Since 2021, SUNSTORM has featured one of the most impressive vocal talents of recent years, Lords of Black and Rainbow singer Ronnie Romero. Romero’s debut album with SUNSTORM, ‘Afterlife’ was released in early 2021 and showcased a rejuvenation of SUNSTORM’s previous musical formula, mixing Melodic Rock/AOR with more ’70s-oriented hard rock, a la Rainbow (for which Romero performed as the singer).
Romero’s voice and prolific musical activity have brought him to the forefront of the hard rock/metal scene where he can be seen/heard with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow, The Michael Schenker Group, Lords of Black, The Ferrymen, and Elegant Weapons with Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner.
Ronnie Romero is also a prolific solo artist, with the release of his first two cover albums ‘Raised On Radio’ and ‘Raised On Heavy Radio’ – where he pays tribute to legendary artists from the metal world – and his latest work ‘Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters’, the first to feature all-new original material, released in September 2023.
With the new album ‘Restless Fight,’ the third to feature Ronnie Romero, SUNSTORM changed its skin. The new line-up that backs Romero, comes from a heavy background.
On guitars, Aldo Lonobile, musician, songwriter and producer (Geoff Tate’s Sweet Oblivion, Archon Angel feat. Zak Stevens, Ring Of Fire feat. Mark Boals), Andrea Arcangeli (from the Italian progressive metal band DGM) on bass, Alfonso Mocerino (ex-Temperance, Virtual Simmetry) on drums and Antonio Agate (one of the most talented Italian keyboard players and arranger for symphonic orchestras, featured in countless albums) on keyboards. It brings back SUNSTORM’s classic AOR/Hard Rock formula with a heavy dose of energy culminating in a more dynamic and bombastic approach. |
