II

II is the second album, arriving from Frontiers on 31 July 2026, four years after 2022's Second Skin. The line-up has not moved: Nathan James (vocals), Michael Sweet (guitars), Joel Hoekstra (guitars), Marco Mendoza (bass) and the 75-year-old Tommy Aldridge (drums). Antonio Agate joins on keyboards and Marco Pastorino on backing vocals — Alessandro Del Vecchio, who played keys and sang harmonies on the debut, is not among the credits this time. Most of the songs are said to come from Sweet and Hoekstra. Two tracks were released ahead of it. April's “Cry No More” opens the record; Sweet called it a perfect representation of who Iconic is, and Hoekstra said he hoped it would give classic rock fans something raw and real in both playing and production. May's “Tears Keep On Falling” is a power ballad, and James said he loved singing it in the studio and that the chorus is a great one. There are eleven tracks, closing on “Heart Of Stone.” It also arrives just after Aldridge's long tenure in Whitesnake came to an end.
