] is a metaphor that we all have broken bones, be it from an accident,Russell Martin Blue Jays Jersey, failed relationship,Mark Grace Cubs Jersey, or a broken heart. Everybody gets wounded as we go through life, but, as they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Dokken previously described the band's new material as "very uptempo and heavy." He added,Andre Ethier Dodgers Jersey, "We know our fans like the classic DOKKEN sound, and this is where our new music is headed. It's been a band of brothers doing what we love: 'music.'" Regarding the new songs' lyrical approach, Dokken said, "I write what comes from the heart,Bryce Harper Nationals Jersey, I don't believe in writing music trying to repeat what you've already done. I understand what the fans want but as an artist I see no point in painting the same picture over and over."The cooperation between Frontiers and DOKKEN started with the European release of the group's "Lightning Strikes Again" CD in 2007. The album marked a return to DOKKEN's signature style with melodic hooklines and blazing guitar riffs that epitomized the band's sound on such records as "Tooth And Nail",Dustin Pedroia Red Sox Jersey, "Under Lock And Key", "Back For The Attack" and "Dysfunctional".DOKKEN's current lineup consists of Don Dokken on lead vocals,Ben Revere Nationals Jersey, Jon Levin on guitar, Sean McNabb on bass and Mick Brown on drums. |
