Need to Believe

Untitled

Need To Believe is the ninth studio album released by the hard rock band Gotthard. It is set to be released in September 4th, 2009.

In an interview, singer Steve Lee explains “We want to encourage. Especially in these times that are full of crisis it is important to believe in something. There is a wonderful saying, that 'will can move mountains'. If you are positively thinking and never give up, you will win in the end. That has always been Gotthard's belief.”

The album art, as Lee explains, "shows the philosophy of Gotthard: 'believe in yourself and do your own thing, even if you think it is impossible sometimes. Like it seems impossible to press water out of a stone. „Need To Believe“ because faith is essential.“

Additionally, there will be a high quality box version including a special gimmick and the bonus track "Ain't Enough".

The band will also contribute one new song to the German director, Uwe Boll, film about Max Schmeling, which will be in theatres on April 2010.

The title track, "Need to Believe", is the album's lead single, available for download August 14, 2009.
