After nine long years, the Count and his band UNHEILIG are finally back with new music and have announced an extensive arena tour for fall/winter 2026/2027. The comeback single "Wunderschön" will be released, accompanied by a music video and a live performance at the "Goldene Henne" award ceremony in Leipzig on 12.09.2026. 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. And they will not be disappointed! "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 Cologne on September 10, 2016. Nine years later to the day, with the announcement of the new album, the major arena tour and the release of the first single, the curtain is now 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 "Wunderschön":
"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 feature a colorful mixture of fast songs, harder songs, ballads, mid-tempo songs and even schlageresque tracks. 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 as often during my time as a private person. I simply had to capture this "wonderful" feeling in a song."
