Nearly five years after the release of “#13,” Swiss rockers GOTTHARD are making a powerful comeback with their highly anticipated new album, “Stereo Crush,” set to release on March 21, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

To mark the announcement, the band have unveiled their latest single, ‘Boom Boom.’ This high-energy anthem not only celebrates the album announcement but also offers a dynamic preview of the signature sound fans can expect from “Stereo Crush.”

Guitar duo Leo Leoni and Freddy Scherer ignite the track with heavy riffs that haven’t been heard in the GOTTHARD realm for quite some time. The remarkable rhythm section, powered by bassist Marc Lynn and drummer Flavio Mezzodi, propels the Swiss express forward with relentless energy, while frontman Nic Maeder masterfully commands the journey through hard rock territory with his powerful and charismatic vocals. Building up to an irresistibly catchy chorus, it’s clear to all that this is a new GOTTHARD classic in the making.

Leo Leoni explains the personal meaning of the song: “I wrote it when I found out that we were expecting a child. The birth of my son Gabriel was a moment that completely changed my life. When I hold him in my arms, look into his eyes or see his smile, I feel an indescribable love and deep gratitude. This song is my way of expressing all these feelings for him.”

Produced and mixed by long-time partner Charlie Bauerfeind, who’s known for his work with the likes of HELLOWEEN and BLIND GUARDIAN, alongside founding member Leo Leoni at Yellowhouse Studio, and mastered by Sascha “Busy” Bühren (TrueBusyness), “Stereo Crush” promises to set new standards which will additionally come to shine on the band’s forthcoming touring cycle: GOTTHARD will open it with a tour in May, accompanied by special guests Y&T, before the quintet head to select festivals as well as the stages of their home country at the end of 2025. The band’s current live schedule and ticket info can be found below!

Fans should also mark January 17 of next year in their calendars as “Stereo Crush” pre-orders will officially be launched on that date. One thing’s for sure: Even in 2025, there won’t be a way around GOTTHARD for the worldwide hard rock community!
