MAN RAZE, the new rock outfit featuring Collen, Simon Laffy from GIRL and Paul Cook of THE SEX PISTOLS, will release its full-length album, "Surreal", in North America on June 3 via VH1/Fontana South Records.

With regards to the band's sound, Collen who also handles lead vocals told Rolling Stone magazine, "It's a mix. We go from really hard rock, with obviously big guitars, to dub. I was always into the alternative stuff, a very big fan of THE POLICE. And this is edgy a lot more aggressive than DEF LEPPARD."

Audio samples of all tracks that are set to appear on MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP's new album, "In the Midst of Beauty", are available at this location. Due on May 13 via Inakustic GMBH, the CD features returning MSG singer Gary Barden, drummer Simon Philips (THE WHO, TOTO),bassist Neil Murray (BLACK SABBATH, WHITESNAKE) and keyboardist Don Airey (DEEP PURPLE, OZZY OSBOURNE).
