"Himmelfahrt" LP by Subway To Sally

Appearing on black Vinyl in gatefold.

'SUBWAY TO SALLY will release their 14th studio album Himmelfahrt on March 24, 2023. Since the beginning of their career, the band has been exploring the depths of the human soul and has celebrated great success doing so. Himmelfahrt now marks a turning point: hope is the guiding theme 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 in tune with the times and innovative. True to the motto 'never back, always forward' from 'Leinen Los,' the band once again delivers a musical work of the highest quality. Great arrangements, profound lyrics, captivating or restrained melodies, and a constant drive to move forward characterize SUBWAY TO SALLY's songs on Himmelfahrt. Sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, but always infused with their familiar trademarks, the band heralds a new beginning.

The band says, 'The songwriting for Himmelfahrt began long before COVID-19, shortly after the release of the last album Hey! (2019), which in retrospect feels prophetic and oppressive in the face of the pandemic and war.' Looking at the material that emerged afterwards, the band had to confront the question at a certain point of whether now, precisely now, is 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 'Hope is fuel for the future' (SUBWAY TO SALLY), and so the original material for the new album was deemed outdated and discarded, paving the way for what can be heard on Himmelfahrt today.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 new beginnings and journeys, with reaching out to other people to guide them from the darkest depths into the light. However, the most recent events in the world put this hope to a severe test. Bitterness and resentment cloud the hope. This is why God must also have his say on the album, to express his disappointment with 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' (The Sea Is Wide).'
