German guitar legend Axel Rudi Pell has debuted the lyric video for his new digital single, “The King Of Fools”, which is taken from the forthcoming studio album Game Of Sins.
As a treat for St. Nicholas day Axel Rudi Pell says about the song: ““The King Of Fools“ is about a pimp, the King of his neighbourhood. Little girls should be aware of him, he teaches sin! It’s a typical ARP riff-rocker, melodic and straight with a catchy hookline!”
Axel Rudi Pell has confirmed the European tour in support of the new album Game Of Sins. Besides countries like Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Holland and the Czech Republic, it will be the first time that he will play in Italy. Confirmed dates follow.

It comes as no surprise that Axel’s 16th studio recording featuring original material is a definite winner. “Everybody involved agrees,” he grins. “There’s not a single filler on the album.” Which apparently was not the case on some of his previous offerings, as he admits with a smirk. Game Of Sins is way harder, grittier, the songwriting even more accomplished, experience meeting excellence again.
Especially sound-wise, ARP appears to have made a quantum leap: “Looking back, I have to admit that the drums on the last album stayed too much in the background,” a fact which has changed for the better: they sound much fuller and much more aggressive this time around and have been adapted to suit the new songs. Having said that, this album is a must-have not only for air drummers – riff fetishists and solo aficionados will also love ARP’s new material. And it’s no secret that vocalist Johnny Gioeli counts among the best of his profession. All in all, Game Of Sins presents a band at the peak of its powers.
Although the sleeve and the intro “Lenta Fortuna” (Latin for bad luck) may suggest that this is a concept album about gambling – it is not. Game Of Sins is ARP at his best: the sirens in the metallic opener “Fire” are a perfect wake-up call, “Sons In The Night” with its “Sons Of Anarchy”-inspired lyrics pays tribute to the NWOBHM. The title track is the longest number on the album, nine minutes of those epic structures and Arabian scales which Pell is so fond of. “Falling Star” once again refers to the early 80s.
Among the recording’s highlights features “The King Of Fools” with its his five minutes of pure emotion, a perfect symbiosis between steeliness and melody, with an unbelievable performance by Gioeli.“Till The World Says Goodbye” again presents Pell in his element: an epic, almost dark and doomy ballad, a moving soundtrack for the Judgment Day. “Breaking The Rules” is another melodic rock song, before the regular album finishes with a slow number called “Forever Free”. But the crowning glory is included in the Digipak format: ARP is the first musician to successfully deliver a real hard-rocking version of the almighty Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix classic “All Along The Watchtower”; which has been his heart’s desire for a long time, as Axel explains.
“That song is far from easy to arrange, but the result is definitely worth the effort. Everything went according to plan.”
The tracklist is as follows:
“Lenta Fortuna”
“Fire”
“Sons In The Night”
“Game Of Sins”
“Falling Star”
“Lost In Love”
“The King Of Fools”
“Til The World Says Goodbye”
