“‘Over The Mountain’ is a metaphoric song lyrically about people searching for better times and better days” explains Don Dokken. “It seems everybody is always looking for their Shangri-La.”
“My studio in the Sangre de Cristo mountains has wrap-around windows staring at three mountains ranges and the city lights of Santa Fe below,” continues Don. “Your environment affects what you write. I’m not staring at a black soundproof wall, I’m looking out ten windows where I can see Sandia, Ortiz and Jemez mountains, looking at the sunset every day, purple, yellow and pink, and it affects you… very inspiring.”

You can feel that heat off the Sunset Strip and see that hair in the wind as Dokken bring their timeless convertible Ferrari rock ‘n’ roll power to the table with Heaven Comes Down, an unapologetic celebration of everything Dokken do best. You want to rock? Sink your teeth into ‘Fugitive’, which rides some shimmering guitar work courtesy of 20+ year member Jon Levin, and if you want ballads, head on over to ‘I’ll Never Give Up’, hanging on that Coliseum chorus, Levin laying down a landmark solo. The pattern of Heaven Comes Down never falters in delivering the goods on both sides of the fence. ‘Just Like A Rose’ brings the Pacific Coast Highway to desert plains with its smooth, effortlessly-driven gears, and ‘Saving Grace’ carries a mystical malevolence. But ‘Santa Fe’ is perhaps the most revealing with Don Dokken opening up with what amounts to a ‘life-moment biography’: a spartan acoustic arrangement allowing the rich yet road-driven vocals to frame what might well prove to be the defining moment of Dokken’s career.
Mixed by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa) and produced by Bill Palmer and Don Dokken, fans will love it, neutrals will be wonderfully surprised by some of the ingredients within Heaven Comes Down.
Heaven Comes Down will be released this Friday October 27th 2023, on CD Digipak, 12” Vinyl Album in Black and colour variants, digital formats and special D2C products and bundles. Pre-order now at this location: lnk.to/DokkenHeavenComesDown

A dear friend of mine passed away from cancer last December. He and I talked about Dokken often and I know he would have liked the new music. Rest in peace James.

[@kulentarian55]

Rest in peace

[@gregorypeck1606]

I really feel you in your loss. I too had a life long friend of more than 24 years pass suddenly in 2011. He was into dio alot. I was the one who introduced him to dokken - as I was the most vocal dokken advocate in our circle of friends. I gave him some tapes to get hom started on his discovery of dokken not much was said to me about them after....it wasn't until after his passing that I learned he had a deep love of their music. I went to my first and second dokken shows earlier this year with another buddy and I couldn't stop thinking of my friend Jerry that night. I wish we could have shared that....now I'm going to my 3rd and 4 th shows in November.. I'm sure Jerry would love this new music as well as your friend. I guess they made it over the mountain before either of us... I hope they'll greet us both when we get there. I hope dokken music is something we can continue to share over that mountain. R.I.P and may the two of our friends rock forever in paradise.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I can remember my dad playing the Under Lock And Key cassette when I was a kid in the early 90’s. Now I’m playing brand new songs with my newborn. 3 generations get to share in some great music…. Thanks Don ❤

[@tomkonieczki4691]

DOKKEN is one of my favorites, Don actually sounds good lyrically for being 70 yrs old thank you Fon Dokken and fellow members for yhe new music

[@robgrimm9004]

Scorpions, Judas Priest and Dokken, still freaking rockin it!! Real talent ages like fine wine.

[@kprimm1967]

Good stuff. Always Rockin with Dokken!

[@rich5822]

This is a new Dokken style. I like it a lot. Keep on singing,Don!

[@Dunkle-Grumpkiss]

Love you guys. Don I hear the pain of the journey in your voice, a pain that echoes so well in my own. But I also hear the strength. Dokken has gotten me through some tough times and hearing your music helps me know other people have been there and are finishing their own journey, and I have to find the strength to finish my mine. May God the Father and Lord Jesus Christ bless all of you and thank you for what you do.

[@Savoy1984]

I was watching Headbangers Ball in the early 90’s and they played Dream Warriors ever since then I have always kept coming back to Dokken there is something magical about them.

[@charlesmcquaig7395]

Saw those guy's in1984and in south Florida and they were wonderful.

[@stevearnold7262]

I can't wait to run out and grab the CD. Every jam so far has been great. Hands down some of the Best Music I have heard in the last 30 plus year's. My late brother's favorite band. He would love this new album.

[@gailtravagiakis8632]

Although I still miss seeing Donnie along with his beautiful voice in this video❤️ This is still a great song😊

[@ScarecrowzTube]

Good chorus. He's right. The mountain is life. You have to climb it. It's not easy, but you can do it. It's true, some fall down and never get to climb it, but such is life. Make the most of it and work towards that serenity on the other side.

[@ruthie906]

Absolutely LOVE this!!! Thank you so much for this!!! Much love and respect from a longtime fan!!! 🤘❤👊❤️💪❤️

[@daneedwards2644]

This album is looking solid so far!

Good song

[@grumpygrant4537]

breaking the chains, tooth and nail, under lock and key, back for the attack, and up from the ashes are masterpieces

[@turefromfinland3264]

Or they are just mediocre records.

[@user-it2pz8iv2z]

​@@turefromfinland3264No, only you are mediocre. If you don't dig it, go listen to some shitty rapper and tell us all how great that experience is.

[@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066]

They're quite good, but not masterpieces.

[@AndreChaser]

Don Dokken's lyrics is amazing and unique. Great song!!

[@charlesdoyle7600]

Dokken was one of my favorite Bands in the 80s and I still listen to them today. Something about Don's voice and the Dokken Sound is something you want to listen to over and over again. The New band with Levin on Guitar sounds really Awesome!

[@pryl620]

Yeah

[@greendiskus]

It's pretty cool that Don is such a great musician that he was able to adjust to the constraints of his vocal range yet still maintain the style and feeling of his band. Great tone and he still sounds like Don Dokken.

[@sanfran6099]

Amazing !! ❤ 🤩

[@jeffbair9069]

I have been a DOKKEN fan since "Breaking the Chains"!!! I have been a singer/guitar player since I was 15. I am now 59. Getting older I understand the problems that singers face as they age. Not to mention other circumstances that make it hard to perform as you once could. In my late teens and early 20's I could sing high like Don, Steve Perry, Sebastian Bach, etc.... I had always been in cover bands and it was easy until I approached my mid 40's. Then things got difficult!!!! I could still do it, but after a show the recovery time was much extended!!! It got harder and harder to do. When the last band I was in had to tune down to make up for my lack of range, I decided to quit performing. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life!!!!! But I couldn't continue knowing I was sub par. I listened to recordings of myself and was horrified!!!!! But that being said, I just wanted to give a musicians opinion on how difficult performing can be as we age. Don't get me wrong I am not beating up on Don. He's got bigger balls to continue to perform even though he knows he's not at his best. But I LOVE the new album and he is still writing GREAT songs and he is a hell of an engineer and producer. I will always be a DOKKEN fan!!!!! I just hope he continues to write awesome songs and continue to be in the music world and utilize his god given talents!!!

[@gordonlawless6308]

I saw dokken in concert in 1995 and Don still sounds great, love the new CD and music

[@user-km4ul2ry4d]

Love everything you do Don Dokken ❤ and I don't think it's your last!

[@mikecarroll4264]

I have been a Dokken fan for many years. I have listened to the music mature with each album. Keep it up, guys

[@jesusmendo8984]

I saw him 4 year ago in my little town in a little place (Chihuahua, Mex) but He sang like monster of rock, very professional very carismatic.Thank Mr. Don Dokken.

[@RobertBroga]

This whole album is going to be kick ass!

[@JJ-hi7wq]

2more days!!!

[@4567832ful]

Another gem.

[@SuperChangcho]

I was expecting an Ozzy cover song, but this is really really good...thank you for the great music, which makes life better!

[@ddt67]

I was thinking the same thing! I’m happy it’s not, and it’s an original 🎸

[@SimplyStopMotionActionFigureFu]

Same!😂

[@danielf462]

It would have been cool to see how they would do a cover of the OZZY song!

[@michaeldygutsch3248]

Seit "Tooth and Nail" bin ich DOKKEN Fan und das ist erst fast 40 Jahre her. Long live the Don! Greetings from Bavaria ❤

[@mikal]

God damn, Don. I think your style of singing in a lower range has actually helped make the music even BETTER. This new stuff is all 100%.

[@carloscoelho6463]

Not the Dokken of mid eighties but still great for our days. Top band back then ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@juanrosales472]

Same old dokken!!!! What a time 2 be alive

[@estudiorodriguezramirez3893]

Rockin with Dokken for good 🤘🇦🇷 Don's tone is great

80s, 90s and still going , nice!

[@johnnyb3477]

Not sure why it took me so long but I just discovered Don's true talent...he's a crooner!

[@chrishupp5459]

He is a crooner now because he can't hit the high notes anymore

[@michaelmarshall1713]

He knows how to age gracefully

[@michaelmarshall1713]

@@chrishupp5459 But can still sing .

[@chrishupp5459]

I am happy to hear Don sing this way without trying to hit the high notes which many aging vocalists do and it sounds terrible. He sounds good this way and this song is very strong and I look forward to hearing the whole album@@michaelmarshall1713

[@4567832ful]

Another gem! Thank you Don!

[@MathewHesson-el2gw]

They keep playing, it helps us keep going.

[@shunsukeiwai2002]

Signature Dokken melody with a bit of Gary Moore flavor (oh, how I miss him). Fabulous work, Don!

[@davidscottlane7771]

Fantastic

[@jandvadams]

This is a good song. Really good song. Don has been through a lot. It's good to see him stick with it and come out with some really great music.

Dokken rocks. JESUS SAVES!

[@MarkWatsonMusicVancouver]

I was always a big Dokken fan. Great to see you're putting out new tracks!

[@richardhardwick9500]

Like The good old days this is ron DOken at his bset , a return to hard rock and metal!

[@TGMATCHIM]

Just awesome

[@krommetal]

i'm really liking Don's lower vocal range tbh. it sounds more unique to him, and his melodies are great!

[@frankdries6788]

agreed. almost has kind of a dokken meets death metal vibe with the lyrics and vocal style

[@bigdee8189]

Dokken's "lower vocal range" is because he can't hit the high notes anymore!! His voice is not at all like it used to be!! His voice is shot!! He should retire, and this is coming from a huge Dokken fan!! To me Dokken will always be Don, George, Jeff, and Wild Mick!!

[@krommetal]

@@bigdee8189 I’m fully aware that he can’t hit the high notes. 😂 that is why I commented about his lower vocal range. He should retire when he damn well pleases. If he still enjoys it and can work around the ‘high notes’ than good for him. I’m a musician and I’m not ‘retiring’ because of something like that. That’s ridiculous.

[@breri19]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love it!!!

[@mbgrafix]

I love Dokken! And Don, I love the message of this song about seeking. It is a bit of a departure from your usual song topics, but I eagerly welcome it! _"You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."_ *JEREMIAH 29:13*

[@renayeblack5906]

Indeed, excellent verse.

[@mbgrafix]

@@renayeblack5906 Absolutely! And it goes hand in hand with what Jesus said, _"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."_ *MATTHEW 22:37*

[@marishathiessen1321]

Still kicking ass!!!!! Best rock ever!!!!! Thank you Dokken for the ear candy!!

[@PetPrepRadioShow]

Overall, I'd like to hear Don's vocals more up front in the mix. I've listened many, many times as it is my favorite song so far out of the 3--Fugitive, Gypsy.... My tops so far of these 3 are: Over The Mountain, Fugitive and Gypsy. I have an animal rescue here and no funds coming in so I cannot afford to the cool stuff. Not even anything good to eat for me. It's all for the animals. They didn't ask to be here. I'm here to help and do clean up for animals with people problems. Still ROKKEN WITH DOKKEN! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album. It was cool for me this year that Don released this album 2 days before my 60th Birthday. I had no money, did not go out to celebrate and was so BUMMED out. The ONLY thing getting me by was some DOKKEN insights to life and encouragement to keep on keeping on! I'm a Messianic Believer so the Buddhist thing was not for me, but overall, it's the message that is the MOST important thing! KEEP SINGING DON! LOVE YOU, LOVE MICK. LOVE JEFF> LOVE GEORGE! Miss you much! Love your new GSD. I have a new GSD too...She's a fan as well! I hope we can get a cool pic to add to my channel pic...the one you see in my profile is my RIP Ziva... and she was amazing!
