Expectations have been high for the new MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST-album. One or the other rather average song too much prevents a better rating here which, of course, does not mean that the guitars and the vocal performances (Robin McAuley, Graham Bonnet, Gary Barden, Doogie White) are nothing but fantastic. Nevertheless, the last effort (\u201cResurrection\u201c) was slightly better when it comes down to songwriting, but \u201cRevelation\u201c still is a good hard rock album with a fascinating concept concerning the different vocalists or voices involved. The opening track \u201cRock Steady\u201c is quite average, though, but tracks like \u201cSleeping With The Lights On\u201c, \u201cSilent Again\u201c or \u201cLead You Astray\u201c offer quality songwriting and we don\u2019t have to discuss the amazing talent of MICHAEL SCHENKER on guitar here, have we? The last track, the fast instrumental \u201cAscension\u201c is pure magic and leaves you speechless. Former MSG drummer Bodo Schopf is back in what was called MSG earlier on and most of the material is written by Michael Voss (e.g. CASANOVA, MAD MAX, PHANTOM 5). But what on earth about the artwork? And I\u2019m not (only) talking about he very dark colors. The image is pretty strange as it shows Michael being crucified. Seriously? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
