The release of the new album will coincide with his European tour which was announced earlier. Satriani will take the stages of Europe alongside bassist Bryan Beller, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte and will play new material alongside songs from former albums such as Surfing With The Alien and Flying In A Blue Dream. The first date is April 15 in Mainz, Germany.

In addition to the new upcoming album, Satriani also released a deluxe edition of 1987 Surfing With The Alien on digital platforms. The new version includes the original tracks and 10 bonus songs as well as new artwork.

Satriani’s induction to the Metal Hall of Fame will be handed by Seve Vai. he will be inducted into the hall next to Graham Bonnet, Stephen Pearcy, Geoff Tate, Don Dokken, Chris Poland, Prong, Stone City Attractions, and Metal Church.

Campbell has gathered an impressive pack of old lions to collaborate with for the album, including Alice Cooper, Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe), guitar legend Joe Satriani, Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and Rob Halford (Judas Priest). 

“I couldn’t believe the incredible players that spent some time on the record for me,” Campbell said to Andrew McKaysmith on his podcast, Scars and Guitars. “I’m the luckiest guy in the world in that respect. Mega talent all the way through it, helping me out when I needed help. I’ve got no complaints whatsoever.”

On the making of the album, Campbell said: “I wouldn’t say [it was] 20 years in the making, but 20 years I’ve been yearning to do a solo album. Since Motörhead, sadly, finished, I’ve had more time to think about [it] and to knuckle down and everything. I probably started the first recording of it about two and a half, three years ago.”

The songs we’ve heard from the upcoming release all sound great and distinctly different from the established Motörhead formula. “I just didn’t want to do an album sounding like Motörhead,” Campbell explained. “I’ve done 20-odd albums like that.”
