After two very successful releases with Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons and countless live shows with rock giants like Guns N' Roses among others, legendary long-time Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell is currently laying down the finishing touches to his first-ever solo record.

Commented Campbell: "I'm really happy to release my first solo album, Old Lions Still Roar, worldwide. I'm also honoured to have mega talented guests and friends do their thing. Looking forward to everyone taking a listen!"

Old Lions Still Roar will include performances by rock heavyweights like Alice Cooper, Dee Snider and Rob Halford among others and is set to be released later this year via Nuclear Blast Records. More details to be released soon.
