Glam-metal lifers Dokken are leaping again into the hearth with “Fugitive,” the primary single off their upcoming album Heaven Comes Down, out on Oct. 27.
You can watch the video and see the Heaven Comes Down monitor itemizing beneath.
“The inspiration for the lyrics came from what seems to me to be an uncertain world these days,” frontman Don Dokken mentioned in an announcement. “It’s an up-tempo Rokker [his spelling, not ours], as are many on the album. I don’t know what the future holds for our world, so I decided to take a step back and watch it all unfold. … Yes, I guess I’ve become like many these days, a fugitive from life. Hence the title!”
Mixed by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden) and produced by Bill Palmer, Heaven Comes Down marks the primary Dokken studio album since 2012’s Broken Bones. “Fugitive” options a lot of melodic riffs, hovering vocals and a scorching solo from guitarist Jon Levin, who’s held the place since 2003.
The band’s namesake chief emphasised the latter level in his assertion as properly. “I’m so tired of hearing about the fighting and the ‘this’ and ‘that’ … this is about a new record,” he mentioned. “A new record with my new band. It’s been a long process, but at the end of the day, I think we have lightning in a bottle.”
Heaven Comes Down is out there to preorder now on CD, vinyl, cassette and digitally.
