CORELEONI – III [Ltd edition Digipak + Bonus CD] (2022)

CORELEONI new album released past week titled “III” really rocks, and now we have the Limited Edition 2-CD digipak including a bonus disc with Gotthard covers, exclusive to this release.
Swiss rockers Gotthard slowly and over the span of years moved away from traditional hard rock and redirected their sound towards mainstream rock that allowed the band the enlarge their fanbase. Since the heart of rock’n’roll is still what drives Gotthard founding member Leo Leoni, the guitarist started a side-project called CoreLeoni. That was in 2018, the year when their first record hit the shelves. Leoni took Gotthard songs and equipped them with the spirit of classic rock / hard.
The album was well-received by fans and caused a positive echo that inspired Leoni to continue with CoreLeoni, and now we have the new album ‘III’. As anyone can assume, it’s the third record from the Swiss-based guitarist who has onboarded with Eugent Bushpepa a new singer. The powerful voice of the latter is certainly an enrichment for CoreLeoni and listening to the pumping rocker ‘Like It or Not’ gives an idea of his vocal range…
