The Times 2020

Over 1.7 million albums sold worldwide, 2.6 million streams for the Top 10 predecessor "Knights Call" (2018). Now Axel Rudi Pell releases his 18th (!) studio album in 31 years with "Sign Of The Times". But not the quantity but the quality is decisive. His consistency is increasingly appreciated in the worldwide Hard & Heavy community. Not always, but more and more often the term 'cult' is used when talking about Axel Rudi Pell. He himself can't do much with the term, "but if you've been so successful for so long, then maybe you've earned it. This not only sounds down-to-earth, but is also meant to be. "When we played in Moscow last year, many fans called me a 'legend'. My answer was, "I'm just a guitarist." No more, but no less either. Because the 59-year-old knows what he can do and still surprises himself, as in the case of "Sign Of The Times". "I don't know what it is, but this time I finished composing a month ahead of schedule."
