BRAINSTORM Unleashes New Cover: “Celebrate Youth”
Special Release Coinciding with Tour Kickoff
Today marks an exciting day for the German power metal band BRAINSTORM as they kick off their latest tour. To celebrate this occasion, they have released a digital version of their cover track “Celebrate Youth,” which was previously an exclusive bonus on their 2025 album, Plague Of Rats.
A Personal Tribute by Andy B. Franck
Vocalist Andy B. Franck shared his thoughts on the song, stating, “With ‘Celebrate Youth,’ we chose a song that meant a lot to me personally in my early Youth. Yes, it’s not a metal song, but it perfectly reflects that era and my feelings as a young person striving to achieve much.” He emphasized the importance of listening to the younger generation and giving them a voice, adding, “I don’t think I’ve ever really matured that much deep down. I’ve retained that feeling and still think and feel like a young guy.” Franck expressed his enthusiasm for recording the track, noting, “This thing rocks, and we had a lot of fun recording it. The Youth, then and now, needs to be heard and understood. This song perfectly encapsulates that message.”
