The group’s best-known memberguitarist Michael Schenker, also of Scorpionsmay no longer be on board, but the seminal British hard-rock institution UFO, a band often cited as one of the forefathers of heavy metal, has carried on, touring, re-releasing their classic albums, and recording some new ones that have energized old fans. This year they celebrated their 40th year with a new album, their 20th, The Visitor, which eschews heavy-metal riffing in favor of scorching, bluesy hard rock.
