Robin McAuley - 'Soulbound' (official music video)

My thoughts
A sworn enemy And I know
It’s poisoning

But you
Pull me in when I start
Spiraling through emptiness
Reaching the edge yeah you
Bring me strength to stay calm
Every time you come through

Chorus
I found serenity
‘Cause every time I go dancing
With demons you’re around
Embracing me
You’re the stronghold
When I am in need

My ways
Could easily be
A dead race
Such a hopeless trait

But you
Lift me up and I know
When my eyes are clouded
You guide me ashore yeah you
Keep me safe from my own
Self blaming animosity

Chorus
I found serenity
‘Cause every time I go dancing
With demons you’re around
Embracing me
You’re the stronghold when I am in need
We’re SoulBound
Serenity
Every time I go dancing
With demons you’re around
Embracing me
You’re the stronghold when I am in need

But you
Pull me in when I start
Spiraling through emptiness
Reaching the edge yeah you
Bring me strength to stay calm
Every time you come through

Chorus
I found serenity
‘Cause every time I go dancing
With demons you’re around
Embracing me
You’re the stronghold
When I am in need

Chorus X2
I found serenity
‘Cause every time I go dancing
With demons you’re around
Embracing me
You’re the stronghold when
I am in need
We’re SoulBound
Serenity
Every time I go dancing
With demons you’re around
Embracing me
You’re the stronghold
When I am in Need

We’re SoulBound...
We’re SoulBound

Ο Robin McAuley δεν νομίζω ότι χρειάζεται διαίτερες συστάσεις. Ιρλανδός τραγουδιστής γνωστός κυρίως από την συνεργασία του με τον (τιτάνα) Michael Schenker στους MSG (McAuley Schenker Group) από το 1986 έως το 1983 και στους Michael Schenker Fest. Τον ακούμε επίσης στους Survivor, GMT, Grand Prix, Far Corporation, Black Swan.

Το 1999 κυκλοφόρησε το παρθενικό προσωπικό του δίσκο υπό τον τίτλο "Business as Usual". Ο διάδοχός του ("Standing on the Edge") "βγήκε" προ τετραετίας και το τρίτο solo album ("Alive") πρόπερσι. Ο διάδοχός του βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. "Soulbound" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται την τελευταία (ημερολογιακά) ημέρα του χειμώνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the upcoming release of legendary rock vocalist Robin McAuley's new solo album, "Soulbound". This new album sees McAuley's voice continuing to defy time and sounding as inspired and powerful as ever.

The new album is definitively more guitars driven compared to the previous albums and the music itself is more straight hard rock than his previous effort, but still wonderfully melodic, infectious, and fist-in-the-air uplifting.

McAuley's continues to showcase the desire of the respected Irish rock singer to make a strong musical statement in a period that was more creative than ever for him.

After reemerging on the recording side of the music industry with guest spots on Michael Schenker Fest albums and tours and fronting the hard rock supergroup Black Swan, McAuley was (and still is) feeling invigorated and ready to explore even more creative output to let the world see that his voice was (and, again, still is) as powerful as ever.

Work for "Soulbound" began on early 2024, following an intense musical period in between tour dates and studio work, with a slightly different approach compared to the previous album and Robin’s vocal performance on this album is simply oustanding.

"Soulbound" delivers the more hard and heavy aspects of this respected artist, truly an iconic voice of the genre! Robin's backing band include some of the previous artists appeared with him on the previous effort, including guitarist Andrea Seveso, together with some new talent “a such as guitarist Alessandro Mammola and drummer Alfonso Mocerino.

The album is produced by Aldo Lonobile. Robin McAuley is widely recognized as one of the great singers of a golden period in hard rock music. His voice can be heard on albums from Grand Prix and Far Corporation, and of course on the chart topping MSG records “Perfect Timing,” “Save Yourself,” and “MSG”.

Through these releases, he was introduced to hard rock fans around the globe, who no doubt recognized the inherent talent and skill in his vocal abilities.

Once he departed MSG, he released one solo record in 1999, then joined AOR legends Survivor, and then re-grouped with Schenker in Michael Schenker Fest on their recent records "Resurrection" and "Revelation".

And of course, in what was an absolute revelation to hard rock fans around the world, in 2020, he came out swingin' as the frontman of the supergroup Black Swan, where he joined forces with Reb Beach (Whitesnake, Winger), Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, ex-Dokken), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr Big).»
