Himmelfahrt (CD, fra Subway To Sally

Appearing in the limited mediabook (including bonus CD).

On March 24, 2023, SUBWAY TO SALLY will release their 14th studio album 'Himmelfahrt.' Since the beginning of their career, the band has dealt with the depths of the human soul and celebrated great successes with that. 'Himmelfahrt' now marks a turning point: hope is the leitmotif of the new album. Confidence is celebrated, but not without a touch of bitterness and resentment in the face of current world events.

SUBWAY TO SALLY prove on 'Himmelfahrt' that even after over 30 years of band history, they are still up to date and innovative. True to the motto 'never go back, always forward' from 'Leinen Los,' the band from Potsdam once again delivers a musical work of the highest quality. Great arrangements, profound lyrics, sometimes captivating, sometimes restrained melodies, and a constant urge to move forward characterize SUBWAY TO SALLY's songs on 'Himmelfahrt.' Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, but always filled with familiar trademarks, the band heralds a new beginning.

The band says: 'The songwriting for 'Himmelfahrt' started long before Corona, shortly after the release of the last album 'Hey!' (2019), which in retrospect seems prophetic and distressing in the face of the pandemic and war.' Looking at the material that was created afterwards, the band had to confront the question at a certain point whether now is exactly the right time to celebrate hope. 'Hope is fuel for the future' (SUBWAY TO SALLY), and so the original material for the new album was considered untimely and discarded, paving the way for what can be heard on 'Himmelfahrt' today.

SUBWAY TO SALLY: 'Many songs on the new album now deal with departure and journey, reaching out to other people to lead them from the darkest depths into the light. However, the current events in the world put this hope to a severe test. Bitterness and resentment cloud the hope. That's why God also has to speak on the album to vent his disappointment about his work.'

'Himmelfahrt' adds another great work to SUBWAY TO SALLY's impressive discography. Fans can look forward to hits like 'Was Ihr Wollt' (What You Want), 'Leinen Los' (Cast Off), or 'Weit ist das Meer' (Far is the Sea).
