Swedish vintage style hard rock pioneers SPIRITUAL BEGGARS return with their 9th studio album entitled "Sunrise To Sundown", which will be released on March 18th, 2016 in Europe as well as March 25th, 2016 in North America via InsideOutMusic.
Therefore the band is now debuting the album's first single for the title-track "Sunrise To Sundown" launched on the website of UK's Classic Rock Magazine.
Check out the song here:
SPIRITUAL BEGGARS guitarist Michael Amott checked in with the following comment about the song:
"I wrote 'Sunrise To Sundown' last year and brought into the jam room, where it very quickly went from a basic idea to a finished arrangement in something like five minutes! Some songs come fast and others take time to fully develop, you never know when inspiration hits you...and therein somewhere lies the beauty of creating music. The lyrics follow that train of thought too, talking about following your chosen path and turning your dreams into reality - two things I believe in very much."
Next to the static video stream via the Classic Rock website, the track "Sunrise To Sundown" is now also available as digital single via Spotify here:
The album's cover artwork was created by Costin Chioreanu / Twilight13Media (At The Gates, Grave, Arcturus, etc.) and here is the tracklisting:
