UNHEILIG

In the organizer's words:

After nine long years, the Count and his band UNHEILIG are finally back with new music and have announced an extensive arena tour. A brand new studio album entitled "LIEBE GLAUBE MONSTER" will be released in March 2026.

"Wunderschön" is the first musical foretaste of the new album "LIEBE GLAUBE MONSTER", which fans have been eagerly awaiting since the Count announced his comeback in February. "Wunderschön" is a seamless musical continuation of the great emotional songs and live moments with which the Count and UNHEILIG played their way into the hearts of millions of fans during their unparalleled career, before the final curtain fell on a deeply moving concert at the Rhein-Energie-Stadion in 2016. Now the curtain is rising on a new chapter in the remarkable story of Der Graf and Unheilig.

This is what Der Graf says about his new album and his comeback single: "Like every UNHEILIG album, the new studio album 'LIEBE GLAUBE MONSTER' is a concept album. I've had a lot of time over the past nine years to gather my inspiration and creative ideas and put them into music. These are the themes and facets of my life that I want to share with people. My thoughts, experiences, dreams, adventures, fears and emotions. Music has always been my language, and music is the best way for me to do that. And the album title seemed to me a fitting way to unite everything that my new songs are about. UNHEILIG has always been characterized by a very wide musical range. From metal to pop, rock and ballads to pop and punk rock or alternative music and electro, everything can be found in UNHEILIG's musicality. We used to perform in Wacken and on Carmen Nebel, this apparent balancing act is part of the UNHEILIG DNA and this remains the case with 'LIEBE GLAUBE MONSTER'. Accordingly, the album will contain a colorful mixture of fast songs, harder songs, ballads, mid-tempo songs and even schlageresque titles. It's all part of UNHEILIG. 'Wunderschön' is a song about friendship and solidarity. And the wonderful feeling and gift of embracing each other again after a long time of not seeing each other. Sharing memories, feeling safe, looking to the future together, spending time together, feeling close to each other. I believe that we all long for moments and feelings like these. And are happy when we experience them. After I left, I had these moments and this time together. With my family, with friends, with people I hadn't seen for a long time. But now I'm also really looking forward to being able to share these feelings and moments with my fans again. Which, of course, I have also missed over the years. And with people who have become important to me over the years. But who I haven't seen that often during my time as a private person. I simply had to capture this 'wonderful' feeling in a song."

After the Count had said goodbye to the music stage and the public nine years ago, one of the most successful and popular music artists of the last few decades surprised everyone with the announcement of a "BACK AGAIN" tour and also with the prospect of new music. Due to high demand, the initially planned six concerts quickly became 17 dates. The news of the comeback was accompanied by enthusiastic reactions from fans and was also met with great interest in the media. It became impressively clear how big the gap and emotional void was that the Count and his band UNHEILIG had left behind since their departure in 2016. A farewell at the zenith of his career to date.

With his successful album "Grosse Freiheit", the Count and Unheilig have spent an impressive 159 weeks in the Top 100 of the official German album charts. To date, "Grosse Freiheit" has been certified nine times platinum, making it the most successful album ever by a German-speaking artist. The album also achieved multi-platinum status in Austria and Switzerland and influenced an entire generation of fans. This is followed by sold-out tours and concerts in front of millions of people and numerous awards, including the Golden Camera, the Bambi, five Echos alone, winning the Bundesvision Song Contest for North Rhine-Westphalia, the Comet, the Music Writer's Prize and the Suisse Music Award.

He deals courageously and openly with his handicap as a stutterer, wins the greatest respect in public with his approachable, open-minded and modest manner, but above all reaches the hearts and lives of millions of people who find themselves reflected in his songs and personality. Until, in 2015, at the height of his success, he decided to retire from the hustle and bustle in order to have more time for his family. For nine years, the Count was exclusively a private person. He spent time with the people who were important to him and who for many years had not received the time and attention he would have liked to give them. And he devoted himself to a great passion: traveling through Europe in his motorhome and taking time for beautiful places and encounters with people. Nevertheless, he never stopped writing songs. Capturing his experiences, emotions and thoughts in his own language: music.
