The release date of the of the new spectacular all-star project by Austria’s rock legend Klaus Schubert album 'Commander OF Pain' on CD is June 29th, 2018. The pre-order phase will start on June 15th, 2018 in Pure Steel Webshop.
SCHUBERT IN ROCK, inaugurated by Klaus Schubert, lead guitarist and mastermind of NO BROS, is going to the next level. Back in 2013, SCHUBERT assembled some of the most legendary international rock artists and long-time friends to record new versions of NO BROS’ greatest hits. Among those involved were Tony Martin (BLACK SABBATH), Biff Byford (SAXON), Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE), Marc Storace (KROKUS), Doogie White (RAINBOW), Bernie Marsden (WHITESNAKE), Neil Murray (BLACK SABBATH, BRIAN MAY) and Don Airey (DEEP PURPLE). The riveting project turned out to be a huge success and culminated in a sensational sell-out show at the Congress concert hall in Innsbruck.
Just like it did five years ago, the new SCHUBERT IN ROCK project features some of the world’s most sought-after heavy metal musicians, marking yet another milestone in Austrian rock music. The new album, Commander of Pain due in June 2018, introduces a number of entirely new songs, all of them tailor-made for each artist while remaining true to SCHUBERTs distinctive sonic signature.
The line-up is pretty impressive: Marc Storace (KROKUS), Don Airey (Deep Purple), Jennifer Batten (MICHAEL JACKSON, JEFF BECK), Carl Sentance (NAZARETH), Jeff Scott Soto (SONS OF APOLLO, JOURNEY, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), Doogie White (RAINBOW, MICHAEL SCHENKER), Michael Vescera (Y. J. MALMSTEEN, LOUDNESS, OBSESSION), Dan McCafferty (former frontman of NAZARETH) as well as local friends like Ewald Pfleger from the international chartbreakers OPUS.
Main band members: Klaus Schubert (guitars), Walt Stuefer (vox), Andy Marberger (bass guitar, backing vocals), Bernie Welz (drums) and Andy J. Brunner (keyboards).

BIOGRAPHY
It’s one of the greatest experiences for a musician to record an album of his own songs together with his musical favourites and to perform those songs live on stage. I feel honoured to live this craziness!
The idea for the project SCHUBERT IN ROCK has been in my mind for many years: an All-star project with the best ones of the international Hard & Heavy scene, with whom NO BROS were on tour already years before.
Right at the beginning of the year 2013 the time was right and I contacted my favourites – MARC STORACE, BIFF BYFORD, TONY MARTIN, DOOGIE WHITE, JOE LYNN TURNER, BERNIE MARSDEN, NEIL MURRAY & DON AIREY – to present my idea. All of them were thrilled to be asked and confirmed their participation in the project.
The result of their enthusiasm can be heard on the album SCHUBERT IN ROCK (2014).
