Award-winning, legendary guitarist Michael Schenker will release a brand new studio album entitled \u201cBridge The Gap\u201d in the UK on Monday December 2nd.\u00a0 Released by in-akustik, the album features Schenker\u2019s band Temple of Rock which consists of ex-Scorpions Herman Rarebell (drums) and Francis Buchholz (bass), plus ex-Rainbow\u2019s Doogie White (vocals) and Wayne Findlay (guitar, keyboards). <\/p>\n

Listen to the world premiere of new song \u201cWhere The Wild Winds Blow\u201d – http:\/\/snd.sc\/18Rlbs0<\/p>\n

The new album features 13 hard-hitting, adrenalin fuelled melodic rock\u2019n\u2019roll songs that showcase Schenker\u2019s distinctive and explosive guitar playing, valiantly underpinned by the ferocious rhythm section of Rarebell and Buchholz, marking the first time Schenker, Rarebell and Buchholz appeared on the same album together since the Scorpions\u2019 1979 \u201cLovedrive\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to combine the old with the new,\u201d says Schenker.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s why the album\u2019s called Bridge The Gap.\u00a0 With Wayne playing 7 string guitar we created some low, heavy modern sounds.\u00a0 Since I play and experiment on a regular basis, I always have some new, fresh sparks to share when I record a new album.\u00a0 I am inspired from within.\u00a0 It\u2019s infinite like a kaleidoscope. <\/p>\n

Continues Schenker – \u201cAs former members of the Scorpions, Herman, Francis and I have been out of the loop of rock\u2019n\u2019roll for quite a while.\u00a0 Getting together for the first time since the Lovedrive album is an incredible jump. We\u2019re connecting the past with the present.\u00a0 We\u2019re bridging the gap.\u201d <\/p>\n
