Von Hertzen Brothers confirm new album VII - War Is Over

Von Hertzen Brothers have confirmed their next album is called VII – War Is Over, and it’s to be released in the autumn.

The launch will be accompanied by a 12-date UK tour in November, which includes appearances at the Hard Rock Hell and HRH Prog festivals in Wales.

The band are currently mixing the follow-up to 2015’s New Day Rising in Helsinki, with work to be completed in the very near future.

Frontman Mikko Von Hertzen says: “We’re so excited by the songs. We took a little breather to give space for seeds to sprout, and for musical ideas to grow and flourish.

“What we now have is a beautiful garden of all different kinds of songs. We feel there’s a new fresh magic and energy in this record that we’re all extremely excited about. We can’t wait to unleash these songs in the UK.”

Tour tickets are available via the band’s website. Full dates below.

Von Hertzen Brothers: Prog me

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
