Let’s start with first things first…. the title of the new PICTURE album will be “Wings“. And for now a statement made by PICTURE guitarist Jan Bechtum.
“Great news! We have finalized the recording of the new studio album. The album will be called “WINGS” (which is also a meaningful song on the album). At the moment, our engineer and producer is working on the final mix and we couldn’t be more happy with the sound and the songs. The album contains 10 songs including the longer, epic “Stroke”. This song is about the stroke Rinus had a few years back, about his life before, during and the fight to a comeback after the stroke. I also finalized the artwork for the cover. Expect classic Picture songs with a modern sound. We are extremely proud. The release date for “Wings” will be announced soon!!!” – Jan Bechtum
