“”Bridges Are Burning” is a special song, in many different ways”, drummer and composer Maximilian Behr declares. “For example, when I wrote it, I had no intention of bringing it into Iron Angel, it was just for myself, but at some point I decided to at least let the other guys listen and get their opinion on it and right from the start everyone liked it. However, since we’ve already determined the overall direction of the album, we felt like the song would be a little out of place amongst the others, so we decided to keep it as a bonus track. When we were done recording the album and listened to the first mixes, we reconsidered that decision and put it on the regular release. One day after that, our manager and booker Daniel da Silva listened to the album for the first time and he was freaking out over that song and immediately suggested it to be a single. Soon after our record label Mighty Music also suggested it, so we ultimately went for it. Quite a journey for that song! The lyrics are very personal, since they are about someone close to me, that sadly pursues the lonely descending road of hate in order to find strength and protection, while closing the doors to what is truly desired by this person – love and affection”, the musical concludes.
