Shout

Shout is the album Hardline polished as a 2026 release, built on the classic feel of melodic hard rock and AOR-refined vocal drama. Leaving Frontiers and released on Steamhammer/SPV, it features Johnny Gioeli (vocals), Luca Princiotta (guitar), Alessandro Del Vecchio (keys/production), Anna Portalupi (bass) and Marco Di Salvia (drums), carrying the debut’s spirit into a modern sound. Expressive vocals lead the whole record, creating the sense of raising your voice from within, as the title suggests. Each song is compact, with a clear path toward the hook. A cover of Scorpions’ “When You Came Into My Life” is a welcome move recalling the old “Hot Cherie.” It has a beefier, more aggressive texture than the Frontiers era, with strong riffs stepping forward on “Rise Up” and “Welcome to the Thunder.” The closing ballad “Glow” leaves a quiet afterglow. A sincere hard-rock record in the Hardline vein, delivering melody and passion head-on.
