Anneke van Giersbergen’s Vuur have shared a stream of their brand new track titled Freedom - Rio.

It’s the latest song taken from the band’s debut album In This Moment We Are Free - Cities which will arrive on October 20 via InsideOut Music. They previously revealed My Champion - Berlin and Days Go By - London.

The track was written by van Giersbergen, Vuur’s producer Joost van den Broek and Periphery guitarist Mark Holcomb.

Anneke says: “Most cities have a rich historical background with waxing and waning fortunes during their existence. You can often still sense the impact of wars, conflicts, and natural disasters and even everyday life can be extremely difficult in a city.

“Most songs on the album however emphasise the raw beauty of urban life and the sense of freedom that comes with travelling the world and visiting all these beautiful places.”

Vuur have also announced that they’ll support Epica on their upcoming European dates which will be followed by a short co-headline tour with Scar Symmetry. Find details below, along with the In This Moment We Are Free - Cities cover art and tracklist.
