Michael Schenker is currently in the final stages of recording a brand-new MSG album, which is set to be released on January 8th, 2021. The album title will be Immortal, a perfect statement to describe Michael Schenker’s legacy and to celebrate his 50th anniversary as a musician. ‘’It’s going very well. We have a lot of guest musicians, who will undoubtedly help to make it an exceptional success’’ says Michael Schenker. He also adds: ‘’First of all I want to say that I am very grateful to any musicians that have helped to create a fitting tribute to my long career on this special release. I want to thank all of them for their incredible contribution.’’

The album was predominantly recorded at the Kidroom Studio in Germany, with Michael‘s long-time partner Michael Voss who co-produced the album and also sings on two tracks.  Immortal will continue the tradition of the previous two MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST records Resurrection and Revelation and feature a big list of friends and guests. the album’s main vocalist will be uprising Chilean born talent Ronnie Romero (Rainbow a.o.), along with Michael Voss (Mad Max a.o.)Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) and Joe Lynn Turner (ex-Deep Purple, Rainbow a.o.) singing on two tracks each. Besides Michael Schenker himself, the album was recorded with Steve Mann (keyboards), Barry Sparks (bass, Dokken etc.), as well as the three drummers Bodo Schopf, SimonPhilipps (ex-Toto) and Brian Tichy (ex-Whitesnake). 

The limited first edition of this upcoming MSG album will feature another unique extra: ‘’We have the MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST – Bang Your Head – Blu-ray, recorded during our headline show in Balingen/Germany two years ago: Unfixed, raw, pure and great! There’s a couple of small mistakes, but because the show and recording went so well, I decided to keep it the way it went on the night. It’s live, magic and pure.’’
