Bio:
Michael Bormann is a German vocalist. Since the first recording he had made with a band, he has been involved with several groups as their lead vocalist, having accepted contracts to record his vocals on albums rather than being a full time member of the bands. However, he was a founding and longtime member of Germany's hard rock band, Jaded Heart.Bormann's first step into the music scene was a high school band that he and his brother Dirk formed called High Voltage. The group changed their name to T.A.X. and then that evolved into Jaded Heart. His first chance at being with a "made band" was in 1993 when Gaby Hauke (Accept fame) called up Bormann to ask if he was interested in joining Bonfire. His time with the band was short lived as the band went their separate ways in 1994. By then, Jaded Heart had released their first album so he was still in the music spotlight. Worth noting, Bormann and ex-Bonfire mate Angel Schleifer reunited three years later as Charade.Bormann carried on with Jaded Heart while still maintaining involvement in other projects until 2004. After the release of the band's seventh album, the group fired him. He proceeded to continue with his solo career while also being the owner of his own recording studio, RMB Rock-Studios, in Duisburg, Germany. He was nominated for a few categories for the 50th and 51st Grammy Awards in 2008 and 2009. Through the years, Bormann has worked with noted musicians such as J.R. Blackmore (son of Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple and Rainbow), Jochen 'Zeno' Roth (brother of Uli John Roth of Scorpions fame), Jos Zoomer (from Vandenberg) and Anette Blyckert of Alyson Avenue and Nightwish.In 2013, after working together in the band The Sygnet (from 1997 to 2000), Bormann joined guitarist Alex Beyrodt and drummer André Hilgers in the band Silent Force replacing previous vocalist D.C. Cooper. The first Silent Force album with Bormann as vocalist is called Rising From Ashes and was released in 2013.
Album:
Michael Bormann's Jaded Hard will release their new studio album SOUTH WEST on October 2, 2026.The first video single from the album is scheduled to arrive on September 28.SOUTH WEST delivers melodic hard rock built around powerful guitars, memorable melodies and strong choruses. The album combines the classic spirit of 1980s hard rock with a modern production approach while preserving the unmistakable musical identity associated with Michael Bormann.Featuring 11 new songs, SOUTH WEST continues the direction established on previous releases by MICHAEL BORMANN’S JADED HARD. The record showcases the band’s current lineup and offers a diverse collection of melodic rock songs firmly rooted in the traditions of hard rock.Michael Bormann has been active as a singer, songwriter and musician since the late 1980s. In 1990, he founded Jaded Heart and became one of the key figures behind the band’s musical development until their split in 2004. After years of international recording projects and collaborations, an idea originally conceived as a retrospective collection celebrating Jaded Heart’s 1990 to 2004 era gradually evolved into the current MICHAEL BORMANN’S JADED HARD project in 2017.With SOUTH WEST, Michael Bormann and his band continue that journey with a fresh studio album that brings together classic melodic hard rock influences and a contemporary sound.
