Michael Schenker's Temple Of Rock Announce New Album

The legendary guitarist's new LP 'Spirit On A Mission' is set for release in the UK on Monday 23rd March.

The album of all-new material features Schenker’s Temple of Rock band, which includes ex-Scorpions drummer Herman Rarebell, as well as Francis Buchholz (bass), ex-Rainbow’s Doogie White (vocals) and Wayne Findlay (guitar, keyboards). The album will be available on on CD, Deluxe Edition (CD+DVD), Deluxe 180 gram vinyl (special DMM-Cut), and digital download formats.

The record features 12 classic rock guitar-driven songs that highlight Schenker’s distinctive and dynamic guitar playing, valiantly underpinned by the ferocious rhythm section of Rarebell and Buchholz, the same rhythm section that originally performed together on the Scorpions’ 1979 album Lovedrive.

Speaking about the name of the album, Michael Schenker said: "A while ago I was asked how I wanted to be remembered, and I said ‘as a spirit on a mission, spreading the joy of music from a place of pure self expression."

The album's release will be preceded by a single called 'Vigilante Man' on January 19th, which you can see the promo video for now below:
