German hard rock veterans SINNER have unveiled ‚Wait‘, the first single from their forthcoming and final studio album ‚Boom Bang Goodbye‘, set for release on July 31, 2026 via RPM. The track arrives with an official music video and signals a celebratory, uplifting farewell from one of Europe’s most enduring hard rock acts. With over four decades and 19 studio albums behind them, SINNER are closing their chapter on a definitive high note.German hard rock institution SINNER have released ‚Wait‘, the lead single from their upcoming and final studio album ‚Boom Bang Goodbye‘, due July 31, 2026 via RPM. The track wastes no time in delivering what the band have always done best: massive hooks, powerful guitar work and an infectious energy that refuses to wallow in sentiment. It is, by design, a feel-good anthem for a turbulent era.
Bandleader Mat Sinner was deliberate in his choice of opening statement. He wanted the first taste of the album to radiate positivity rather than add to the noise of an already chaotic world, and ‚Wait‘ delivers precisely that. Reuniting with vocalist Michael Bormann after a decade apart, the chemistry between the two proved immediate, while drummer Moritz Müller and guitarist Alex Scholpp provide the kind of powerhouse foundation the band’s reputation is built upon. The mix, handled by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Denmark, brings modern punch without sacrificing the classic SINNER identity.
The album itself reads like a who’s who of international hard rock and metal. Alongside core members Scholpp and Müller, the record features contributions from Mathias Dieth, Magnus Karlsson of the PRIMAL FEAR camp, and Jim Müller of KISSIN‘ DYNAMITE. Vocally, ‚Boom Bang Goodbye‘ is nothing short of extraordinary, with guest performances from Ronnie Romero of RAINBOW, Michael Sadler of SAGA, Björn Strid of SOILWORK, Erik Mårtensson of ECLIPSE, Renan Zonta and Sascha Krebs.
Since forming in 1982, SINNER have remained one of the most consistent forces in European metal. With ‚Boom Bang Goodbye‘, they prepare to close that legacy with the grandeur it deserves.
