MARENNA – Voyager (2022)

MARENNA, the solo Melodic Rock / AOR project leaded by singer / songwriter Rod Marenna, has ready the release of their fourth and most audacious studio album entitled “Voyager“, due September 30th via Danish label Lions Pride Music.
MARENNA is the most important band within the Brazilian Hard Rock / Melodic Rock scene with international projection, with rabid fans from Europe to Japan.
Since their previous EP released last year, the band has been betting on this new most mature phase with an extremely melodic and rocking sound. Full of energy and identity thanks to the crystal clear production, choruses typically 80s and a style influenced by great bands of the past, “Voyager” has everything to easily be MARENNA’s most complete album to date…

MARENNA – In Your Face (2021)

MARENNA, the AOR band fronted by singer / songwriter Rod Marenna is releasing a new album titled “In Your Face“, a collection of songs from the band’s catalog newly recorded in stripped versions.
This is Rod and guitarist Alex Reck performing ‘Live into the Studio’ re-arranged acoustic takes of songs originally plenty of electric guitars & keyboards, not getting a new life with just vocals & guitar.
Also called by themselves ‘the lockdown versions (Corona Virus Era)’, songs like originally keyboard-driven ‘You Need to Believe’, ‘Keep on Dreaming’ or ‘Getting Higher’ are served into an intimate, back to the basics format, and you know, a good song is always a good song.
In fact according to Rod, most of these songs were composed this way, so the idea to present them in this organic way give the feeling of how these songs born.
A very nice, cool set of melodic tunes well performed & recorded.
Highly Recommended

MARENNA – Pieces Of Tomorrow [Deluxe Edition +2] (2020) *EXCLUSIVE*

Lead by singer and songwriter Rod Marenna, AOR / melodic rockers MARENNAPieces Of Tomorrow”, their fourth official release presenting a new phase for the band, showing a mature sound without losing their essence alternating between ’80s Melodic Rock / AOR and the current sound of the genre, especially from Scandinavia.
However, to my ears, Rod Marenna’s true love is Journey / Steve Perry music, and from there comes his inspiration.
Compared to Marenna previous material, this 2020 side of the band is much more rocking, edgy than before, pretty melodic hard rock at places, something you can hear on ‘Getting Higher’.

With the most intense vibrations, combining both musicians experience of more than 25 years dedicated to this musical styles, Marenna / Meister promotes an exciting union between melodic and striking vocals, powerful riffs / guitar solos with tons of energy.
“Out Of Reach” guarantees a trip back to the golden times when glammy melodic hard rock ruled the world on the late 80s and early 90s, inspired by Danger Danger, Dokken, Winger, Def Leppard, etc, plus a touch of classic AOR waves.

MARENNA – Livin’ No Regrets (2018)

Not a stranger at 0dayrox, MARENNA, the AOR / Melodic Rock band fronted by Brazil-born songwriter / vocalist Rodrigo Marenna already pleased us with their solid debut full of songs in the true traditional style of the genre. Last MARENNA album is “Livin’ No Regrets“, recorded live including songs from the debut CD plus new ones.
MARENNA as band, in live set, sounds much more edgy and melodic hard rock oriented. There’s pulsating rockers in ‘Keep On Dreaming, ”Reason to Live’ and the more groovy ‘Can’t Let You Go’.
The live version of ‘About Love’ is still catchy yet muscular, while the anthemic ‘No Regrets’ rocks with ’80s feeling.
‘Never Surrender’ is one of the best Marenna songs, and this…
