Album Description
Available in:
Sting in the Tail is the seventeenth studio album by the German heavy metal band Scorpions. It was released on March 19, 2010 in Europe (March 14 in Greece) and on March 23 in North America.
In an interview with the Songfacts website, Rudolf Schenker explained that their goal was to update their sound from their classic period in the 1980s. He explained: "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."
The album features a duet on the song "The Good Die Young" with the Finnish symphonic metal singer Tarja Turunen.
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. The album also peaked at Number 2 on the Billboard Rock Charts.
The Get Your Sting and Blackout World Tour promoting the album was originally going to be the band's last tour. However, in July 2012, Scorpions reversed that decision and said that they have no plans for retirement.
