Under a Blood Red Sun

„Revelation“ was recorded at studios in Germany and California and produced by Schenker and Voss. “Doogie and Gary were with us in Germany,” Schenker says, ”and in Los Angeles we had Robin and Graham and Simon Phillips. This is how you can do it if you need to, with people living all over the world but really, it’s no different to when I was recording „Obsession“ with UFO with the producer sitting in a mobile studio and the drummer being set up in a warehouse communicating via video screen. The most important thing is capturing the character of the musicians and the singers, their groove and personality. It‘s the chemistry of all musicians involved. All the energy I put into those different line-ups from the past, it’s now combined into one band, all of that energy collected into the centre and makes the whole album very powerful.”

Michael Schenker is a legendary figure in rock, one of the most gifted and influential guitarists of all time. His work with Scorpions, UFO and the Michael Schenker Group made him a hero to millions of fans and inspired a generation of musicians, including Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, and Slash of Guns N’ Roses. And with Michael Schenker Fest, an ambitious and unorthodox project featuring four singers with whom he has worked since 1979 – Gary Barden, Graham Bonnet, Robin McAuley and Doogie White – the drive to create new music is based on the same ethos that has shaped Schenker’s whole career, ever since he recorded his first album “Lonesome Crow” with the Scorpions in 1970 at age 15.
