Hurricanes don't need amps, and neither do the Scorpions. The venerable German rock band is unplugging for its next release, a CD/DVD package of its recent 'MTV Unplugged' appearance.

Scheduled to arrive in North America on Jan. 14, 'MTV Unplugged' was taped at the Lycabettus Theatre in Athens, Greece -- a show that marked the first open-air taping in the history of 'MTV Unplugged' and came in the middle of the Scorpions' ongoing 'Farewell Tour,' which a press release notes has "no end in sight, as to date the band has only played 23 out of the 38 countries planned on the itinerary."

Somewhat unusually for 'Unplugged,' the Scorpions opted to mix some new material in with the expected hits; the set includes five previously unreleased songs ('Dancing With the Moonlight,' 'Delicate Dance,' Love Is the Answer,' 'Follow Your Heart' and 'Rock N' Roll Band'). The new tracks mark the band's first release of freshly written material since their 2010 farewell album, 'Sting in the Tail.'
