Following the rebirth of the band that happened with the release of \u201cDanger Zone\u201d in 2012, Hardline have regrouped around fabulous singer Johnny Gioeli (AXEL RUDI PELL OFFICIAL SITE) with the excellent production and keyboard skills of Alessandro Del Vecchio (Rated X, Resurrection Kings, Revolution Saints), the shredding talents of guitarist Josh Ramos (The Storm), and the powerful rhythm section made up of bassist Anna Portalupi (Tarja Turunen) and drummer Francesco Jovino (Primal Fear, JORN). All these musicians have an impressive pedigree, but what makes Hardline special is how well their unique and different talents blend together.
The goal for their new album was to have a heavier and updated version of the original Hardline sound. Think debut album, 1992’s \u201cDouble Eclipse\u201d updated for the 21st Century, with a grittier and more straight ahead sound. Anthemic, hard rocking songs are what you can expect from this record and hook after hook, riff after riff, you\u2019ll find yourself wowed by this absolute monster of an album!<\/p>\n

When Gioeli and Del Vecchio got together to begin writing songs for the album, \u201c[T]he plan was to create an album that emulates the feeling of “Double Eclipse” combined with the dynamics of modern day rock. Very heavy and in your face, but still with hitting melodies,\u201d says Johnny. \u201cI have a tremendous amount of Axel Rudi Pell fans that know me for the way I deliver a metal song too. So yes, it\u2019s definitely the heaviest we have done since the debut. I see this album as the perfect mix of styles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a producer I pushed everyone to squeeze these songs and put as much attitude as we could on tape,\u201d adds Alessandro Del Vecchio. \u201cWe wanted more of an in-your-face attitude than our softer albums. I think we understood we had something special in our hands when we finished \u201cTake You Home\u201d. Even if it’s the ballad of the album I guess it’s the focal point of the musical bond that Johnny and myself share with the whole band.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guys put their heart and soul into their performances,\u201d concludes Johnny \u201cYou can hear the essence of every drum strike and the sweat hitting the drums shortly after. Do it again, Cesco! HARDER, HARDER! Josh, Anna and Ale wouldn\u2019t stop until their fingers said \u201cenough\u201d\u2026and then\u2026\u2026we did it again and again. That\u2019s rock and roll man. Songs like \u201cWhere Will We Go From Here,\u201d \u201cHuman Nature\u201d and \u201cTake you Home,\u201d to me they are the essence of what I LOVE to sing and HOW I love to sing!\u201d<\/p>\n
