As they say in fairy tales: “Once upon a time…”
Founding member and guitarist Jürgen Breforth explains the amazing story behind this first new song: “Just like in a fairy tale, that’s exactly how I felt in 2023 when I got to play my first shows in Colombia with MAD MAX. The stories and encounters I experienced there have stayed with me to this day.
Of course, the comic about the story of MAD MAX (the very first comic about a heavy metal band ever in Colombia) holds a very special place in my heart—it would never have seen the light of day without those 2023 concerts. Naturally, I hope for all these adventures for BREFORTH as well, and we’re working hard to make that dream a reality.
When it came time to write songs for the new BREFORTH album and the first single, it was immediately clear to me that the new song had to be about Colombia. Everyone in the band was instantly enthusiastic about the idea. The lyrics and cover art are entirely autobiographical and capture exactly what I experienced: amazing concerts with enthusiastic fans, long car rides, exotic landscapes, incredibly friendly people, and a very special energy. The song radiates this energy and brings together all the musical influences that define BREFORTH. For me, it all started with bands like the early JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN, and SAXON: heavy guitar riffs, two-part guitar duels, and, above all, an unmistakably charismatic voice. “Colombian Hills” brings all of that together, making it, for me, the perfect signature song for this new chapter of BREFORTH. I would have loved to shoot the music video for the song at the original locations in Colombia, but that just wasn’t financially feasible.
Inspired by the MAD MAX comic, though, it was immediately clear that everyone in the band now wanted a BREFORTH comic as the video for “Colombian Hills.” Our drummer and creative director, Arne Fleischhut, developed a great fantasy comic story—spiced, of course, with a dash of humor. There are lots of cool little details about the band to discover. We’re looking forward to taking you on an exciting heavy metal journey to the “Colombian Hills.””
