HARDLINE will release a live album & video, “Life Live” on February 14th!

by | Jan 23, 2020 | New Releases, New Video, News

Hardline’s performance at Frontiers Rock Festival 2019 was, any hyperbole aside, one of a kind. The band not only performed a superb show, but also saw none other than original drummer Deen Castronovo jump behind the kit to play on selected tracks from the band’s debut album.

Hardline has been consistently touring in Europe the past few years and are a well oiled live machine. The show they put on at the legendary Live Club in Trezzo Sull’Adda has been hailed by many as one of their best in recent memory. With a solid rhythm section featuring powerhouse drummer Marco Di Salvia and Anna Portalupi, the multi-talented Alessandro Del Vecchio on keyboards and background vocals, stellar new guitarist Mario Percudani, and of course the inimitable Johnny Gioeli on vocals, Hardline rocked out hits from their debut album and played a selection of more recent hits from the last three albums. 

The band says, “We are so excited to share our Hardline performance that was filmed and recorded live at the Frontiers Rock Festival 2019 We’ve always appreciated our work in the studio, but magic happens when we take the stage. We’ve wanted to capture the true essence and power of this line-up so that fans who can’t reach us in person can finally see us in the comfort of their home. “LIFE LIVE” speaks to the chemistry, fun and musical power we love to share with our audience. “Life,” our newest album, was released on the same weekend as the festival, which made an exciting preview of the songs in a packed house environment. We were amazed to hear the crowd’s reaction to the new songs and we knew at that moment, we made something special. Sit back, relax and enjoy one of our most memorable shows, and cherish with us a moment in time for all to remember. Hardline…..always moving forward…thanks to all the amazing fans around the world.”

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce that SEMBLANT will release their Frontiers’ debut, “Obscura”

by | Jan 17, 2020 | New Releases, New Video, News

One of the rapidly rising stars of their scene in South America, Semblant is more than ready for the world stage. The band received international praise from the metal community with the release of the album “Lunar Manifesto” (2014), with the singles “What Lies Ahead”, “Dark of the Day,” and “Incinerate” combining for more than 30 million views on YouTube. Now, Semblant are ready for the next phase of their career with the upcoming release of the highly anticipated album “Obscura”.

The band formed in 2006 in Curitiba, Brazil when singer Sergio Mazul and keyboardist J. Augusto joined forces to create music that featured all the dark and aggressive elements they appreciated and loved in metal music. After a few years of changing line-ups, the group established itself with the addition of Mizuho Lin (female vocals), Juliano Ribeiro (guitar), Welyntom “Thor” Sikora (drums), and Johann Piper (bass) to the band.

Vocalist Mizuho Lin says, “It’s an honor to be part of such a traditional label like Frontiers. We’ve been composing and preparing ourselves for at least two years to finally get ‘Obscura’ ready and we’re super excited to begin this new era working together with the label!”

Singer Sergio Mazul adds. “We’re really excited to start this amazing new era of Semblant with Frontiers. Besides my doom, gothic, thrash and death influences, I’m a great enthusiast of all kinds of hard rock and heavy metal, having collected a lot of titles released by the label. They’ve been doing amazing work worldwide with new bands and Semblant will surely figure as a new jolt of energy to Frontiers’ roster, with our dark and more extreme influences in our songs. And we’re sure that Frontiers will make the same for us, taking the band to another level. ‘Obscura’ will strike the world in 2020 and we’re counting the days to introduce our new album to everyone!”

Frontiers is thrilled to welcome Semblant to our rapidly expanding metal roster and to bring their incredible talents to metalheads around the globe.

Khymera will release their new studio album, “Master Of Illusions” on March 6th!

by | Jan 15, 2020 | New Releases, News

While KHYMERA started out as an alliance between Italian producer/musician, Daniele Liverani and then KANSAS singer Steve Walsh, it developed into a regular musical project when bassist and producer Dennis Ward (Magnum, ex-Pink Cream 69) entered the fold.

While known as a bassist, Dennis always sang background vocals with his bands, so he was more than ready and willing to take over the lead vocals on the Khymera albums “A New Promise,” “The Greatest Wonder,” and “The Grand Design”. While Khymera has been on hiatus for some time, Dennis is ready to come back with a new album, “Master of Illusions”, which comes about four years after the release of the last album, “The Greatest Wonder”.

Musically, the new album very much follows the logical progression of the musical path that was started when Dennis joined the project. “Master of Illusions” is a strong, extremely melodic release, which showcases the fantastic vocal abilities of Dennis and highlights his great skills as a songwriter and producer.

Khymera still offers one of the most shining examples of what great European melodic rock is all about: crystal clear production, soaring vocals, killer musicianship and songwriting that reminds fans of the heydays of the genre when bands like Giuffria, Icon, and Signal roamed the Earth.

Pre-orders are available now. https://radi.al/MasterofIllusions 

Tracklist:
1. Walk Away
2. The First Time
3. Master Of Illusions
4. The Sun Goes Down
5. Paradise
6. The Rhythm Of My Life
7. Follow The Sun
8. Father To Son
9. After All This Time
10. Victim Of Your Love
11. Let It Happen

Line-up:
Vocals and Bass – Dennis Ward
Guitars – Michael Klein
Keyboards – Eric Ragno
Drums – Pete Newdeck
