    Released: 2010

Sting in the Tail is the seventeenth studio album by German hard rock band Scorpions. It was released on 19 March 2010 in Europe (14 March in Greece) and on 23 March in North America. At the time it was intended to be a farewell album, released prior to their farewell tour.

Band members explained that the sound of the album would have been similar to that of the classic releases of the 80s, but with a modern twist.

The album features a duet on the song "The Good Die Young" with the Finnish symphonic metal singer Tarja Turunen, best known as the former lead vocalist of Nightwish.[1]

A tentative title for the album was Humanity: Hour II, however this was eventually scrapped.

First week sales in the United States were 18,500 copies sold placing the album at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 chart. In Germany the album debuted at No. 2, but fell in its second week to No. 3, in France at No. 16 and in Greece at No. 1.[2] The album also peaked at Number 2 on the Billboard Rock Charts.

The Get Your Sting and Blackout World Tour promoting the album was initially reported to be the band's last tour, though this proved not to be the case. In later interviews given after the tour had started, at least two band members (Klaus Meine and Matthias Jabs) stated that the band was not going to stop touring and was in fact, working on new material.

Background and recording

In the early April 2009, Scorpions fan club ScorpNews.com announced that Scorpions would have entered the studio in the fall of the same year to record a new album. A couple of weeks later, Klaus Meine officially confirmed that the band was working on new material in an interview for Deutsche Welle. He explained that "after a very turbulent 2008 with 60 shows in 22 countries, we're now trying to breathe a bit and charge our batteries — but also to be creative".[3][4] Two months later, the band had extended their record deal with Ariola Records.[5]

The band prepared about 18 songs for the album and teamed up with Swedish producers Mikael Nord Andersson an Martin Hansen. All the songs from the album are new written material, except four songs: "Slave Me", "No Limit", "Turn You On", "Spirit of Rock" and "The Best Is Yet to Come" which were written during the recording sessions for Unbreakable.[6] During those sessions "Turn You On" had a different title; "The Best Is Yet to Come" was planned to be recorded for the album following Unbreakable, but when the band received an offer from Desmond Child to record Humanity: Hour I they kept the song and recorded it for this album.[7] James Kottak in the interview for Sleaze Roxx explained: "The first four songs that we wrote for this record were actually dark. I call them dark songs because they were probably too heavy compared to the stuff we've done in the past. They were in the vein of "The Good Die Young", but you can't have too many songs like that. I love "The Good Die Young" but I'm glad the way things evolved took us away from where we were headed initially in the songwriting process. We also co-wrote with our producers, Martin Hansen and Mikael Andersson, who took the whole thing to an entirely different level".[6][8]

Recording process started in May 2009 and took place in four different recording studios. Main recording was done at Scorpio Sound Studio in Hannover, Germany. Vocals were done in The Garage Studios in Stockholm, while additional vocals were recorded in Vocal Land Studio. Drum parts were recorded at Atlantisstudion in Stockholm.[9] By the mid-December 2009, the band had finished with the recording of the album. Just before Christmas, they invited people from the European record company people to a listening session. After they listened to the whole album the next day the management told the band that the record company loved it and that it was the best record in years. The management proposed the idea of this album being the last studio album and announcing a final tour. Matthias Jabs explained "We had never spent a second thinking about this. For us, subconsciously, we thought it would go on forever. We were taken back a bit, but after a couple days living with the thought we decided together – that would be the right thing to do. We want to go out on top while we are still healthy and can still do a high-energy show that’s two, sometimes three hours a night."[10]

Composition and lyrical content

Rudolf Schenker explained that with this album, Scorpions went back to their roots. He said "If you take the best song elements from the ‘80s albums, and put these on one album, you come up with the Sting in the Tail album. So in this case we tried to re-invent the Scorpions sound from the ‘80s, using the same DNA after putting in a modern twist, to make it sound like today’s music".[11][12]

Lyrics on the album deal with various subjects. "Raised on Rock" is a song about Scorpions' philosophy of life. Meine explained "We all started listening the music and growing up with the music back in the 60s". Schenker also added ""Raised on Rock" is our soundtrack and it will be our soundtrack until the end of our days. It's the reason why we formed the band." Songs "Let's Rock", "Rock Zone" and "Spirit of Rock" deal with the same subject.[12][13] "Sting in the Tail" is a song about attitude and as Schenker said "it is really a great symbol of what the Scorpions are all about".[14][15] "The Good Die Young" is an anti-war song about soldiers in Afghanistan and all the people around the world who stand for freedom and peace. Meine explained "We all live in trouble times. I think that song is trying to express that kind of feeling". Lyrics for the song were inspired by the conversation between Meine and his friend who was preparing to go to Afghanistan for eight months. Meine said: "In between the lines I could hear, 'Well, let’s hope I come back home alive'."[16][17] "Lorelei" is a song about the legend of the water-spirit Lorelei who lives on the top of the rock Loreley above the river Rhine.[13] "SLY" is the fictional song about a girl named Sly. Meine explained "When "Still Loving You" was a smash hit back in the '80s, many folks made love to that song, obviously. Many people told us in Europe, especially France, 'We called our daughter Sly because of Still Loving You'"[18]

Release and promotion

Tony Antunovich from Metaleater.com gave the album A− stating that "is a solid effort and focuses primarily on slightly toned-down Rock anthems performed in SCORPIONS style", while Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal of Metal Assault nine and a half out of ten by saying that "If this really is the last album they would ever record, I would say with a heavy heart that it's the perfect way to say goodbye to the fans"[38][39] Ruben Mosqueda from Sleaze Roxx gave a positive review to the album by saying that "Sting in the Tail is a near perfect album and one hell of a way to wind up a career".[40] Former drummer Herman Rarebell said "I like the new album very much.
