Episode Details

Gary John Barden unleashes his electrifying new album “Empowered Emotions” on September 18, 2026, proving he’s still the voice of melodic hard rock royalty. Teaming up with longtime producer Michael Voss, Barden channels the epic, riff-heavy glory of his Michael Schenker Group days while injecting a fresh, modern edge. The record’s stacked with legendary guests — Don Airey, Michael Schenker, Brian Tichy, Barry Sparks, and Tommy Denander — adding depth and firepower. The explosive first single “Hit The Ground Running,” inspired by a gritty riff and the film “Angel Heart,” drops now and sets the tone for a bold, passionate return to form. This isn’t just another album — it’s a triumphant, timeless statement from a true rock icon.
