A commemorative album for Michael Schenker's Budokan performance, the pulse of a new "legend of soaring"! A brand new, completely original release under the "MSG" name celebrating its 45th anniversary! A soaring spirit, the ultimate culmination, "Don't Sell Your Soul"! As mentioned above, this album, titled "Don't Sell Your Soul," is a commemorative album for his upcoming visit to the Budokan next year, and is released under the "MSG" name, foreshadowing the classic album "Legend of Soaring: MSG Budokan Live." For Michael, MSG, Budokan, and HR/HM fans, expectations are bound to rise at this point. And Michael's mature guitar playing, which can be heard on this album, is now in a realm worthy of being called divine. Still honing his skills and refining his solo playing, his riff work born from outstanding ideas, and his heartfelt songs?this is truly a culmination of his soul, where mind, technique, and body are all in perfect harmony. Another major point of interest is Swedish vocalist Eric Gr?nwall. He appeared on a TV show as a singer in 2009 and won. After that, he became the vocalist for H.E.A.T. In 2022, he joined Skid Row, and more recently, he has been participating in Michael's tours?a truly exceptional talent. His powerful and soaring voice adds even more brilliance to Michael's songs. Drummer Bodo Schopf, bassist Barend Courbois, and keyboardist Steve Mann are all familiar faces from Michael's tours. They deliver stable performances that demonstrate a solid understanding of Michael's music. Robin McAuley, who has participated in many of his previous works, and singer Roberto Dimitri Liapakis, who is still touring with him, also make guest appearances. In stark contrast to the celebratory atmosphere of the previous work, this album is a masterpiece befitting Michael's release as his band MSG's 45th anniversary and in anticipation of their upcoming Budokan performance. As the title "Don't Sell Your Soul" suggests, Michael continues to soar, staying true to his beliefs. This album, imbued with his soaring spirit, can be said to be the beginning of a new legend for MSG, a gift to all HR/HM fans and guitar fans! ?EA commemorative album for Michael Schenker's Budokan performance!!
