Axel Rudi Pell, German virtuoso Heavy Metal guitarist supreme, is to release a brand new digital single and video, 'Love's Holding On', featuring special guest star Bonnie Tyler, via Steamhammer/SPV, on March 31st.

 
The song contains a stunning duet between Bonnie and long-time Axel Rudi Pell band singer Johnny Gioeli and is one of four new recordings included on 'Ballads V', part five of ARP's successful ongoing ballad compilation album series. It's due out on April 21st.
 
Axel tells us:
 
"Bonnie Tyler only records songs she personally likes, so I wrote this tune just for her and she really loved it. She came to the studio and we recorded it within a couple of hours; the result is amazing!"
 
'Ballads V' follows on from ARP's most recent studio album, 'Game Of Sins', which charted high in the national album charts in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and The Czech Republic and also breached the UK's Rock and Metal chart when released in January 2016.
 
'Ballads V' also contains a sublime new eight-minute-long song, 'On The Edge Of Our Time', as well as Axel's rocking cover version of Ed Sheeran's composition 'I See Fire', the theme track of 'The Hobbit' movie.
