An unapologetic celebration of everything Dokken do best, yet now through a wiser and richer lens, Heaven Comes Down, the 13th studio album from the legendary American rockers, will be released on October 27, 2023 (Silver Lining Music).
βThe long anticipated new Dokken album, βHeaven Comes Downβ, is finally done and the first single is titled βFugitiveβ!β declares Don Dokken. βThe inspiration for the lyrics came from what seems to me to be an uncertain world these days. Itβs an up-tempo Rokker as are many on the album. I donβt know what the future holds for our world, so I decided to take a step back and watch it all unfoldβ¦ Yes, I guess Iβve become like many these days a fugitive from life. Hence the title!β
βThe song rocks and the lyrics are self-explanatory,β continues Don, βlike many songs Iβve written, it came to me late at night. Inspiration and pure stream of consciousness have always been the best formula for me when composing. It has that classic Dokken soundβ¦ A great song to blast when driving down the highway.β
Video directed by Chris Eyre (Dark Winds, Smoke Signals) at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Video by Tom Strickfaden.
You want to rock? Sink your teeth into βFugitiveβ, which rides some shimmering guitar work courtesy of 20 year member Jon Levin, and if you want ballads, head on over to βIβll Never Give Upβ, hanging on that Coliseum chorus, Levin laying down a landmark solo. The pattern of Heaven Comes Down never falters in delivering the goods on both sides of the fence. βJust Like A Roseβ brings the Pacific Coast Highway to desert plains with its smooth, effortlessly-driven gears, and βSaving Graceβ carries a mystical malevolence. But βSanta Feβ is perhaps the most revealing with Don Dokken opening up with what amounts to a βlife-moment biographyβ: a spartan acoustic arrangement allowing the rich yet road-driven vocals to frame what might well prove to be the defining moment of Dokkenβs career.
Mixed by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa) and produced by Bill Palmer and Don Dokken, fans will love it, neutrals will be wonderfully surprised by some of the ingredients within Heaven Comes Down. Heaven Comes Down will be released on CD Digipak, 12β Vinyl Album in Black and colour variants, digital formats and special D2C products and bundles. Available to pre-order from August 8th 2023 here:
