“Silver Romance,” the upcoming new release by German melodic power metallers Freedom Call, is an album title that fits perfectly for the band on this, their 25th anniversary. Wryly referred to by singer/guitarist and band founder Chris Bay as “our silver wedding anniversary”, the title also applies to the content of the recording.
“Qualities such as clarity, freedom, and lightness are attributed to silver as a precious metal,” explains Bay, adding: “Silver is also said to strengthen your self-confidence and imagination. These are all features that also suit Freedom Call and that we’ve incorporated into our new material, both musically and lyrically.”
To ease the wait, four lead singles will be shared ahead of the album release, starting with the title track “Silver Romance” today, including a making-of video. The lead single will be followed by “In Quest Of Love” (March 20) and “High Above” (April 10), both accompanied by lyric clips. Two days before the album’s arrival on May 8th, “Supernova” will round off the quartet of singles, supported by a superb video.

Chris Bay and bandmates Lars Rettkowitz (guitar), Francesco Ferraro (bass), and Ramy Ali (drums), the latter having returned from a private hiatus, have recorded more than a dozen new tracks for “Silver Romance,“ resulting in the most diverse and colorful album in the band’s history to date.
“Silver Romance” will be available on CD and for digital download via Steamhammer/SPV on May 10, 2024, and Bay and Company are set to start their 2024 concert schedule a few days later.
