Product Description
Contents This album, the first release under the Michael Schenker Group name in a long time, is a special album commemorating the 40th anniversary of MSG's debut and the 50th anniversary of Michael Schenker's musical career! In addition to artists closely associated with Michael, Joe Lynn Turner, Ronnie Romero, Ralph Scheepers, Brian Tichy, and Derek Sherinian also gather to add to the album's appeal. Of particular note is the re-recorded version of the Scorpions' famous song, "In Search of the Peace of Mind"! The Blu-ray contains 2 hours and 20 minutes of footage of their live performance at the Bang Your Head Festival in Germany, featuring 26 songs. The continuous stream of historically famous songs will bring back the excitement of their performance in Japan! "God (The Return of the Flying Arrow)" was released in 1980. And Michael Schenker wrote "In Search of the Peace of Mind" (from the Scorpions' "Lonesome Crow") in 1970. This means that 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the Michael Schenker Group's debut and the 50th anniversary of Michael's musical career. "Immortal" was produced in this momentous year. Just the fact that it's the first release under the Michael Schenker Group name in a long time shows how special this album is. The artists participating in this special album are also truly special. The vocals are mainly by Ronnie Romero, Joe Lynn Turner, and Michael Foss, with familiar faces such as Gary Barden, Robin McAuley, Dougie White, and even Ralph Scheepers participating. The drums are by Simon Phillips, Bodo Schopf, and Brian Tichy, and the keyboards are by Steve Mann and Derek Sherinian. From familiar faces to surprise musicians, all are top-notch artists who grace Michael's anniversary with their contributions. This album is packed with powerful hard rock tunes and beautiful ballads?truly Michael's signature style?but the highlight is undoubtedly the re-recorded version of "In Search of the Peace of Mind." The way multiple vocalists sing in succession is moving enough on its own, but the grand ending, which wasn't in the original, makes this already dramatic song even more epic. No fan could fail to get goosebumps! "Immortal," an album that condenses 40 years of MSG and 50 years of Michael Schenker's history, is a must-listen for all hard rock/heavy metal fans.
