German folk-rock veterans DARTAGNAN have unveiled ‚Für immer Dein‘, the third single from their upcoming covers and anniversary album ‚Helden x Hymnen‘, due July 24, 2026. The reimagined ballad arrives in an intimate unplugged arrangement, marking a decade of the Nuremberg band’s career with emotional depth and renewed urgency.DARTAGNAN are celebrating ten years of anthemic folk-rock with a string of releases tied to their seventh album, ‚Helden x Hymnen‘, scheduled for release on July 24, 2026. The latest offering, ‚Für immer Dein‘, dropped on May 22, 2026, as the third single from the project and presents one of the band’s most beloved ballads in a stripped-back, unplugged version that trades sonic grandeur for raw intimacy.
Rather than a conventional studio album, ‚Helden x Hymnen‘ is largely built around freshly recorded cover versions, a bold creative choice that underlines DARTAGNAN’s confidence after a decade in the game. The album is available to pre-order now in several formats, including a standard Digipack CD, a 140g standard vinyl, and a special edition double vinyl featuring exclusive splatter designs and an etched B-side. A limited, numbered fan box rounds out the offerings, packing bonus tracks, a sword-shaped letter opener, a flag, and an exclusive lily-embossed guitar pick.
‚Für immer Dein‘ carries a message that resonates well beyond its folk-rock origins. Against a backdrop of global conflict and social fragmentation, the song’s themes of longing, loyalty and enduring connection feel quietly defiant. The acoustic arrangement allows the lyrical weight to land with particular force, stripping away everything but the emotional core.
Two earlier singles, the title track ‚Helden X Hymnen‘ and ‚Wake Me Up‘ featuring Ally the Piper, have already set the tone for the anniversary project. DARTAGNAN will celebrate the milestone live with the Heldenfest on July 25, 2026 in Wuppertal, a documentary screening on July 26 in Nuremberg, and a full headline tour across Germany in autumn 2026.
