Архив новостей | Русская версия
American/Italian hard rock veterans HARDLINE, led by vocalist Johnny Gioeli (also frontman of the AXEL RUDI PELL band),will release a new studio album, "Shout", on April 17, 2026 via Steamhammer/SPV.
It's impossible to tell the full story of "Shout" without mentioning HARDLINE's 1992 classic "Double Eclipse". After all, that was the moment when this exceptional hard rock act's unique artistic DNA was created, its first draft already almost perfect. Since then, HARDLINE has brought out six more studio albums, each one of them considered to be a highlight of the genre.
"Shout" sees the band featuring Gioeli and his Italian teammates, keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio (VANDEN PLAS, JORN),guitarist Luca Princiotta, bassist Anna Portalupi and drummer Marco Di Salvia, take up where their 1992 masterpiece left off.
Gioeli comments: "Our current album features our typical choruses and the classic songwriting style of 'Double Eclipse', supported by a contemporary production and state-of-the-art sound. The album gives you that feeling you get when you roll down your car window and turn up the radio on full blast."
He adds: "This band doesn't want to reinvent its music. HARDLINE is HARDLINE, and our fans know what to expect from us!"
The debut single "Rise Up" is the first representative of the new album, a perfect foretaste of the album which spews the historical, current and future melodic consistency of HARDLINE. You can watch the accompanying music video here.
