Need to Believe by Gotthard

Need To Believe is the ninth studio album released by the hard rock band Gotthard. It was released on 4 September 2009. It is the last album with singer Steve Lee before his death. In an interview, singer Steve Lee explains “We want to encourage. Especially in these times that are full of crisis it is important to believe in something. There is a wonderful saying, that 'will can move mountains'. If you are positively thinking and never give up, you will win in the end. That has always been Gotthard's belief.” The album art, as Lee explains, "shows the philosophy of Gotthard: 'believe in yourself and do your own thing, even if you think it is impossible sometimes. Like it seems impossible to press water out of a stone. „Need To Believe“ because faith is essential.“ A high quality box version was released including a special gimmick and the bonus track "Ain't Enough". The band contributed one new song to the film Max Schmeling, a biopic by Uwe Boll about boxer Max Schmeling. The title track, "Need to Believe", was the album's lead single, which was made available for download 14 August 2009. The album peaked at #1 on the Swiss charts and was certified as Platinum for exceeding 30,000 sales.
