Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the upcoming release of legendary rock vocalist ROBIN MCAULEY’s new solo album, ‘Soulbound.’ This new album sees MCAULEY’s voice continuing to defy time, sounding as inspired and powerful as ever. The new album is definitively more guitar-driven straight hard rock compared to his previous albums and is still wonderfully melodic, infectious, and fist-in-the-air uplifting.
MCAULEY comments on ‘Soulbound’:
“I can’t wait to share Record #3 with you all from Frontiers Music SRL. ‘Soulbound’ is a much edgier, harder guitar-driven record than my previous two for the label. In addition, I’m working with a new producer from the Frontiers label, Aldo Lonobile, who brought these songs to life with his Kick-Ass production.
“PLAY IT LOUD !!!!! I think you’re gonna Luv It!!!!”
‘Soulbound’ showcases the respected Irish rock singer’s desire to make a strong musical statement in what is proving to be his most creative period. To kick the announcement off, MCAULEY is also sharing the album’s first track, “‘Til I Die” alongside a new music video, available below.
About the single, MCAULEY shared this:
“We had so much fun shooting this mini-movie with the great production team of Enzo Mazzeo and Eric Boadello. ”Til I Die’ comes at you right out the gate with heavy drums and biting guitars as I race across the Western wasteland to escape the unknown demons and images haunting me and determined to track me down. It’s a race for survival at all costs.
After reemerging on the recording side of the music industry with guest spots on Michael Schenker Fest albums and tours in addition to fronting the hard rock supergroup Black Swan, MCAULEY was (and still is) feeling invigorated and ready to explore even more creative output to let the world see that his voice is still as powerful as ever.
Work for ‘Soulbound’ began in early 2024, following an intense musical period in between tour dates and studio work. With a slightly different production approach compared to the previous album, ROBINâs vocal performance here is simply outstanding. Truly an iconic voice of the genre, ‘Soulbound’ solidly delivers the more hard and heavy aspects of this respected artist.
ROBIN’s backing band includes some of the previous artists who appeared with him on previous efforts, including guitarist Andrea Seveso, as well as some new talent such as guitarist Alessandro Mammola and drummer Alfonso Mocerino.
‘Soulbound’ is produced by Aldo Lonobile.

Robin McAuley is widely recognized as one of the great singers of a golden period in hard rock music. His voice can be heard on albums from Grand Prix and Far Corporation, and of course, on the chart-topping MSG records ‘Perfect Timing,’ ‘Save
Yourself,’ and ‘MSG.’ Through these releases, he was introduced to hard rock fans around the globe, who no doubt recognized the inherent talent and skill in his vocal abilities.
Once he departed MSG, McAuley released one solo record in 1999, then joined AOR
legends Survivor. He then re-grouped with Schenker in Michael Schenker Fest on their recent records ‘Resurrection’ and ‘Revelation,’ And of course, in what was an absolute revelation to hard rock fans around the world, in 2020, he came out swingin’ as the frontman of the supergroup Black Swan, where he joined forces with Reb Beach (Whitesnake, Winger), Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, ex-Dokken), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr Big).
