Melodic Hard Rock / AOR is alive & kickin’ all over the world… tomorrow August 7 sees the international debut of SUPREMACY, the pioneer Melodic Hard Rock band in Colombia! They may come from an atypical country for this kind of music, but I assure you these guys are one of the most vital projects the genre has seen in recent years.
Their album “Leaders” will be available on physical CD all over Europe at the end of the month released through H’Art / Borila Rekords (Bonfire, John Parr).
Supremacy is a five-piece that finds inspiration from classic acts such as Toto, Def Leppard, Mr. Big, Danger Danger, as well as contemporary (The Poodles, H.E.A.T, Pretty Maids, The Magnificent, Lionville, Work of Art) finding a unique voice that tells us about all those great ’80s and ’90s achievements that made Hard Rock and AOR universal, but also speaks about its future in a present tense and with an unquestionable modern-day production.
