Mike Tramp, the unmistakable voice and principal songwriter of White Lion, has released the final chapter in his heartfelt trilogy, ‘Songs of White Lion – Vol. III’, which is out now via Frontiers Music Srl. This powerful and deeply personal tribute brings closure to a years long project reimagining the classic songs that defined the 1980s melodic hard rock scene. Tramp celebrated the release with the launch of the single “Fight to Survive,” accompanied by an official music video. The song’s meaning is particularly resonant for the singer, who notes the title perfectly captures the struggle the band faced after their initial label refused to release their debut album, stating, “Every time I sing this song, it takes me right back to that moment.”
In this final installment, Tramp revisits and reimagines ten more essential songs from the White Lion catalog, bringing them back to life with a contemporary sound and the authenticity that only decades of experience can deliver. Tramp speaks to the intention of the trilogy, noting, “For me, the point of re recording the old classic White Lion songs was all about letting the audience know HOW the band would sound if they come to see us live. Bringing the sound up today and away from a world no more.” He is once again backed by his trusted bandmates: Marcus Nand on guitar, Claus Langeskov on bass, and Morten Hellborn on drums. This collection is a celebration and a reawakening, spanning from the raw defiance of “Fight To Survive” to the cinematic power of “Warsong,” and the infectious groove of the Golden Earring cover “Radar Love.”
