Coming Home

When you dive into Coming Home, you encounter a piece that, although it shares space on the album Love at First Sting with massive hits like Rock You Like a Hurricane and Still Loving You, has its own energy. It's a song that spans five minutes, inviting a sonic journey. The recording of this album, which was released in February 1984 in the United States and March 1984 in the United Kingdom, took place at Dierks Studios in Stommeln, Germany. Curiously, the first ideas for the album emerged in Stockholm, with musicians like Jimmy Bain and Bobby Rondinelli, but those fragments did not make it to the final version.

The sound of Love at First Sting is often described as a mix of heavy metal, hard rock, and even glam metal. For Coming Home, the production was handled by Dieter Dierks, who also took care of the mixing along with Mike Beiriger and the band itself. In the recording engineering, Mike Beiriger, David Hewitt, and Gerd Rautenbach participated, adding to Dieter Dierks. The Scorpions, a band born in Hanover in 1965, already had a long career when they released this album, having gone through different lineups and exploring sounds since their first record, Lonesome Crow, in 1972.
