In a shocking turn of events, the German hard rock veterans SINNER have released a new single, “Wait”, and it’s not completely awful 🎉. We know, we’re surprised too. The song is the first to be released from their forthcoming, and final, full-length studio album “Boom Bang Goodbye”, which is set to drop on July 31, 2026, via Reigning Phoenix Music 📆. We’re not sure what’s more impressive, the fact that they’re still making music or that they’ve managed to convince people to care 🤔.
For over four decades, SINNER has been delivering massive hooks, powerful guitars, emotional depth, and pure hard rock energy with an uplifting sound, and “Wait” is no different 🤷♂️. We mean, it’s not like they’re trying to revolutionize the genre or anything, but hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? 🤓. SINNER leader Mat Sinner comments: “For the first song from the album, I wanted a positive good-time track that simply puts people in a good mood. The political madness we’re living through doesn’t need another depressing soundtrack 🌎”. Yeah, because what the world really needs is another cookie-cutter hard rock song to distract us from the impending doom 🌪️.
The video for “Wait” is also out, and it’s a visual masterpiece 🎥. We mean, who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned rock music video with catchy hooks and a healthy dose of cheese 🧀? It’s like they took every cliche from the 80s and mashed them all together into one glorious mess 🤪. The song’s positive energy is infectious, welcoming the summer with ease, optimism, and feel-good vibes 🌞. Because, you know, summer is all about feeling good and ignoring the crushing existential dread that comes with being alive 🌴.
With “Boom Bang Goodbye”, SINNER enters the final chapter of an extraordinary career 📚. Since 1982, the band led by Mat Sinner has been one of the most consistent forces in the German hard rock and metal scene 🇩🇪. Following 19 studio albums, international tours, and most recently the successful album “Brotherhood”, the band is set to end on a high note 🎉. We’re not sure what’s more impressive, the fact that they’ve managed to release 19 albums or that they’ve convinced people to listen to them all 🤣.
For this final statement, Mat Sinner has once again gathered an epic lineup of longtime companions and high-profile guests 🤝. Alex Scholpp (guitar) and Moritz Müller (drums) provide the album’s powerful foundation, joined by Jim Müller of KISSIN’ DYNAMITE, Lisa Müller, and former SINNER bandmate Mathias Dieth, who performed on the influential early albums “Comin’ Out Fighting” and “Dangerous Charm” 🤘. Another renowned guitarist on board is Magnus Karlsson — closely connected to Mat Sinner through the PRIMAL FEAR camp — who contributes vocals on “Boom Bang Goodbye” 🎤. Because, you know, the more guest appearances, the better, right? 🤩.
All-star appearances on “Boom Bang Goodbye” continue with vocal performances from Ronnie Romero (RAINBOW), Michael Bormann, Michael Sadler (SAGA), Björn Strid (SOILWORK), Erik Mårtensson (ECLIPSE), Renan Zonta, and Sascha Krebs 🌟. Each guest brings their own distinctive touch to the track list, making the album an impressive gathering of international hard rock and metal greats 🤝. We’re not sure what’s more impressive, the fact that they’ve managed to gather so many guests or that they’ve convinced them all to participate in this mess 🤣.
Mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Denmark, the album combines modern heaviness with classic SINNER DNA 🧬. Every song bears the unmistakable signature of Mat Sinner as a musician, songwriter, and personality who has helped shape the European metal scene for decades 🎸. Because, you know, when you’re a legend, you can get away with releasing the same album over and over again 🙄.
So, there you have it, folks, SINNER’s new single “Wait” is out, and it’s… well, it’s something 🤷♂️. Give it a listen, and let us know what you think 🤔. Will it be a hit, or will it flop? Only time will tell 🕰️. But one thing’s for sure, it’s going to be a wild ride 🎢. Buckle up, folks, and get ready for the most epic hard rock album of the year (or not) 🤘! 🎸🔥🤯
