‘In Vertigo’ marks a bold new chapter in SHIRAZ LANE’s evolution. It’s an ambitious, modern, and emotionally charged rock album born from relentless creativity, exploration and collaboration.

'In Vertigo' was produced and co-written once again by longtime collaborator Per Aldeheim(Def Leppard, H.E.A.T, Pain). Packed with razor-sharp hooks, soaring melodies and high-octane attitude, 'In Vertigo' pushes the band’s sound into exciting new territory, fusing pop-metal energy with a modern production edge and fearless genre crossovers.

Preceded by the explosive singles “Dangerous,” “Bullsh!t,” and the emotionally charged “Plastic Heart,” the album showcases SHIRAZ LANE’s evolution while staying true to their raw rock roots.

With Aldeheim’s polished yet powerful production and standout performances by Hannes Kett (vocals), Jani Laine (lead guitar), Miki Kalske (rhythm guitar), Joel Alex (bass), and Ana Vilkkumaa (drums), 'In Vertigo' is the band’s most daring and dynamic release to date.

Brilliantly unpredictable and unapologetically melodic, 'In Vertigo' proves that SHIRAZ LANEis not just riding the wave of modern melodic rock, they’re reshaping it!

Pre-Order 'In Vertigo' HERE

Hailing from Vantaa, Finland, SHIRAZ LANE started their musical journey in 2011. Their vision of a perfect blend of sonic combustion and elegant delicacy started to blossom and reach its potential when the current line-up was solidified in 2014 and the band released their first EP'Be The Slave Or Be The Change.'

The band gained great international attention from the very beginning, and soon the young Finns were flying from Japan to South America, playing in Europe’s coolest clubs & summer festivals and had their warm first contact also with the US audience on the Monsters of Rockcruise.

SHIRAZ LANE resonates through their double-edged guitar sound (provided by Jani Laineand Miki Kalske), percussive ground-pounding clockwork (Ana Vilkkumaa, drums & Joel Alex, bass) and the supersonic melodies chanted by lead singer Hannes Kett. They are one of the most intriguing and entertaining bands in the current Hard Rock scene, bringing in a fresh breeze in terms of both compositions and live performance.

In addition to their debut EP, other most notable releases include the albums 'For Crying Out Loud,' 'Carnival Days,' 'Vibration I,' 'Forgotten Shades Of Life' and 'Acoustic Archives.'

Although wearing inspiration and paying homage to their predecessors, the sound and style of SHIRAZ LANE is unique, bold and contemporary. This has manifested in collaborations such as extensive international touring (sharing stages with bands such as KISS, Deep Purple, H.E.A.T & Crashdïet), national TV appearances, the gaming world and, most importantly, an exponentially growing & dedicated fanbase around the world.

Frontiers Music Srl Welcomes Rock Icon JOHN CORABI to Its Artist Roster

July 21, 2025

Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the signing of legendary rock vocalist JOHN CORABI to its roster of iconic artists.

Known for his powerful voice and rich legacy with bands like Mötley Crüe, The Dead Daisies, Union, and The Scream, CORABI is looking forward to releasing new music in collaboration with producer/songwriter Marti Frederiksen.

He promises an organic 60’s-70’s style record and can’t wait to get back on the road with a talented solo band featuring his son Ian on drums, and a few great friends.

JOHN expressed his excitement by saying:

“I’m thankful to Frontiers Records for the opportunity to give you guys some new music!! I’ve been writing and recording with my good pal Marti Frederiksen here in Nashville, and I can’t wait for you to hear it all!”

Tom Lipsky, Head of A&R of North America for Frontiers Label Group, commented:

“It is exciting to bring JOHN into the Frontiers Label Group. He has fans around the world, and he is respected by the artist community as a musician, singer and songwriter. JOHN’s new music will take his accomplished career to an even higher level”.

JOHN CORABI is a journeyman singer-songwriter and guitarist who burst onto the music scene with Hollywood Records recording artists The Scream in 1991. Touring extensively throughout the United States on the strength of their songs “Man In The Moon," “I Believe In Me," and “Father Mother Son," JOHN attracted the attention of radio, MTV, fans, and critics alike.

Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx reached out to JOHN after the departure of Vince Neil in 1992 and asked him to join the band for the writing and recording of their 1994 self-titled record. During the recording process of the follow-up 'Generation Swine' album in late 1996, Vince Neil returned to the band, and JOHN started the band Union with former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick.

Union headed into a studio to record their debut self-titled album in 1998. With Union, JOHNreleased three albums between 1998 and 2001. Afterwards, JOHN left Union to join the band RATT on their 2001 summer tour, handling guitar and backing vocal duties. Touring constantly from 2001 - 2008, JOHN eventually left the band to go out on his own.

JOHN has released the acoustic album 'Unplugged' in 2012 and a live album, “Live 94, One Night In Nashville,' in 2018, as well as multiple original and tribute singles. JOHN received a phone call in 2015 to join the all-star collective called The Dead Daisies, and has since recorded the albums 'Revolución,' 'Make Some Noise,' 'Live And Louder,' 'Burn It Down,' 'Light Em’ Up,' and a recently released blues covers record 'Looking For Trouble.'

For the last ten years, with The Dead Daisies and as a solo acoustic artist, JOHN has toured extensively in Europe, the United States, Japan, South America, Australia, and the United Kingdom, playing all the major festivals and selling out shows to a growing, loyal fan base.

With his 2022 autobiography “Horseshoes And Hand Grenades," and 19 full-length records under his belt, spanning a 35-year career, JOHN is anxious to release record number 20, and play the new songs live. The future looks bright for JOHN!

New Recording Artist AUSTEN STARR Releases Debut Single "I Am The Enemy" + Music Video

July 16, 2025

Having recently signed to Frontiers Music Srl, rising rocker AUSTEN STARR is elated to release her debut single "I Am The Enemy" alongside a music video, available to view below. With this striking debut single, AUSTEN STARR sets the stage for what promises to be an ambitious and emotionally charged musical journey.

AUSTEN STARR comments on signing to Frontiers:

“I'm very excited and very grateful to be working with Frontiers. Despite me being a brand-new artist, they were highly supportive of my vision and they gave me free reign in terms of artistic expression. It's really, really cool of a label to do that for a debut. Thank you, Frontiers!”

On the new single, she adds:

"’I Am The Enemy’ leans slightly into 'pop,' but has been a favorite of everyone involved in the project, and the timing seemed right for a summer release to be this upbeat and deceptively saccharine. The video intends to show the dichotomy that exists around my desire to live within this 'rockstar' persona; one side is really tortured about it and the other is excited about it. The version of me that you see on the Viper Room stage is the culmination and resolution of those two parts.”

Watch the Music Video for “I Am The Enemy"

About AUSTEN STARR:

AUSTEN STARR is a reluctant Bostonian with a penchant for self-induced misery. A natural contrarian, she was raised in a household where being a musician was the last thing she was encouraged to do—so, of course, AUSTEN recorded an album with the help of some heavy-hitters from Frontiers and beyond. While AUSTEN considers herself to be an “anxious wreck,” she’s channeled her inner turmoil and contradictions into a compelling musical statement. AUSTEN's penchant for hypocrisy is almost as defined as her narrative voice. After all, she admits both to hating bad grammar and to using it in one of her own songs because it fits the meter. When she’s not rocking out on stage or recording, AUSTEN is learning guitar, embracing "emo karaoke nights," and forging ahead with a relentless, albeit trepidatious, determination to carve out her place in the music world.

BAND LINE UP:

Vocals: Austen Starr

Guitars: Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake, Revolution Saints, Iconic, Cher, Trans-Siberian Orchestra)

Bass/Drums: Chris Collier (Mick Mars, Lita Ford)

Keyboards: Steve Ferlazzo (Hugo's Voyage, Avril Lavigne)

Background Vocals: Chloe Lowery (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)

Commenting on the new album, GLENN stated:

“Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and l generally write and record when I have something to say. It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, 'Resonate.' There have been recordings and collaborations with other artists since 2016.

“When writing 'Chosen,' I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith, and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!"

Vocalist, bassist, and songwriter GLENN HUGHES is a true original. No other rock musician has so distinctively blended the finest elements of hard rock, soul, and funk. His astonishing voice is his calling card; he's known as a singer's singer.

Pre-Order 'Chosen' HERE

GLENN HUGHES, a native of Cannock, England, absorbed all kinds of influences, including early British hard rock, The Beatles, and, most importantly, American soul and R&B. The sleek Motown sound from Detroit and the gritty Stax/Volt sound from Memphis also left their mark on him.

GLENN HUGHES first found success in the early '70s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal lineup change that introduced him and David Coverdaleto the group. Despite initial skepticism, the revamped band silenced critics with the release of‘Burn’ (1974), a powerful album that revitalized Purple’s sound and remains a classic.

During this era, the band headlined the iconic California Jam in front of over 300,000 fans, toured the world aboard their private jet, The Starship, and released two more studio albums, ‘Stormbringer’ and ‘Come Taste The Band,’ before disbanding in 1976.

GLENN's first solo album, ‘Play Me Out,’ was released in 1977. He joined former Pat Traversguitarist Pat Thrall to form Hughes/Thrall, which released an acclaimed self-titled album in 1982. Throughout the '80s and '90s, GLENN HUGHES made countless guest appearances (both credited and un-credited) as a vocalist, bass guitarist or songwriter on other artists' albums. The endless list includes, among others, Gary Moore, John Norum, and Tony Iommiof Black Sabbath.

Since 1992, GLENN has started a prolific solo career with a dozen studio albums where he explored all the different sides of his songwriting and influences: from hard rock to funk and more contemporary sounds. He collaborated – among others – with such musicians as Chad Smith, Dave Navarro, John Frusciante, and many others.

HUGHES also founded, or took part in, some amazing musical alliances such as California Breed (with Jason Bonham and Andrew Watt), Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa) and The Dead Daisies.

GLENN recently collaborated with Robbie Williams on his new single “Rocket,” which was released on May 22nd, 2025. The track also features a collaboration from Tony Iommi and will be the first time GLENN has been featured on a record with Tony since 2005, when they released “Fused” together.

GLENN HUGHES has also recently joined forces with Satch Vai, a new collaboration by legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, by writing and singing on their new single “I Wanna Play My Guitar.”

Melodic Hard Rockers LAGUNA Release Debut Album 'The Ghost Of Katrina' — Out Now via Frontiers Music Srl

July 13, 2025

Melodic hard rockers LAGUNA are excited to announce the release of their debut album, 'The Ghost Of Katrina,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. In addition, the focus track, “Electric High,” is out now accompanied by a visualizer, available to view below.

Vocalist Andrés Espada describes the focus track:

“This song is an unrelenting, high-octane ride from start to finish, with intensity cranked up to ten. It's all about unleashing raw energy, losing control, and breaking down doors.”

Watch the Visualizer for “Electric High"

Hailing from the northern part of Mexico, from the arid desert of Torreón, Coahuila, LAGUNA is a five-piece hard rock band ready to take the world by storm with their debut album, ‘The Ghost Of Katrina.’

Drawing from the European and Scandinavian melodic hard rock scene, LAGUNA’s sound is an electrifying blend of powerful production, anthemic choruses, and in-your-face guitar riffs deriving from influences like One Desire, H.E.A.T., and other renowned acts from the scene.

'The Ghost Of Katrina' is produced by Jimmy Westerlund (known for his work with One Desire and more recently Giant), and perfectly captures LAGUNA's high-energy and dynamic style, bringing to life a heavy yet melodic sound that's both thrilling and emotionally charged. The songs feature strong hooks, vibrant instrumentation, and an intensity that reflects the band’s unrelenting passion for hard rock.

Order 'The Ghost Of Katrina' HERE

Formed in 2018 by a group of hard rock and heavy metal enthusiasts, LAGUNA’s sound is rooted in hard rock but with a distinctive modern twist. Their music is crafted to make listeners scream at the top of their lungs and throw their fists into the air – a perfect soundtrack for anyone who craves a high-octane, fist-pumping experience.

LAGUNA’s meteoric rise is a testament to their tireless dedication to their craft. Over the years, they have built a solid reputation in the North and Latin American rock circuits, performing at major festivals like Hell and Heaven Fest (one of Latin America's biggest rock festivals) and the infamous KnotFest. The band has had the privilege of opening for iconic acts such asW.A.S.P., Timo Tolkki, and The Warning, further solidifying their place in the international rock scene.

LAGUNA’s music is a reflection of the barren desert from which they hail – a place where resilience and tenacity are born out of hardship. As guitarist José Mesta explains, “Long before it was a desert, it was a lagoon, but dried out thousands of years ago, leaving nothing but snakes and rats, yet deep down beneath the surface, water flows through the caverns of this great desert”. This metaphor speaks to the essence of LAGUNA – a band born from the depths of hardship, yet ready to rise with the power and energy that only hard rock can bring.

LAGUNA is set to make waves across the global rock scene. Their blend of melodic hooks, heavy riffs, and explosive energy will leave listeners craving more. This is only the beginning for LAGUNA, and they are poised to continue proving that Mexicans can indeed rock!

US Melodic Rockers DOUBLE VISION Release Self-Titled Album of All Original Material — Out Now via Frontiers Music Srl

July 11, 2025

Today, US melodic rockers DOUBLE VISION take a bold step forward with the release of their new self-titled album of all original material, out now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate, DOUBLE VISION has released the focus track "Prison Of Illusion," which comes alongside a visualizer, available below.

About the new single, lead singer Chandler Mogel comments:

“This is the opening song on the album, and one of the first songs we wrote for it (along with Aleena Gibson who co-wrote half of the record with us!). A big energetic, ballsy track, with a modern edge, huge chorus - and Tony (our sax player) really shines here! We hope you dig it.”

Watch the Visualizer for “Prison Of Illusion"

Known for delivering pitch-perfect recreations of Foreigner’s timeless hits, DOUBLE VISIONnow solidifies their transition into original music with a track that captures the soaring spirit and emotional depth of classic '80s rock while injecting a fresh, modern edge.

About the new album, DOUBLE VISION comments:

"We wanted to make a record that would be totally our own, but still contain a hat tip (or more) to Foreigner. We didn't want something derivative, but at the same time, something that would appeal to fans of the band. We wanted our own identity and stamp. However, we do feel that a good way to describe the album is that if you took all the different eras of Foreigner and rolled them into one, along with some other sporadic influences, it would sound something like DOUBLE VISION."

Check out this EPK about DOUBLE VISION

and their new album of all original material HERE

Born as a Foreigner tribute band in the United States, DOUBLE VISION honed their craft performing to lively and sold-out crowds up and down the east coast and across the country, soon becoming a real live attraction.

With a lineup boasting some of New York City’s top professional rock musicians and well-known faces of the scene, including dynamic frontman and singer Chandler Mogel (Outloud, Jeff Waters' Amerikan Kaos, Punky Meadows, etc.), super drummer Scott Duboys (ex-Warrior Soul), bass player Scott Metaxas (ex-Prophet) as well as guitar virtuosos Chris Schwartz and Paul Baccash, and keyboard maestro Alex Lubin, DOUBLE VISION recently considered working on their own music, still owing a debt and strong influence to the Foreignersound.

THE SPEAKER WARS Premieres Lyric Video for "When The Moon Cries Wolf"

July 10, 2025

Texas-based rock band THE SPEAKER WARS, featuring legendary drummer Stan Lynch(formerly of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and acclaimed singer-songwriter Jon Christopher Davis — has released a brand-new lyric video for “When The Moon Cries Wolf,” one of the standout tracks from the band's recently released self-titled debut album, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

Blending heartfelt lyricism with a driving classic rock spirit, “When The Moon Cries Wolf” captures the band’s signature sound—equal parts seasoned craft and raw energy. The song began to take shape when Davis tossed out the evocative title during a writing session, and from that moment, the song had a life of its own.

Stan Lynch reflects on the track:

“‘When The Moon Cries Wolf’ is a rocker that had me goin’ from the moment JCD blurted out the title. It was a gas to record; it just kept getting stronger the more we played it. Jon sings the snot out of it, and once he had the vocal, the tune reminded me of Mad Dogs & Englishmen's early records. It's even better when we play it live."

Watch the Lyric Video for “When The Moon Cries Wolf”

STAN LYNCH, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, long-time drummer and founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, announces today the formation of THE SPEAKER WARS. After two decades of recording and touring multiple albums with The Heartbreakers, STANmoved to the other side of the recording console and shifted his focus to production and songwriting. Over the years, STAN has written and produced hits for artists in multiple genres, including the Eagles, Don Henley, Tim McGraw, The Mavericks, Ringo Starr, The Byrds, Toto, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

While writing in Nashville, a publisher introduced STAN to Texas singer-songwriter, Jon Christopher Davis, who was gathering material for a solo record on a major label. After accumulating an album’s worth of songs, Jon abandoned working on a solo record and the two decided to start a band to perform the newly created material. Adding Jay Michael Smith on guitar, Brian Patterson on bass, Steve Ritter on percussion, and Jay Brown on keyboards, THE SPEAKER WARS was born.

Legendary bassist John Leven (Europe) offers a thunderous low end, and drummer Christian Lundqvist (ex-The Poodles) drives each track with precision and force.

One of the standout moments on the record is “Warlords Of The North,” a powerful anthem featuring a songwriting contribution from Biff Byford, the iconic frontman of Saxon. This collaboration adds majesty and weight to an already monumental track.

With ‘Wonderland,’ CROWNE continues to push the boundaries of melodic heavy rock, delivering a collection of songs that are as emotionally compelling as they are technically impressive. It’s an essential release for fans of melodic metal and arena-ready anthems.

Melodic Rockers GIANT Share New Single "It's Not Right" + Lyric Video

July 3, 2025

Today, melodic rockers GIANT are excited to share their new single, "It's Not Right," taken from their recently released album 'Stand And Deliver,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. The new single comes accompanied by a lyric video, available to view below.

GIANT is entering a powerful new chapter in their storied career, featuring a fresh lineup that propels the band's signature sound to exhilarating new heights.

Drummer and founder David Huff expressed his excitement for the new album:

“Making GIANT records has always been our passion! Thanks to everyone at Frontiers, we can make our dreams happen. I know it’s a bit of a different lineup, but whoever is in the lineup, the legacy of GIANT lives on."

'Stand And Deliver' showcases once again the talents of David Huff on drums, Mike Brignardello on bass, Kent Hilli (of Perfect Plan) as the commanding lead vocalist, with the addition of Jimmy Westerlund (One Desire) on guitars. Westerlund also takes on mixing duties alongside Alessandro Del Vecchio, who adds his touch on keyboards as a featured guest.

Watch the Lyric Video for “It's Not Right"

As if this dynamic combination of talent was not enough, the album also includes some gems penned by the original guitarist and singer Dann Huff including “Time To Call It Love” (a collaboration with the late Mark Spiro), “Holdin’ On For Dear Life” and “Paradise Found”, coming both from his sessions with Van Stephenson, which strongly link the new album with the sound of the classic album 'Time To Burn'.

However, with this new album, GIANT delivers the hard-hitting rock and melodic hooks that fans have come to expect while pushing the boundaries of the genre with a state-of-the-art production.

Order 'Stand And Deliver' HERE

Originally formed in the late '80s by brothers Dann and David Huff, together with the experienced jazz and rock keyboardist Alan Pasqua and Nashville session bass player Mike Brignardello, GIANT would soon become one of the most respected bands of the melodic hard rock scene, with the release of their debut album 'Last Of The Runaways' (A&M Records, 1989).

Following countless live performances in support of their debut, the band released the follow-up 'Time To Burn' (Epic, 1991), an album still regarded as a main source of influence for many melodic and hard rock bands who came after. With the sudden change of musical climate in the early '90s, GIANT disbanded with their members becoming involved in different projects, with both Dann and David Huff becoming well respected producers.

In 2001, Frontiers prompted GIANT to release 'III', an album that would prove to be a landmark in the growth of the new era Melodic Rock scene, particularly in Europe. Unfortunately, Dann's busy schedule along with the other members' commitments made the reunion impossible to carry on as had originally been planned; however, the vision of bringing GIANT back as a band with a recording and touring line-up was something that the band was still open to exploring, even if Dann had to step away.

Thus, original members, drummer David Huff and bassist Mike Brignardello, with the blessing of Dann started endless research for the right musicians that could be part of a renewed GIANT line-up. In the end, the choice fell on vocalist Terry Brock (ex-Strangeways) and guitarist John Roth (Winger, Starship).

The resulting album, 'Promise Land' soon became a fan favorite, showcasing top quality songwriting and performances. GIANT, however, went into hibernation again, with the exception of a one-off show in 2017, where the original band members reunited on a Nashville club stage for a charity event.

That event piqued fan interest and Frontiers and David Huff started talking again to see if they could manage to find the right formula for a new album from GIANT. When the Swedish bandPerfect Plan released a cover version of the GIANT’s original hit “Stay” in 2019, all the pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place.

Huff and Brignardello were keen on the idea of Kent handling lead vocals for the next GIANTrelease. Dann Huff gave his seal of approval, appearing on lead guitar on the single “Never Die Young”, which anticipated the successful release in 2022 of the 'Shifting Time' album.

GIANT are:

Kent Hilli - Lead Vocals

Jimmy Westerlund - Lead Guitar

Mike Brignardello - Bass

David Huff - Drums

Overland comments on the new album:

“I am proud of the new album. It is one of our strongest song albums to date. It is another milestone, as it’s FM’s 15th album. It’s very well paced and has great variation in song styles throughout. The album’s big ballad, 'Just Walk Away,' is one of our best. I hope our fans feel the same way as we do about 'Brotherhood.'”

‘Brotherhood’ showcases a band still at the top of their game, with highlights including the infectious anthem "Living on the Run," the unforgettable anthemic rocker “Don’t Call It Love,” the punchy and powerful "Coming For You," and the emotionally charged "Time Waits For No One" – all tracks that echo the spirit and melodic strength of FM’s early classics yet are unmistakably fresh and vibrant.

The opening track, "Do You Mean It," brings a bluesy, soulful vibe that echoes the Doobie Brothers’ classic “Takin’ It To The Streets” sound, setting the tone for the album. 'Brotherhood' also features one of FM’s most powerful ballads to date, "Just Walk Away" – a beautifully emotional song that highlights the band's mastery of melodic rock.

Describing the album, SONNE added:

“This record is a deeply personal journey back to where it all began for me - to the raw energy and spirit of my earliest musical inspirations. It blends the soul of old school hard rock with the punch and clarity of a modern production, creating a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and new."

SCARDUST Shares New Single “Touch Of Life I - In Your Eyes (Feat. Ross Jennings)" + Live Music Video

June 24, 2025

Today, the progressive symphonic metal band SCARDUST are pleased to share their new single “Touch Of Life I – In Your Eyes (Feat. Ross Jennings),” from their highly anticipated new studio album 'Souls,' out July 18th, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl. The single is accompanied by a special live performance video of the full three-part saga “Touch of Life,”offering fans an exclusive first look at the entire epic suite.

SCARDUST comments on the new single:

“'Touch Of Life' is a three-part musical trilogy that retells the story of Pygmalion - with a twist. It serves as an allegory for the life of an artist, or really anyone striving to become a better version of themselves. The song follows the greatest sculptor on Earth, who cannot find a woman he deems beautiful enough to be worthy of his craft - or his love. Eventually, he chooses to sculpt the most beautiful woman his imagination can conjure. He falls in love with his own creation and begs the gods to bring her to life. This is where the original myth ends - but for us, it’s just the beginning.

“We took the narrative in a new direction. As musical performers, we see ourselves as both the sculptor and the sculpture - constantly shaping ourselves, day by day, in pursuit of unreachable standards”, they continued. “It’s a process full of beauty, but also emotional weight. The full trilogy will be released as a live performance video on YouTube. In addition, the first part will be released as a single from the album.

“We’re especially excited to share this work with the incredible Ross Jennings (Haken), who performed in the original studio version and also joined us live - the very performance from which this video was recorded and filmed.”

Watch the Live Performance Video for "Touch of Life" Below!

SCARDUST’s early years saw their debut EP, ‘Shadow’ (2015), position them as a promising newcomer, while their first full-length LP, ‘Sands of Time’ (2017), cemented them as one of the leading progressive metal bands in Israel. SCARDUST rapidly rose to the top of the local metal scene, selling out shows and opening for the likes of Symphony X, Therion, and Epica. They soon expanded their reach, touring overseas and playing festivals and headline shows in Germany, China, and the UK, while continuing to dominate stages at home.

Despite the challenges of Covid-19, 2020 saw the release of their sophomore album ‘Strangers’ through M-Theory Audio, accompanied by seven self-produced music videos. Described by Dead Rhetoric as “captivating from start to finish,” ‘Strangers’ introduced a unique concept album built on complementary song pairs, earning strong critical and fan acclaim.

2022 started on a high note with the visit of folk star Patty Gurdy, who joined SCARDUST for a live show in Israel and filmed the band’s most viewed video to date, "Concrete Cages." The song, featuring a duet between Noa and Patty, tells a tale of mankind’s loss of connection with nature - culminating in a shocking twist.

That summer, the band headlined multiple shows across Europe, performing to packed arenas at Wacken Open Air and Dong Open Air. Testament’s Steve Di Giorgio, upon hearing the band from backstage, ran out front and watched the entire set, later describing himself as “mesmerized.” The year ended with the release of the dramatic one-shot video "Evolution of the Disney Princess – But She’s METAL," where Noa weaves through a high-energy metal arrangement of beloved Disney Princess songs in just three and a half minutes.

2023 saw SCARDUST release of "Game of Now," a cinematic piece set in a futuristic dystopian live show, play festivals and concerts across Europe and join power metal legends Blind Guardian on tour. The year culminated in the signing of a major multi-album deal with Frontiers Records – heralding the release of the highly anticipated album 'Souls.'

December 2024 saw the release of "My Haven" from 'Souls' followed by "RIP," "Unreachable," and "Dazzling Darkness." With 2024 being taken up with writing and recording 'Souls,' it wasn’t until early 2025 that they were able to announce that Ross Jennings (Haken) was guesting on the album and was to join the band for a headline show resulting in the epic "Touch of Life" video.

SCARDUST comments on the new album by saying:

“’Souls’ is a deep personal journey for us, combining everything from intricate progressive elements to sweeping symphonic passages, anthemic choruses and epic choirs. This album is a milestone for the band. It contains the SCARDUST DNA while experimenting with different writing and composing methods, involving every single musician in the band, resulting in the creation of the next evolution of our sound and pushing the boundaries of what we can express through music.

“Thematically we’ve explored ideas of memory, belonging, loss, and the desire for connection, weaving in influences from different musical worlds, including orchestral, Mediterranean, and even Celtic sounds”, they added. “’Souls’ is our most ambitious album to date, incorporating SCARDUST’s signature technical musicianship, and featuring the Hellscore choir and a string quartet throughout the entire album plus guest appearances from some international top tier musicians like Ross Jennings (Haken), Ally Storch (Subway to Sally), a Turkish orchestra and the TLV orchestra. It’s bold, it’s emotional, and we hope it resonates deeply wherever it is heard.”

Alongside SCARDUST’s rise, Noa Gruman’s metal choir, Hellscore, has been gaining significant recognition. Known for their unique a cappella renditions of metal classics, they have collaborated with renowned artists and bands such as Epica, Therion, Amorphis, and Alestorm. Hellscore is also an integral part of SCARDUST’s sound, performing on all their albums and live shows.

Noa Gruman is also much in demand as a vocalist and the already-impressive list of her recent guest vocal appearances includes albums by Amorphis, Ayreon, Therion, Gloryhammer, Nino Helfrich and Orphaned Land.

If you are looking for the most fresh and innovative progressive album, ‘Souls’ is set to be a milestone for the genre.

UNÉN Announces Debut Album 'Forever Winter' Set for Release on August 29, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl

June 23, 2025

Finnish melodic metal band UNÉN IS thrilled to announce the release of their debut album, 'Forever Winter,' set for release on August 29, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.

The track “Black Heart” is available today, along with an accompanying official video.

Vocalist Stina Girs talked about writing the new song:

“'Black Heart' was the first song I was given to shape with lyrics and vocal melodies, and it instantly resonated with me. The title had been echoing in my mind for a while, and the moment I heard the music, I knew - this was it. The song dives deep into the darkness of a toxic relationship, one ruled by manipulation and control at the hands of a narcissist. But at its core, the song is about reclaiming your strength. It’s the breaking point - the moment you rise, take back your power, and refuse to be broken”.

Talking about the album, the band said,

“'Forever Winter' began to take shape in the spring of 2023, marking a real turning point for us with the arrival of our lead vocalist, Stina Girs. At the time, we had a handful of instrumental tracks in progress - including an early version of what would become 'Black Heart' - but when Stina started working on the material, her passion and emotional depth brought everything to life.

“The creative energy between us took off, and with multiple composers in the band, the songs came together quickly. Musically, the album moves through driving melodic rock, cinematic progressive metal, and moments of haunting stillness - tied together by Stina’s powerful, expressive voice”, they added.

UNÉN continued:

“Lyrically, 'Forever Winter' is deeply personal. Stina poured her own lived experiences into every song, transforming pain into melody and storytelling. Each track is a chapter in a journey of catharsis, resilience, and rebirth. Over the following year, we focused on shaping the sound and capturing the heart of the album - an intense but rewarding process that led to our signing with Frontiers Music, who believed in our vision from the beginning. Now, 'Forever Winter' is ready to meet the world, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created.”

Watch the Music Video for “Black Heart" Below:

Hailing from Helsinki, Finland, UNÉN is a modern melodic metal band whose music also incorporates elements ranging from progressive to pop, blending intensity with sensitivity in its sound.

UNÉN was originally founded in late 2021, laying the foundation for the band's musical style. In 2022, UNÉN focused on composing and refining production independently, resulting in the release of two self-published tracks. However, after a rollercoaster year, there was a need to change the lineup to accelerate production.

The word "UNÉN" was derived from the band's original idea that lyrics would be based on the world of dreams. However, due to lineup changes, this concept took a different direction, but the name remained.

At the beginning of 2023, there was a shift in UNÉN's lineup due to the change of lead singer, which notably accelerated all activities. The band members coming together was a series of fortunate coincidences and determined searches, including encounters with old acquaintances. The right people had found each other.

In May 2023, UNÉN released their first single, “Made Of Stone (cover)” with new lead singer Stina Girs, who rose to national attention after placing 5th in the Finnish TV show “Idols” in 2010. She later signed a solo contract with Sony Finland, releasing two Finnish-language albums.

Inspired by the sound of Evanescence, the current lineup of UNÉN showcases their unique identity and creative direction. The band has since focused solely on original compositions, with each member contributing equally to the creative process. Bound together by their passion for music, despite having completely different day jobs, UNÉN stands out for its collaborative spirit and emotionally rich sound.

RAMONDA Shares New Single "Bad Girl" + Music Video

June 17, 2025

Today, Argentinian singer SANTIAGO RAMONDA is proud to share his new single “Bad Girl,” along with its accompanying official video, taken from his upcoming debut album ‘The Walls Are Crumbling Down,’ out on July 18th via Frontiers Music Srl.

SANTIAGO RAMONDA describes the new single:

“’Bad Girl’ is a song that allows you to explore darkness and seduction in a particular way. The lyrics reflect my fascination for women who are not afraid to be themselves, who don't stop at anything, and who live life on their own terms. The music is a perfect blend of rock and sensuality, with a rhythm that makes you want to move and sing.

“As a composer, I'm proud to be able to capture all that intensity. This track envelops you in an atmosphere that makes you feel pure adrenaline. It's a song that makes you feel alive, that makes you want more. And that's exactly what I'm looking for with my music: for the listener to connect with it, to feel part of it, and to feel alive!”, he added.

Watch the Music Video for “Bad Girl" Below:

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to present the upcoming debut album from RAMONDA, the first solo release by the brilliant Argentinian singer SANTIAGO RAMONDA.

RAMONDA had already caught the attention of the melodic hard rock scene with Stormwarning's debut album, and he's back again—this time under the direction of Serafino Perugino, president of Frontiers Records—to prove his immense vocal talent, crafting an album of melodic rock gems!

SANTIAGO started as a guitarist and then became a singer, developing his skill primarily through practice and self-knowledge. Although he has received valuable advice and guidance from some experts, including Iván Sencion, his growth as an artist has been largely self-directed.

In 2020, as a result of a cover of Joe Lynn Turner's “Prelude/Endlessly” published on his YouTube channel, SANTIAGO began to catch the attention of some players in the global melodic rock scene. Guitarist Stuart Smith (Heaven & Earth), whom the label has a long relationship with, shared SANTIAGO's YouTube videos with the label.

'The Walls Are Crumbling Down' is a solid album, showcasing songs with big choruses, a wide range of vocal arrangements, and SANTIAGO's tone—striking a perfect balance between vocal extension and a warm, bluesy digression (with “Blue Heart Of Stone” being a clear example)—alongside amazing guitar work by Suraz Sun, guitarist for Girish And The Chronicles.

Describing the album, RAMONDA added:

“This album is a battle cry for all those who love rock and refuse to let it die. With this album, we want to keep the flame of classic hard rock alive and take it to new places. For all those fighting to keep the spirit of rock alive, this album is a message of hope and resilience. And to see my name on that banner is a dream fulfilled, an honor that drives me forward with passion and dedication. I especially want to thank having had the opportunity to work with Alessandro Del Vecchio, a great honor for me that has enriched this project in an invaluable way. We will keep on rocking, and with you, we will take it to the top again!”

Songs like “The Walls Are Crumbling Down” and “Don't Look For Love” are just a taste of the many great tracks featured on the album!

Rockol Musicbiz Publishes Exclusive Interview with Frontiers Records Founder SERAFINO PERUGINO

June 14, 2025

Frontiers Records, the iconic Naples-based independent label, celebrates its 30th anniversary by looking ahead - launching new sub-labels, signing legendary artists, and preparing a landmark celebration in 2026.

In an exclusive interview with Rockol MusicBiz, founder and CEO Serafino Perugino shares the spirit that shaped the label and outlines an ambitious path forward.

“It’s my life. A passion born in 1996 from a vision. Thirty years later, I can say that it was a winning bet.”

Recent years have seen the creation of BLKIIBLK and FLG, two sub-labels aimed at expanding Frontiers’ reach into new rock and metal frontiers. While Frontiers Music Srlremains the beating heart of classic and mainstream rock, the two new labels allow the company to explore new musical scenes and engage an even broader audience.

“Following the release of the new Skunk Anansie album at the end of May, we’ll release a new Megadeth record between the end of this year and early 2026. Also, under BLKIIBLK, a new Biohazard album is coming. And that’s just the beginning - we’re working to build a strong, competitive catalog alongside the main label.”

What hasn’t changed is the heart of the operation: a family-led business with global reach, built on passion and integrity.

“When you put passion first, people notice. I’m still here telling great stories -and I still want to tell many more.”

To mark the 30-year milestone, Frontiers is planning a major event in 2026, celebrating with the people who made it all possible.

“The idea is to organize a major event here in Naples, with our full team, artists, and stakeholders. Everyone who helped us reach this milestone, built with sacrifices but also huge satisfaction. In this regard, special thanks go to The Orchard, our physical and digital distribution partner, who has always believed in us. It will be a celebration of a new, great beginning…”

British Rock Sensation INGLORIOUS Releases New Studio Album 'V' via Frontiers Music Srl

June 8, 2025

Acclaimed British hard rock band INGLORIOUS is thrilled to release their highly anticipated new studio album, “V,” out now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate, the band has released a new track, "Say What You Wanna Say," alongside a visualizer, available to view below.

Vocalist Nathan James commented on the new single:

“’Say What You Wanna Say’ is the kind of track that all the INGLORIOUS fans are going to love. It's that high energy high tempo vibe with lots of punch, but also with a bit of a twist. Colinwrote this musically and I love the chorus. It's a big tune and one I'm really looking forward to doing live”.

Bassist Colin Parkinson added:

“The track is a statement of attitude with a punk meets Mötley Crüe feel. Nathan was very open to changing up vocal styles and trying new approaches on this, which has worked really well. I look forward to playing this one live!”

Watch the Visualizer for “Say What You Wanna Say” Below:

INGLORIOUS returns with frontman Nathan James and original bassist Colin Parkinson. Nathan James, who founded the band in 2014, has been singing professionally for 20 years. He has performed/recorded with artists such as Ginger Baker, Uli Jon Roth, and The Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

More recently, he has appeared in Jeff Wayne’s musical version of The War Of The Worlds, Steve Steinman’s Vampires Rock Symphonic, 80’s Classical, and Zeppelin Symphonic. Nathan also fronts Supergroup Iconic, under the Frontiers roster featuring Michael Sweet, Joel Hoekstra, Marco Mendoza, and Tommy Aldridge.

In 2022, after a lengthy UK tour, INGLORIOUS announced a hiatus. After seven years of non-stop touring with bands such as The Winery Dogs, Steel Panther, The Dead Daisies, Last In Line, as well as their own international tours and festival appearances, recording four original albums, a live album and a covers album, everyone felt it was the right time to take a break.

Nathan is now back, looking forward to unleashing his powerful voice, and he joined forces once again with original INGLORIOUS bass player and main co-writer Colin Parkinson, who co-wrote and released the first three albums with the band: 'Inglorious,' 'II' and 'Ride To Nowhere.'

Joining them is renowned guitarist Richard Shaw, best known for his work with English extreme metal band Cradle Of Filth, as well as NG26, Emperor Chung, and Plague Of Angels. Richard brings exceptional musicality and a fresh energy to the band’s sound.

On drums, longtime friend of Nathan, Henry Rogers, completes the lineup. A celebrated musician, Henry has played with Touchstone, Mostly Autumn, Mia Klose, and Mark Kelly’s Marathon and has earned accolades such as “Drummer Of The Year” in Classic Rock Prog Magazine and Rhythm Magazine’s list of influential progressive drummers.

Produced by Colin Parkinson, 'V' was mixed by Tony Draper, who also worked on 'Inglorious II' and 'Ride To Nowhere,' ensuring the album retains the band’s signature sound while exploring new heights.

About the new album, James stated:

“In the summer of 2023, I sent a message to Colin and asked him if he wanted to come for a pint. A few meetings and writing sessions later, we had more than an album’s worth of great material, and I can honestly say I've enjoyed every second of creating this album with him and the new lineup. Colin has always been a great songwriter, and over the years we've both matured as artists, writers, performers, and people. This is going to be a great year for INGLORIOUS and I'm excited to welcome Colin back and to share this new music with everyone”.

Parkinson adds:

“I am extremely happy to be returning to INGLORIOUS after a while away. It’s the right time to get some kickass new music out there for the fans and to focus on the future. Writing and recording with Nathan again has been the easiest it’s ever been; it all flowed so well. We’ve all played and sang our asses off on these songs and I know the new album will not disappoint!”
