Is Silver a good place to start with Gotthard?

Yes, Silver is recommended as a starting point for new Gotthard listeners. A blend of anthemic choruses and heartfelt ballads, showcasing Gotthard's signature hard rock sound with emotional depth. Released in early 2017, 'Silver' marks Gotthard’s eleventh studio album and their first without founding member Steve Lee, who passed away in 2010. This album continues to build on the band's legacy following their 2014 release 'Bang!' and showcases their resilience and evolution over the years.
