Hamburg, June 14th, 2023 – “Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church” is the document of a very special concert in the idyllic setting of Wacken Church. It will be released on August 11th, 2023 on earMUSIC and is the first release of the live series “Rocking Heels”.

The first single, a cover of Linkin Park’s “Numb”, perfectly reflects the intimate setting of this concert. Tarja’s operatic prowess and hauntingly beautiful vocals add an extra layer of ethereal magic to an already powerful masterpiece. The song explores themes of emotional isolation, frustration, and the struggle to find one’s identity in a world that often feels overwhelming.
